Ruffing It

We welcome you to join our adventure! Our 2010 trip to Alaska was Mission Transition into retirement. With such a fantastic experience, we now have the bug and plan to keep the blog up and running, posting more photos, occasionally waxing rhapsodic, and... most importantly... sharing more adventures! For those of you just joining us, we are overlanders or expedition campers. We travel in a spartan rig to remote locations, venturing off road as often as possible.
