Dan,
I have enjoyed reading about your adventures. I have a friend who is overlanding in the Congo and have been looking for a way for him to document his travels. There are so many more options out there now than when you were on your epic adventure. Do you have any suggestions that you have come across since? At the time were you simply placing points on a Google map for the “where is Dan” portion?
Hey Brent,
Actually I didn’t have the best internet on the road, so a friend was putting points on a google map for me. It works OK, but it’s not great.
Many people upload a track log from their GPS for this purpose.
Do you might passing on contact details for your friend? I’d love to get more Africa information into
Thanks,
-Dan
Hi Dan!
I found your blog while doing a google search about ferrying from La Paz in Baja over to Mazatlan, and immediately realized I’d stumbled across a gem. I’ve spent the last week of evenings after dinner living vicariously through you and your intensely inspiring journey, not to mention incredible photos. I must admit, when I reached the post about parting ways with The Jeep, I was hard pressed to not get choked up!
It is both awesome and weird to read the whole journey from start to finish in such a ‘short’ period of time, it felt like watching a documentary on fast forward maybe? So incredible.
Thank you so much for the time and effort you put in to publish all of this, so that those of us with ‘that crazy wanderlust’ can enjoy it so much, not to mention feel validated about our own pull to see how far we can go, on every possible level.
Imagine my surprise, and yet strange sense of ‘well of course, the world is a smaller place than we often give it credit for…’ – I was in the Yukon doing camp work south of Dawson in the fall of 2011, not really all that far from your Yukon fall camping post. Wondrous strange.
Thank you, and best of luck in wherever the road takes you.

Hey Megan,
Thanks very much for the kind words. It’s awesome to hear that even after a couple of years my stories are still inspiring people.
Showing others how possible it is to live your dreams was one of my main goals, so I’m extremely happy my website is still doing that.
It puts a huge smile on my face
All the best, keep adventuring,
-Dan
