FIRST WEEK of Van Life on the Pan American Highway (Alaska to Argentina)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 พ.ค. 2023
- It's time! After driving 440 miles to Deadhorse in Alaska, the Pan American Highway can officially begin! We wake up in the bleak, empty tundra of Prudhoe Bay and put our sticker on the front of the general store, officially marking the start of our journey to Argentina. Join us for our first few days on the Pan American as we make our way off the Dalton Highway, navigating the treacherous Atigun Pass in not-so-ideal weather and maybe, just maybe sighting our first grizzly bear as we explore Denali National Park.

↠ A BIT ABOUT US
We're Chesca and Ben, and with our two pups River & Scout (🐶 🐶 ) we live and travel full-time in our self converted sprinter van, Sophia. We spent the past 2 years road tripping as much of Europe as we could, from the wild coasts of Portugal to the Syrian border in Turkey, tackling lockdowns and a van re-build along the way. But now, we're feeling like a new challenge. In the summer of 2022, we'll be shipping our van from the UK to Canada, on a mission to drive her all the way to Argentina! 🇦🇷

You guys are bringing back lots of memories this morning. We were in Denali when it was still McKinley . We spent the night in a hostel made of train cars with bunk beds inside and it was just 50 cents for the night, great fun and didn't have to set up the tent that night. We bought the bus tickets to do the ride through the park. We only saw one griz off in the distance but we saw our first caribou. It's an awesome park to see. Your van looked like our car, covered in dirt and mud. We had to drive through a lot of sections that weren't paved. Loved your video today, loved seeing all the wildlife and the dogs, this was a wonderful share with us today....thank you! Happy travels you four.🥰🌎
Pretty sure we drove past those train cars?! Were they painted blue and yellow? Felt so lucky to see the grizzly, and at a spot where we could see him for so long trotting off into the trees. Alaska has spoilt us with wildlife - and huskies!! Weren’t they just SO beautiful. Never seen such happy, relaxed dogs either. Loved it 😍 🐶 xx
@@OverlandingSophia I think so and had Alaska on them. My retired boss moved to Homer Alaska and his daughter moved up there first and started working with sled dogs. He adopted retired sled dogs while still living in Calif. and had them flown down.
What a road, what a drive, well done Sophia! And her team! Fantastic experience you are having the best time! 😊🐶🐶
Thanks Susan! I've got an amazing van and an amazing driver! 🤩 xx
I held my breath when you's were driving through the mountains! Beautiful scenery and wildlife 🥰
So did I! 😂😂
Just breathtaking. What incredible experiences you are having. So glad we can all come along with you on this amazing journey xx
Thanks my love, it’s been out of this world. Seem to be running out of words to describe it all! 🧡🧡
We wish you a great 19000 mile journey. An epic trip that so few brits would get to do and have the inclination to attempt. We will be following for sure. We were lucky enough to have Denali blue skies but did not drive in.
Thank you so much guys. 19,000 miles... doesn't sound too far if you say it quickly 😂 💛
Your Alaska videos bring me to tears, it's just so beautiful. Thank you for sharing such amazing footage.
So glad you can feel it too! There’s something magic about it here 🧡✨
Hola👋 from New Mexico 🌶️...Wow I found I wasn't breathing going thru the muddy mountainous roads. Seeing that grizzly bear was something 😮. What another epic vlog. Thanks for sharing. Lots of love sent your way.🤗💖🙏
Aha neither was I! Very slick roads but thankfully quiet and nothing Ben couldn’t handle 🤩 Thanks for being here lovely, lots of love to NM ✨
This series is So GOOD! Great story telling and facts about the area, EPIC drone shots too. Excited to follow you all the way South! WELL DONE & CHEERS
Thank you! 🥹 That means so much, so happy to hear you’re enjoying the videos. This is just the beginning! 🧡✨
Very good job guys , I love that you didn't rush through it and actually went to Denali too.
Thank you 🧡 Couldn’t come to Alaska and not go to Denali!
