Mouse In The House

Mouse In The House

The good news, no rain this morning and the sun is creating a spectacular light show over the lake. The bad news, Pina has taken about a 468% increase in interest to the headliner for some reason. As one would normally do, I smack the head liner, and I hear it, the...

3 Pointer

3 Pointer

TURN ADN BURN BABY!! It sounds cool, but we didn’t really burn, more like a 3 point turn at the border then slowly worked our way home starting with a mangal on the way to Van, the road started nice, then got wild. And by wild I mean narrow with a few 100 meter drop...
The Call

The Call

What? Its Over?

What? Its Over?

With an icy start I crawl out of a rather warm tent, this heater is seriously worth every penny. With coffee boiling and eggs and bacon (read a full pack of bacon) I start the car which is running oddly rough this morning. It’s slightly missing, I think the glow plugs...

Reunited At Last

Reunited At Last

Reunited at last, Asareh had to head to Morocco over a month before I even hit the road, so meeting back up was amazing. Even if I did cause her to panic, after getting held up at customs for 3 hours due them scanning every vehicle, I had no sim card, and the guys at...
