The Big 300
After leaving Australia at 265k we finally ticked over the 300k mark in Turkey. The car has been running great although does require your standard maintenance that is performed before most trips as you would expect, as the roads we normally try to drive add a...
To The Gods
After the D915 drive I figured it was time to see how wild of roads I could find. I guess for this blog I will just let the photos do the talking, I winded my way through about 75kms worth of crazy switch backs, loose rock slopes, thick fog and walked away okay....
Parting Ways

Boiling Pot
We waste not time getting moving in the morning before it gets hot, pulling along the main drag we stop and grab a snap shot in front of the hottest town in Australia, but not before hitting up the local shop for fresh bread, Asareh has prepared a great sandwich...
Today on SlowGear
I fear for my life… more on this later Waking up we pack up quickly and head out before it gets hot and the gravel gets soft. In true fashion I point the wagon straight up the drop off from yesterday’s stuck and power straight up, was it a display of shear...