The vast wilderness us breath taking, seeing the wildlife is epic. Loved the pic of you guys and the dogs. Moose truly are massive creatures. Stay safe❤
We’ve been so spoiled with the scenery and wildlife here. Don’t think we’ll ever get over how big moose are! 😂🧡
Hi ya Chesca Ben River and Scout, it doesn’t seem real what a phenomenal journey you’re on , amazing keep the videos coming. Take care and stay safe cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🤩🥶🤩😍😍
Thanks so much Barry! I know it’s really like another planet up here. Getting spoiled with the wildlife too. Hope all is good with you! 🧡
Another amazing video guys! Denali National Park looks just incredible and we are very jealous 😀.
Great scenery and drone shots as ever but also lovely to get a glimpse of you playing the guitar Chesca.
All the best for the next stage of the journey.
A&S
Thanks so much guys 🥹 Denali was incredible but we were spoilt by the Dalton. Endless wilderness for free, can’t get much better than that. Haha one day you might hear me, when I won’t make your ears bleed 😝 xx
Absolutely love Alaska , would love too love off grid somewhere really remote in a log cabin. Alaska has fascinated me for years , pure wilderness, pure silence ,pure heaven .
Omg yes! It’s a wilderness like no other. Would love to spend more time here, get a plane into the interior and stay at a cabin off grid. Must be an experience like no other ✨✨
Absolutely amazing. What an adventure ye and your two wee fur faces are having. Great video. Safe travels.
Thanks so much Pat, it’s been pretty mad so far! Sending love from a sunny Alaska 🧡✨
Again, amazing scenery!! Well done on the epic driving
Thank you! 🧡
Just so awe inspiring. Our planet is truly wonderful and yes magical imo. The Alaskan sled dogs, wow and your dogs reaction when you got back. Awesome. Safe travels.
Totally agree, Alaska has made us realise how much untouched beauty there is still. And we weren’t really remote by Alaskan standards. And we haven’t even touched on the Canadian NWT! The huskies were the best, they were the happiest of dogs 🐶🧡
What a flipping adventure !!! Can't wait for the next instalment 🚐💨❤
It’s been mad! And it’s just the beginning! Hope you and Angie are all good ❤️
@@OverlandingSophia - We are thx.. setting off to Italy 🇮🇹 for 7 weeks of pasta pizza and exploring all the bits we’ve not yet done 🚐💨🍝🍕🇮🇹❤️
I like your video editing and the way the music tracks with it. Wouldn’t say no to that breakfast either!
Thanks so much Bob, the breakfast was goood! JUST what we needed after those drives! 🙏🧡
Another beautiful video. Thanks so much for sharing your awesome, lifetime experience. I enjoy every single video. 😊
This winter we had temperatures in the minus 30s which is unusual for Nova Scotia. I was lucky my pipes didn't freeze. I got up early throughout the night and turned the water on a bit to keep the water running with a slow trickle which is suppose to help.
My daughter lives in northern Alberta and she laughed at me, as it's common for them to get temperatures in the minus 50s. No thanks! 🥶
Love your sweatshirt, although I have no desire to go there. Lol The grizzly was super cool.
Stay safe 💖
Thank you!! So glad you’re enjoying the videos 🧡 Minus 30 is nothing to laugh at! Would a big no thanks to that never mind minus 50 😂🥶🥶 xx
@@OverlandingSophia I agree! I lived in Alberta and it got to minus 40 quite often. Those who say it's a dry cold and you don't feel it have never felt it. It went right through my bones. My daughter travels A LOT so she spends a lot of time in warmer countries.
Happy Sunday
On the road to Alaska from Argentina adventures begins
Happy Sunday! So it begins! 🥳
"This place is magic." So are your videos. Somehow you capture the essential feeling of the places you visit and transmit it me.
