Old vs New Defenders at the BC Overland Rally in Merritt BC #rovalutionautomotive #bcoverlandrally
Our run-around Land Rover Discovery for the summer had a clutch failure last week. It felt like pieces were flaking off for about 2 weeks before it stopped working. Guess what? They were flaking off! Worst clutch disc failure I’ve seen but should be easily remedied with a new clutch kit from @rovalution !
#rvglobetrekker masters the off-road course at #nwoverlandrally
A great opportunity to exercise what was taught today at the #nwoverlandrally with the guys from #overlandingbc recovering a big rig on the obstacle course.
Posted @withregram • @gg.faves Lots of great Land Rovers out for @nwoverlandrally 2022.
Such fun!
Fitz in the sun at the Northwest Overland Rally in Plain Washington. The wide open green spaces are disappearing fast!
There hasn’t been much but rain for the first few weeks back in BC. But the sky cleared for a beautiful day at the VanDusen ABFM and it was great to catch up with many old pals!
I’m always a sucker for fast flowing water! This is the lower cascade of Fletcher Falls north of Ainsworth, BC
Posted @withregram • @gg.faves The Mighty Fitz and his Going Global crew are back in BC x’ing over at Nelway at 12:45 pm today.
Nov. 09. 2021 to Apr. 30. 2022
28,728 kms and 15 border x’ings from Abbotsford BC to Panama City, Panama and back.
Fitz was a total champ and did not let us down, needing very little maintenance on some of the worst roads we have ever been on.
We have lots of stories and memories and we met a lot of amazing & incredible people in Central America all our travels.
It feels good to be back in BC and Fitz will be getting a living area refurb this summer and once done… we are gone again.
Thanks to all our family & friends for your support. See you soon!
Fitz at the Thelma and Louise Point. Not gonna do a T&L! We’d have to rent a Jeep for that 😜
Salt Flats panorama. Wendover, UT
Fitz in a happy place. Minor repair accomplished and now out to play.
New Mexico camping. Some of you may have noticed a huge box on the back of the trailer. Any guesses what it is? 🤔
Can’t spend a night in Lubbock, Texas without taking some time at the Buddy Holly museum. We enjoyed an empty parking lot last night and this morning went to the museum. Great memories!
Through the lava fields on the slopes of Volcan de Pacaya in Guatemala with friends from Antigua. Very cool off road drive with 5 Land Rovers doing what they’re made to do!
If anyone wonders what a lot of our days in Central America entail, it’s not just driving around the countryside. It seems like every time we enter a new town or city it’s instant chaos & noise. Here’s a dose of a typical street. Turn on your sound to get the full picture. We are constantly surprised We haven’t totalled the truck a hundred times by now.
Early morning stillness in central El Salvador. A little bit cooler up in the mountains and stunning views!
I searched Google Earth until I found myself! 😂
A little bit of a water crossing on the way to our lunch spot.
Just a few of the 45 Land Rovers enjoying a day in the sun in Costa Rica 🇨🇷
TEAM LAND ROVER COSTA RICA gathering. Can you count the trucks?
It’s all down hill from here! We stopped at the summit of the Pan-American highway. This spot in Costa Rica is 3355 metres (11007’) at the road and 3491 metres (11453’) at the flag. This is the highest point on the highway from Alaska to the bottom of South America. Lovely and cool for a hike to the top.
We really enjoyed touring the Miraflores Locks on the Panama Canal. Hard to imaging this canal has been operating for over 100 years. Wonder how many ships have passed through over the years.
A city in Panama with a great name! I guess you know why we had to stop…
Volume Up! First night in Costa Rica and we’re being serenaded by some invisible birds. We couldn’t see them at all but boy could we hear them!
Something not quite right here…
Copan Ruinas in Honduras. Our intro to Honduras was rain and loud music all night, but the next morning the clouds cleared and braced with extra caffeine we went to wander the Copan Ruinas, a huge archeological site featuring Mayan pyramids and a full community. While there was lots to see and no doubt you will get the full story from Pamela’s upcoming posts, here is a little teaser for you.
Today we went for a walk from Vagamundo camp to central Antigua. On the way we came across the ruins of a 17th century church and convent. The ruins go for a couple of blocks and have been preserved as a garden. This is supposedly not one of the big attractions here but we really enjoyed a quiet wander around the site, El Museo De Santo Hermann Pedro.
Art Penner, this ones for you! We are camping the next couple of nights in a place called Vagamundo in Antigua, Guatemala. They have lots of old VWs on display and converted to camping cabanas. Also they have a refurbished freight liner, big boat and a helicopter to give people some fun camping options.
After a good climb out of the valley Fitz needed a few minutes break. Volcano du Agua in the background.
