When we arrived at our campground last night we noticed this truck camper and the strange license plate. After dinner I went to the casino (didn't loss) and David was outside and started to visit with the people. It was strange yet interesting to meet people from Holland especially in Baker, Nevada. They had shipped their camper from Hamburg, Germany to Buenos Aires, Argentia. They flew to Argentia got the camper and drove south to the end of South America. Their adventure started October 2011. They then went north on the Pan American highway which took them across South America and crossed the Panama Canal and then entered the US from Nogales, Mexico. They went to Tombstone, Grand Canyon and Lake Powell. In May they put the camper in storage in Los Angeles and flew back to Holland for a month to visit family. Upon getting back to the US and getting their camper they went to Arches and Canyonlands National Park in Utah. When we met up with them they were going to Lake Tahoe up the California and Oregon coast with stops in several national parks. They are going into Canada and then to Alaska then back to Montana to see Glacier, Yellowstone and the Tetons. They will travel east to Halifax and put the camper on a boat back to Europe and they will fly home. Their adventure will end Ocotber 2012. David suggested that they stop in South Dakota to see the black hills. The lady said isn't that were Mount Rushmore is located. WOW. They are amazing. They spoke English perfectly and knew enough Spanish to get by. In the future they want to come back and see the South East and especially Florida. I am always impressed by the amount of people that we meet from another country that so appreciate our country. Happy Trails to them.