Thank you so much, that really means so much. If the videos achieve anything that’s what we aim for, to make you feel what it’s like to be there ✨🧡
Oh my goodness. Them Moose 🫎 are crazy looking haha. Love the spray job on the van 😅 Now you've experienced the Ice Road Sprinter Drive. This has been absolutely epic. Better words need to be invented 😁 And as for the Husky dog place. Yeah my sort of heaven. I can see why that bloke never leaves. Oh god what an epic adventure this really is. Just the looks in your eyes and them smiles. Love and Big Hugs Both ❤ Safe Travels X
Haha yes! Ice Road Truckers who?! Omg Asa the huskies were incredible. Never seen such happy dogs, you can tell they are living the dream. Winter sled dog experience through the snowy mountains is a new bucket list addition! Love and hugs xx ❤️
What an amazing experience. Love your story telling and facts. Fab. X
Thanks so much Linda 🧡✨
You two are so alive living life like we all should enjoy because I love Yr videos xxxx
These mountains and the wildlife, it’s exhilarating! 🤩✨✨
SO proud of you guys!!!! YOU'RE MAKING IT HAPPEN! Next stop....Ushuaia! You'll have made it 390 miles futher than I did onmce you've arrived (Went to Punta Arenas with the Marines in the 90's). looks like you'll pass within about 200 miles of there. Pretty cool. Prayers for Safe travels, Warm weather, and friendly people! xxx/ooo
Love you Bill! Thank you 🥹 Ushuaia seems like a world away right now, can’t imagine what it’s going to feel like when we make it there. Sending love to you and the family, I still have our drawings 🥰✨
Wow what an amazing experience you guy's had seeing all the wildlife you saw if they were half as beautiful to what we saw via camera it must have been the experience of a life time and being able to strike and see the huskies was amazing. I can't wait to join you next week it was just unbelievable on a lot of other videos I've watched I've not seen half the animals you've seen looking forward to next week. ❤❤👃🏻👃🏻
Thanks my love 💕 Feeling so lucky with the wildlife, the wolf and the grizzly are moments we won't ever forget. And the huskies!! Absolutely loved seeing them, if you time it right (which we didn't) you can watch demonstrations of them pulling which must be awesome to see xo
Breathtaking and I’m sure 100 times more so when you’re there in person 😮. Once again you four have given me something to smile about 🫶. Stay safe and God willing I will see you next Sunday.
Thank you for being here Starr, so pleased you’re enjoying the trip 🥰✨
@@OverlandingSophia I did enjoy and it wore me out so I took a nap like River and Scout 😂
Once you have seen mount Denali, you will never forget it.
Definitely a thumbs up for the video.
We’ve been so blessed with what we’ve seen so far I guess something had to give! Just means we have to come back to Denali ✨
Congratulations on starting the Pan American, that is a long road to Uschaia, 18,500 miles!
We went dog sledding in Lapland; so beautiful it made me cry! Dogs all bark and jump around until you start moving, when they become silent as they run. Magical! Our dog in the US was an Alaskan Malamute, called Tundra! Enjoy the journey! ❤️
I think it would make me cry too! Seeing the dogs, how happy they are, hearing about their lives and the connection between the land, the dogs and the humans who use them made dog sledding top of my bucket list! Somewhere remote and cold and wild ✨ Tundra is such a great name btw, Alaskan Malamutes are beautiful dogs 🤩 xx
@@OverlandingSophia ❤️❤️❤️
What a trip guys. It looks absolutely amazing 💜xx
Feeling spoilt by nature right now! 🐻 🐺xxx
Wow love your video's. They make me feel like I'm right there. Safe travels x
Really love to hear this, thanks so much Hazel 🥰 xx
Another great vid guys. So nice to see you loving it all. What a memory bank you will have for the rest of your lives. Just fantastic. Keep ‘em coming. Thank you.
Thank you so much! Alaska and north Canada have been out of this world. Can’t wait to see what the rest of the trip holds ✨🧡
Another wonderful video, guess you will be back in Canada next week. Just in case you are not aware, there are wildfires in Northern BC, be sure to check road conditions and any evacuation notices, hope you don't have to change your plans, probably best to head on Hwy 37 west ward to Prince Rupert, rain forest area, should be wet in the area, good luck and stay safe
Thank you 🙏 Yes not long until our Canadian summer adventures! We’ve been watching what’s happening with the wildfires 💔 As we came up the Alaska Highway we’re going to take the 37 south anyway, hopefully avoiding the worst of it all 🙏🧡
@@OverlandingSophia in some parts of Alberta, including Calgary right now, air quality from the wildfires is very poor and can affect one's health, depending on their age and health condition. If you run into it, N95 masks might be a good idea as well as limiting time outside? We have had smog here in Nova Scotia from the fires in the last few days. It is in the upper atmosphere so is not affecting our air quality according to meteorologists, but it proves how smoke can travel very long distances. Montana, Idaho, Arizona and Colorado are now getting smoke from the wildfires in Alberta in the States as well, affecting air quality there.
Oh my days! My green eyed monster is so out of control!!! 😱😱😱. Ben is living my dream of driving the most of the Pan Americana. I've done some of it, some of the Lower 49 and some of Central America, much of it the bits Sophia cant do. I'll be glued to your posts!!! Stay safe both and ear rubs for the dogs 💚
Between you and us we will drive the whole thing! 😂 Consider the ear scratches delivered 🐶🧡
Musk ox!!! Short but so sweet (as you promised). I'm so happy you got to see some wonderful critters. And the grizzly was amazing. Considering that it probably just came out of its winter den it looked very healthy. Wonderful vlog!!
Yes! They were quite far away but got to see their big horns and shaggy coats. The grizzly was gorgeous! We were saying how fat and healthy he looked! ✨
Your videos of the landscape and your drone captures are exceptional. Well done!
Thank you so much Jack! ✨🧡
Woo hoo - what a fabulous feeling it is to make is back down in one piece - Huge congratulations - South you go - sending much love from us xx
Haha the best feeling! South from here on out! Sending all the love across the water to Japan! ✨🧡🧡
Thank you so much for sharing this incredible journey with us🙏🙏💕💕🇨🇦🇬🇧💕💕
Ah thank you for sharing it with us! 🙏✨
WOW!…. Amazing to see the sled dogs!, And other wildlife !!….. fantastic road.
Vehicles always look badass when they’re that dirty….sign of a good road trip👍
Safe travels. Awesome Vid🤙
Honestly loved those dogs SO much. I wish I’d got across on camera just how happy they were. Must be an amazing life up there. Haha oh yes she had her war paint on! Loved the colour but love the lack of rust more so it had to go 😅
@@OverlandingSophia I wouldn’t worry, it was fairly obvious they were happy, well treated working dogs. 😁
Great vlog. The difference in weather was incredible 👍💙❤️
Thank youu! It was pretty changeable 😅
Choose your route through BC carefully, most of our province is currently on fire, safe travels, finally home from the hospital and eating proper food again.....
Yeah been keeping an eye on them. Glad to hear you’ve made it home, onwards and upwards from here! 🧡
Another great episode, always puts a smile on my face.
Thank you! Love to hear this 🥰✨
Wow - life goals for real! BTW I’m pretty sure the moose at the end was a male, you could see the new antler buds just starting to grow. 😊
Ooo never thought of this! 😍
I believe that the adult male also has a large kind of triangular flap of skin and hair, called the 'bell', that hangs down from his throat.
I’m so happy for you that you got to see a grizzly!!!
Safe travels and see you next week
❤
We felt so lucky to see the grizzly! He/she was so beautiful and shiny too 😍
Thanks for sharing wonderful moments.
Thank you for another beautiful vlog :) I absolutely love watching your adventures. The sled dogs - C'MON!!!! I hope you do not run into wildfire smoke on your way back south.
