Default Wow

We have met some intrepid individuals in our lives, but here we have two real adventurers. The fact that they are doing this in my favorite automobile is simply icing on the cake.

As a infrequent visitor, I may have found another reason to read Rennlist more often…

It appears from the satellite that they have done some backtracking?

Also, I did not see an english version of the trip, did I miss a link?

Love the fact that they started this adventure near the Arc de Triomphe.

The website is only in French, but not difficult to understand:
Accueil: Home
"En live": News
Géolocalisation: current location
l'Equipage: the team
Le Véhicule: the car
L'itinéraire: the itinerary
Partenaires: Partners
@ nous contacter: how to contact us

They will be at Vladivostok tomorrow!

It seems that the Vladivostok (Russia)-> Donghae (South-Korea)->Sakaiminato (Japan) is the regular line of DBS Ferry.

The car is on a boat, heading to Anchorage.
It should be there for the 26th.

Thanks for the information CS.

They were in Japan for a while and I was wondering if everything was ok.

BTW, they take wonderful pictures...

I wish them the best for the rest of the trip.
