Thanks...again. What a wonderful, charmed life with a foto album to match. Keep 'em coming.

Nice travel blog! I wonder if MtGoat666 is going to tell him to hit the brakes after reading this, in the blog:

"There are some crazy travelers in the world—compared to guys like this, we are not among them. Riding a bike on Highway Mex 1 is nuts. This picture shows what is probably the widest shoulder on the entire highway. Ninety-nine percent of the time this guy is riding right in the road—a road which would not accommodate two trucks and a bike at the same time."

I'm sorry but that's a misleading quote. The following two sentences are:

"Another guy we met is running the length of the Americas and doing an average of 50 kilometers (30 miles) a day through Baja. These guys are always treated very well by other travelers when they roll into the campgrounds—definitely given the respect their zaniness deserves."

For sure. Can you imagine the "world view" they'll have throughout their life without all the social pollution kids grow up with these days?

Not sure if you guys dug into their blog but they previously (with no experience) sailed a catamaran around the world. That trip took them 4 years.

They then drove an old VW bus all the way from Oregon to Argentina, shipped it to Europe and continued.

They bought a mono hull and lived off of Baja gulf side and Pacific side of mainland Mexico.

Pat is a good writer and conveys insight about living afloat on mono hull vs multi hull and endless refections on all the places and people they visit.

For some reason they like Mexico best :bounce:

It's all in there if you dig it out. Amazing!

Geez. The dude was a commodities trader who apparently made a crap load of money gouging all of us. He still does trading whilst traveling.

In my opinion, the leaches that are commodities traders make their living off of the general population. They are absolutely unnecessary.

Witness the current slide in oil prices. They drove them up only to make money for themselves and ridiculous profits for the oil companies.

That said, it does look like they are having fun.

Now Howard, was all that necessary? Go to the back of the class. :biggrin:

I have dabbled in commodities and probably have lost more than I have made but the question is, who's fault is it, there's or mine? I choose me.

Remember, love, peace and tacos.

I'm never disappointed here at Nomads. I can always count on some negative, insulting, opinionated rants from Wodd and Goat. Must be some very unhappy lads.