Thanks so much Mary, so glad you’re enjoying the videos! Yess the sled dogs were amazing, if all goes to shit I want to work there 😂🐶🐶
This is awesome! So looking forward to the adventure ahead!
Love this! Thank you 🧡
How exciting! Let the roadtrip begin🍿
Let’s gooo!
“Wow” congratulations guys on the dalton highway. The videos have been AMAZING 🤩 as a animal and nature lover I have been loving this series. Thank you. There’s a old saying for bares if one came up on you. Goes like this If it’ Black fight back,if it’ Brown lie down ,and if it’s white GOODNIGHT
Thank youuu! So pleased to hear you’ve been loving the videos, there’s been more nature and animals than we can cope with! Alaska and Canada have spoiled us for sure. Haha heard that saying before, love it 😂😳 xx
A grizzly! That's amazing! I tried for a couple of years to see one in Northern Alberta and was never able to find one despite a lot of long, long drives down bush roads. The closest I ever got were tracks or scat.
Congrats! I hope you get to see bighorn sheep, they're pretty cool.
Cheers!
Found out that Alaska has 30,000 grizzlies! Most along the coast but many inland. Still felt lucky to spot one and have such a good view of him running through the bushes 🐻 We actually saw bighorn sheep just outside Banff, but it was off camera when we weren’t filming so didn’t get chance to capture them. Dall sheep are the ones that keep eluding us 🐑 🧡
Another amazing adventure! I like the music selection to go with the moonscape :) Wow! Yay! A Grizzly sighting. I was hoping a polar bear might have been spotted but perhaps in a future adventure. Loved the Muskox, Caribou, Meese :), for many Moose, Red Fox, birds, and the Huskies. Only gonna get warmer from here on. Happy trails!
Thanks so much Carolyn! A polar bear would have been epic! But only from inside a moving vehicle please 😂 Hahah so many meeses - my brother and I call them that for fun so this made me smile 🥰
@@OverlandingSophia So true about viewing a polar bear from the safety of the moving vehicle. I imagine I would have been looking around a lot outside the van. A wee bit scary of a creature.
Crazy my love buckets.. Cannot get over where you have taken us to!
Aw we love you Mariam! Love buckets! 🥹 xx
We did this tour also last year and it was awesome! Glad to found your Channel to recap the moments
Such an amazing video. I’m continually in awe of all 12 legs of you. Look after each other and take good care xxxx
Thank you so much, appreciate the love and support always! 💕 Sending love from all 12 legs xx
Yine türkçe altyazı yok güzel aile yollar harika sizlere kazasız belasız iyi yolculuklar. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yakında geliyorlar, yoğun bir hafta oldu!
Отличной дороги, друзья!
Большое спасибо!
Wow amazing guys , thanks for letting me join you on your adventures
Thanks so much for joining us! xo
What an epic drive 😍 the scenery looks unbelievable and the wildlife and animals... WOW! Those mooses look so cute 💖 we now want to go to Alaska just to seem them. What an incredible experience. You guys looked so relieved that the Dalton highway is over. You smashed it guys 🥳🥳
Thank you my loves! It was an intense drive! Beautiful and mind blowing but also intense. We were exhausted by the end! 😅 The moose are amazing, honestly you wouldn’t believe how big they are. They look fake! Also thank you for all the love and support on this big trip, really means a lot. Would be so awesome if we were all back in Plymouth at the same time someday ❤️🔥
@Overlanding Sophia you could really see the sign of relief that, that part of the drive is over 😅 what an experience to add to your bank of memories 😍 unreal. And absolutely I'm sure we will be someday, with both having roots in Plymouth, it will definitely happen 🥰 looking forward to it! 💖
Hurray! Thank you for bringing us along!!
Woop thank you for joining us Wendy! 🥳🧡
As you said, what a desolate and white start to you journey south. Really enjoying this part of your travels. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences.
Thanks so much Ian, so great to hear you're enjoying the videos. A desolate start indeed! But very fitting! From one end of the earth to the other 🚐 💨
Awesome episode! Keep them rolling!
