Hello,

I'm planning to quit Montreal in september. As you I would like to cross the Darien Gap with the Stahlratte.

It could be nice to travel with until Panama and maybe to Lima where I'll meet my wife for three months to go to Tierra Del Fuego.

Usually I'm more a lonely guy but it could be nice to have buddy to cross central america.....

Call me anytime, will be glad to talk to you. I am a 52 year old attorney in Brownsville Texas. Easy going, witty and a true adventurer at heart.
Marcos, it would be a pleasure to ride with you and hear about your adventures in the Middle East.
Troy, I have read about your adventures and have vicariously done the trip through your posts.

Will be doing Colorado and Utah starting May 15 for ten days. Maybe you might want to join me and three other friends and do Monument Valley and the many beautiful roads in Colorado.

Also on the October 25 Stahlratte
 
Hey Prensa, My buddy Don and I will be leaving Wisconsin on September 1st heading for Ushuaia. We have reserved spots on the October 25th sailing of the Stahlratte. It would be cool to meet up with you at some point in Central America.

Heading to Santiago
 
Ruben,

I'll be departing San Antonio on the 9th of September heading to Santiago. It looks like our routing is very similar. I'm linking up with a friend in Cartagena on 1 October, so I'm a bit rushed getting through Mexico and Central America.

I'd like to compare notes with you if you're interested. I've been debating on whether to ship by air out of Panama or by surface vessel.

Email mikemansell@charter.net or 828-261-6094.

DRRambler 7 Aug 2013 05:49

looks like there will be a bunch of us travelling around the same time. I'll be in Guatemala October 10 and on the Nov 15 sailing of Stahlratte.

I'm looking forward to meeting some of you :mchappy:
