A new website, a new truck for a new adventure.
Our new camper (see here) is under construction at the GlobalXVehicles.com factory in Nixa Missouri. When it is finished around mid year we will be taking off on about 6 months of proving trials to NE Canada, the New England States and Mexico before shipping to Vladivostok in March of 2013.
Once underway will will maintain a daily Journal, a route map with daily camping spots, and photo galleries for each country.
In addition there will be periodic posts on topics that catch our fancy and articles on topics we think other travelers will find interesting. To access a detailed list of these click the tab on the left hand side of the screen. Also see the Vehicle, Gear and How items on the main menu.

We took delivery of the completed vehicle the week beginning May 7th, 2012. I spent most of that week at the GXV premises learning about the vehicle, dreaming up new things for them to do and completing the usual paper work.
Over the coming months this site will get active and new entries will start appearing. In two weeks we pickup our new truck and then head to Overland Expo 2012. Learning about the new truck and camper together with Overland Expo 2012 will provide some good material for posts, so stay tuned.
Our new vehicle. We are close to having our new expedition vehicle. It should be complete by the end of April 2012. If you are interested in the why and the how of our decision and choices and a look at the build up of the truck, click here.
We have now owned the Earthroamer for a short period and driven it far enough to make some initial assessment. This article gives our impressions and points out the differences between an ER and our (now departed) Tiger.
