Our vehicles are now packed full of food for the time we were going to spend in the Yucatan and we have made our way to the small town of Palenque to find our new camping abode. "The Galley" is where Kyle run's business. The key to keeping things rolling in the galley during the expedition is [...]

We woke up early to get a good start on another drive day. Guatalajara is a huge city and we made it a priority to stay together in convoy as we passed through. Once out of the city, we travelled through so many beautiful landscapes! Not the stereotypical Mexican desert scenes you see in the movies, but huge beautiful [...]

We woke up to the refreshing drumming of a steady rain. A few O'Conner family members from last night dropped by in the morning with some much appreciated coffee and also wanted to check out our vehicles. We took a few family photos with them and they instructed us on where to get jackfruit, an abnormally sized fruit that [...]

Today we spent most of the day driving and put a lot of pavement behind us! We had to fight through a tropical rainstorm the entire drive, which added plenty of excitement to the long trek. We also noticed an increased police presence here on the mainland compared to the Baja.  It made us feel pretty [...]

Today was a prep day for the coming adventures on the Mexican mainland. We started off by washing, cleaning and organizing the 3 beasts. It's amazing how much a good clean helps out with the looks and feel of the vehicle!  They just seem so much more intense and BA. This isn't Clay's first time coming [...]

We woke up with loads of excitement and nervousness because today we were going scuba diving. For most of the team it would be there first dive. Clay and Kurt were the only ones with a scuba license. We arrived at the scuba shop and received our gear and a super quick video on the [...]

When coming from a background and mindset of light weight backpacking and mountaineering like many of us, there is a lot to learn about the advantages (you could say indulgences) of overlanding. The idea of overlanding is to see and enjoy locations and cultures as much as possible through the comfort and versatility offered by [...]

This morning was absolutely beautiful! The water was calm and relaxing. After packing up we talked about the day and how each of us felt about the trip so far. It's important to our team to have these morning meeting so we are all on the same page. Kurt talked us through all the possible [...]

This morning we broke down camp and pushed for Santa Rosalia, a personal favorite. It's so quaint and compact. The town rests between two mountains and the ocean with the Eiffel Church in the center as the most iconic symbol of the town. This church was designed and built by the same man who built [...]

In contrast to yesterday's unpleasant morning surprise, waking up on the beautiful Punta Final beach was absolutely perfect. We enjoyed a slow morning as we watched the locals try their luck at fishing.  Then, after breaking camp we made our way on the Mex 5 highway to take a pit stop in the middle of a [...]
