The new journey begins, well, almost...
OUR EXPEDITION TRUCK IS FINALLY READY, WELL... ALMOST.
After a few delays and exercising some patience, ready or not it's time to take delivery. Our expedition truck builder suggested we start with a "round trip" as apparently their trucks need some tinkering after a few weeks of use, typically called a shakedown, to shake out the bugs. So a quick 20hr drive from Montreal with some tools, clothes and Mila.
First sunset.
Delivery day done, and the plan is a 6 week loop through Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Colorado and then sprint back to Missouri (first 3 solo, with Bianca flying into Las Vegas to join me half way in).
Big Bend National Park, Texas
Where not to have a break down! The drivetrain on "Le Monstre" is European, therefore Metric nuts and bolts... So someone put SAE bolts where metric bolts were required resulting in the transfer case almost falling off. Luckily an easy fix but 400km from the nearest metric bolt...
Big Bend Is a HUGE national park and you can spend quite some time there, my experience was one week and i could have stayed there for a month, theres alot to see...
Time to move onto Arizona
The list of things to fix is getting long.... but i'm still enjoying the first experience
We'll Be Back in AZ.
STAY TUNED
