News from the Trip

You could do the whole trip in about 3 days - but where would there be the fun? Join our tour across the USA and then hopefully to Canada (if the borders will be open). We will upload pictures, videos and stories from time to time.

Stay tuned!

Our way to the final destination - Part 2

On Wednesday, September 29th, we and Sir Quigley can finally go a little off-road again. A place recommended by Chris has to be reached, whereby the last half hour drive is very rocky. And we will be rewarded again. After the route through the forest, the clearing opens and we are right by the sea. […]

Our way to the final destination - Part 1

We are now out of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The last kilometers before Ontario were, as already described, simply open, wide land - and yes, the sunsets here are gigantic. In Ontario, on the other hand, the picture suddenly changes - different landscape with thousands of lakes along the Transcanada Highway. Pretty as […]

We are already through British Colombia […]

The beautiful (but complicated) way into Canada ...

Saturday, August 14th, 2021. We leave Yellowstone National Park behind us and continue direction north. We can park overnight at a small park in Livingston, Montana - we don't set up a real camp here, but we enjoy cooling off in the adjacent river. By the way, today we are half way through our trip […]

Colorful Colorado and Howdy Wyoming!

So Colorado it is... it's getting greener and greener and instead of sandy dunes we can see real mountains now. The wildlife remains on our side. On the first few miles through Colorado we see the rather rare prairie dogs. Super sweet! A beaver is swimming its rounds at our overnight spot and a family […]

The course is heading towards Utah - a state that we have been following for a long time through Chris (@ venture4wd) and are now very excited. The breathtaking nature of Arizona makes saying goodbye difficult. So many rock formations, […]

Grand Canyon - Part 2

Despite the rain coming again and again, we stay 2 nights. We look at fascinating rocks, have a wonderful sunset and are looking down at the city of […]

Off the path...

… we are good at that and we also enjoy doing it (unintentionally). While these lines are being written, we are sitting in the Cibola National Forest in New Mexico at 2238m. It will start to rain soon, it is already thundering quite hard, but currently we are a little used to enjoy our camp […]

We are on tour!

Who would have thought - about 2 weeks ago we stopped working and now we're already on our way to new adventures. Why not until 2 weeks later? Well, we still had a few things to do. Since we are going straight back to Germany after our tour, we had to clear our beautiful house […]
