Hi Folks,

Im not even sure why I am writing this here,probably simply to assert something to myself,even if its flawed.

Over 2020 I put togther a vehicle with the purpose of heading off towards Morocco sometime in 2021, well that has mostly come and gone by now, and with the continual issues between spain and Morocco, as well as other counties within North Africa, it looks like 2022 is going to go the same way at least to start with.

There are millions of miles to explore within North America I could do, but a lot of that I have done (by car and plane) and honestly ,a lot of it is the same, not in terms of vista's and places to see, but the people are quite similar,I personally dont feel (and I emphasise personally) that holds a ton of appeal to me, at least right now. At least in terms of "going places".

I could get to Mexico and further south, but thats a ton of miles from Montreal to slog through,and I dont have months of time at this point in my life (working desperately to achieve this, but not quite there yet) to get to and from the places I want to see, my way.

So I figured,why wait for the perfect window of all things to happen as I would like them to.

I have decided that (corona virus issues permitting) this spring the car will be shipped to Europe. this will be the start.

Comparing the distance from Montreal to Baja and applying this to the European continent,really shows I will be able to visit quite a few countries and places,and well planned, I can circle areas without having to pass the same places twice.Lots of countries,lots of places,lots of different cultures I know very little about.

If the situation with Spain and Morocco happen to change for the better while I am there, perfect, if not , no problem. I cant solve the worlds problems everywhere, so I will deal with what I can and not concern myself with what I can't.

With every passing day I feel time slipping, this pandemic and the issues it has brought to the surface shows us that this is a very fragile world and our time is limited.So balls out! time to go and do something epic.

So do I need my 4WD equipped with muddies for any of this?, very likely not and will be a complete waste of money, but you cant take it with you!, and I really dont want to leave many piles of it behind for others! so it!!

Maybe ill put it on A/T's before I ship it and keep the muddies for my cruiser here,but I think thats the extent of my planning for now.

I just want to go!
