The time has come for me to fulfill one of my life's dreams. I've been working on this for over a decade but preparing seriously since I had a chance to chat with Scott Brady back in May at Cruise Moab. I think I was one of the first 20 people to sign up for Expedition Portal but a job change disconnected me from cube and PC addiction. I was able to chat with Brian and Scott during Outdoor Retailers here in SLC. I'll be writing about my trip in Overland Journal (www.overlandjournal.com) and Toyota Trails (for those of you in the TLCA.)
www.expeditionamericas.com has all the info, I'm currently working on a page for truck specs but my html skills are limited so it takes longer than it should. The truck is pretty close to being ready to go as it is. Adding an Ezi-Awn tent, rack, 4:88s and a bunch of PM. I have RSS and email subscriptions to the blog if you'd like to receive updates. I am really struggling to focus on anything but this trip, November 5th can't come soon enough. My goal is to document the process well enough that it can be used for a guide for others hoping to attempt similar adventures.
I'm also hoping to glean some info from the experts on the board regarding overland travel. My two biggest concerns now are shipping around the Darien Gap (i'm leaning toward VZ) and the time frame from Belize to Costa Rica. I'll post up those questions later. I want to thank you all for the info I've already been able to gather from the site and also to Scott, who after I made my decision to go, sort of pushed me over the edge to fully commit.