Thanks Rod! Plenty more where these came from 😀🧡
Brilliant video guys!!! Thank you for sharing. Take care
Thanks Yvonne! So happy you enjoyed it ✨
Im guessing you must be flying the drone from inside Sophia for the aerial shots. The filming and editing is second to none guys, and the wildlife shots and panorama are once in a lifetime pinch me moments.
Thanks so much Rob, yes indeed! I fly it from the passenger seat while Ben drives. We feel so lucky to have seen the wildlife we have 🐻🐺🧡
Just incredible. The wild, the scenery just wow, what an adventure. Amazing video guys thanks for sharing, I find your videos so short lol always look forward to next weeks adventure.
Safe travels
Thanks Russell, it's really like another world up here. When you think it can't get better, you see a wolf, or a grizzly, or an insane mountain pass! Haha as Ben has to do the subtitles he thinks they are too long 😆
Love seeing all the wild animals. Those sled dogs were gorgeous x
Absolutely stunning,thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for watching Kevin! ✨🧡
1. You may have done this, but get a heavy duty battery - it helps regardless, but especially at altitude/cold weather.
2. The fastest way to warm up any vehicle with a combustion engine is to start moving. The ‘time to temperature’, can easily be 1/4 the time from just sitting and idling.
3. The electrical plugs for vehicle are primarily for the oil, to maintain viscosity by keeping it warm, and optionally warming the battery to maintain cranking amps…. (Which is why you get a heavy duty battery as you start with greater power reserves)
What an adventure The mountains are so beautiful. All that wild life around. Take care and look forward to the next episode x
We have been totally spoiled by the mountains and the wildlife here 🤩
You're determining the weather by if you can see the road or not. You crazies! 😂 Anyway. Thanks for sharing! ❤
Given the unreliability of the weather forecast here we gotta work with what we’ve got okay?! 😂🙈
Great blog, such an adventure.
Happy memories for us, we had an amazing few days in Denali in 2014 as part of our month long trip to Alaska. We were incredibly lucky with wildlife sightings and an awesome view of Mount McKinley, just fabulous.
Sounds amazing! I've heard once you see the summit of Denali you'll never forget it. Glad this could bring back some good memories for you ✨
Wow ❤ amazing, what an adventure
Woww what a trip you guys will never find another road trip to top this one.. its something we will never get the chance to do now but being with you guys is just like being there. Stay safe see you soon michael & Kim Uk 🙏🫶
Yep it’s going to take some beating! Don’t think trips down the M5 will ever be the same again 😂🧡
Awesome cant wait for nxt Sunday. Be safe💖💖💖
Thanks so much lovely 🥰🧡
Wow. Just WOW!
Considering doing the same. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Would highly recommend! ✨🫶
Thank you for a great video. 💕for River and Scout
It has got to be rough now!! My angels are in no where land.. my god Parts of northern Maine and Canada are unbelievably no where!! I love my guys so much I look out for you weekly .. I love the four of you to Moon andBack!! Here in Maine! Stationary while I travel with you!! Xxxxoooo
Honestly Prudhoe Bay feels like the absolute ends of the earth! Thank you for showering us with love and support 😘 xx
My favorite !! I love ❤️
Denali, a very beautiful park. A friend of mine worked there for a year. Have a good trip
It was beautiful indeed! Must be an amazing place to work 😍
The Grand Journey begins!!! Huge congratulations on your major milestone! Ah, nothing like a truck stop breakfast. Food that really "sticks to your ribs," plus some 100-mile coffee.
