Call me goofy but I wish I could have been there to experience it. Really appreciate the little details she provides like fuel management, how the rear tank works, the capacity of the fuel bag, the type of food she brought, water supply, etc. The drone footage is absolutely AWE-INSPIRING. In its own way, the area is as amazing to see as the Andes. Also appreciated her detailed update at beginning on the area conditions and hazards. Thank you so much Noraly. Peace ❤❤

    Hi Noraly...I remember when you first arrived in the USA (to San Diego) from Mexico on your way up to Alaska...I live in San Diego & I had assumed that you would just take a scenic drive up the coast along Pacific Coast Highway for at least maybe the trip up to Los Angeles...instead, after spending about a week here in San Diego getting Alaska serviced, you immediately headed west out deep into the Anza Borrego Desert in the late summer, when it was still exceedingly hot out there, all by yourself (something not too many local people, who know the very well, would ever venture to do)...&, now here you are in North Africa, all alone in the middle of an even much deeper, almost completely barren desert 🏜...you really are amazingly courageous woman!