Any grizzly sighting is nothing to sniff at! 😱 Great shout visiting the sled dogs. It's obvious they truly love what they do, and live to pull. You may find places where you can actually go with them on exercise outings. ❤️❤️😎👍xx
Thanks so much guys! This is Mile 0! Ah the sled dogs were amazing. Seeing them up close, hearing more about they do, it's put dog sledding in the thick winter snow top of my bucket list 🐶 💛
Nice memories
2:52 nice view of the Genie Lifts! Built in Redmond, Washington state, where I worked for 35 years. Keep on truck’n! 😄
Have to admit I had to Google what they were but very cool! 😃
Brilliant video, once in a lifetime if you are lucky. keep safe
Thanks so much Neil, feel so lucky to be experiencing what we are right now. Alaska has spoiled us with wildlife! 🐻🐺
Every time I see a truck I hold my breath for your windshield.
Ah you and us both! 🙈🙈
Another fab video! You are so watchable ❤
Ah thank you so much 🥹 💛
@@OverlandingSophia ❤️❤️
Have a beautiful vacation.
Thank you! 💛
I’m exited for you guys
Thank you Kaj! 🥳
GR8 VID ~ LOVED ❤ IT !!!

Thanks so much Richard 🥰
Wow just watched and blown away! ❤
Thank you so much Rob 🥹 💛
love ur channel, enjoy and keep healthy
The only channel I watch :D Nice work guys !!
Ah thanks mate! That's an honour! Enjoying seeing you living it up in Senegal 😀
Wow, Wow, Wow, what a great video
Thank you so much 💛
Enjoy your trip south. Love the footage. The Arctic is a special region & we had the pleasure of driving the Dempster in 2018 (the first summer you could drive to Tuk). We waited until we were in our mid 60’s. Wish we had gone much earlier. I’ll be interested in seeing what route you take. Recommend Hwy. 37 through BC & the Salmon Glacier. Stay overnight near the tie of the glacier.
Thank you so much Steve, totally agree about the Arctic. We didn't expect to fall in love with the north so much - both in Alaska and the Yukon too in Canada. Now we want to do a northern tour and do the NWT and the Dempster! And great minds, that's exactly our plan going south! 🥰
The white van looks so great in the tundra 😊
She does! Blends in perfectly 😎
Just back off hols and the first watch you guys,what an amazing wildlife experience one to cherish forever,and the best thing i only have 48 hours to wait for the next episode,and well done Ben what a drive,balls of steel 😂😂
Love this, thanks so much Darren, hope you had a lovely holiday! Go anywhere nice?! And yep, that boy can drive some tough roads 😂🧡
@@OverlandingSophia i went to lisbon and it was a lovely chilled out friendly city great food and some good nights out with the locals definitely go back sometime,off to Norway backpacking in September ,not sure i could drive the roads BEN has driven i take my hat off,loving the epidodes they just get better and better,take care all of you and see you all Sunday 😁🚐💚
Loving the vids..
Read the book "To Shake the Sleeping Self", Jedidiah Jenkins rode his bicycle from Oregon to Argentina.A good read.
On it! Thanks for the recommendation 🧡🙏
Wow! Wow! Wow!😊
That’s what we’ve been saying every day for the past few weeks! We need some new words 😂🧡
Wow nice place
Hey Guys, here on time this week! Wow! -15 degrees 🥶 still gotta love the Sophia Reliability.. that views all white innit? 😂👌. Love the sticker wall. Also love the adventure! Looks like the road is mostly just slush! Oh wow! What a paint job! Nice Deadhorse Hoodie. Ah breakfast looks amazing! Natures beauty has blown you away and made you speechless! Great wash to finish off.. 😂😂 Ben with the hair joke at Denali National Park. It’s nice that they restrict access to protect the wildlife. Huskies are so beautiful. What a great experience interacting with the site. Have a wonderful time ahead, see you next time! X
Hahah it sure is all white 😂 Yep the road crossing the mountain was slushy and muddy, so glad we got the tyres replaced before we came up here. Denali was amazing and actually it was created as a national park to protect the wildlife as much as the landscape. Pretty amazing! Sending love from a sunny Alaska back home ✨🧡
@@OverlandingSophia yeah the good tyres you have make a difference to the terrain. Anyway, safe journey ahead. Love back from an fantastically sunny ☀️ Devon x
