When the wheels stop I have driven 569 miles (910km) without a gas station. The computer shows an average of 19.9mpg. Most of that was on a flat highway with the cruise set at 50mph.
Pretty telling description of his trip so far. Mostly highway using cruise control.
His website said he spent 24 hours in "the city without gas". I'm guessing that all of this was added drama to draw website clicks that had drastically fallen off. I clicked twice in the last few days and I haven't been on there in several months
yeah, after "running out of gas" last month, he's now bragging about how gas is more plentiful and screw all the haters that said he needed diesel.Seven said:

Is he dead yet?
i thought he fancied himself as an over lander... looks like a Sunday afternoon drive to get the milk.TexasAggie_02 said:yeah, after "running out of gas" last month, he's now bragging about how gas is more plentiful and screw all the haters that said he needed diesel.Seven said:

Nigeria will be coming up soon. It might be time to roll up the windows.
Dan has to create drama to get clicks because TexAgs lost interest in his over-pavement trip instead of the advertised overland adventure. I would not be surprised if a large number of of his clicks came from this thread. That might also explain why is now trying to troll those who recommended against using gasoline.
Hey! He made it to through Nigeria. He went through Piedras Niegras (sp?). Love the tidbit about 'walking through long grass is not a good idea.' Didja see a snek, Dan?
Is he dead yet?
Apparently not. Currently in Angola.

I took Malarone when i went to Mali. Never had any issues with it. I also wore long sleeves, pants, and used 99% DEET and mosquito nets.
YMMV
Also, what Dan fails to realize is that if he didn't take the correct dosage of the cure from the corner drugstore then the parasite may go dormant in his liver, causing a relapse at a later date.

A few hours later my symptoms begin to feel very familiar. I really don't want them to, but they do. It is as if I have run two back to back marathons without eating anything I am weak, shaking a little and feel very disconnected from my body. I can tell that if I went to the gym, I would be unable to lift the lightest weights on offer.
I tell my friends I think I have Malaria, and we discuss the options.

Happily, all the way back in Cameroon I planned for this outcome. Knowing I would be many months in the remote jungles of West Africa, I bought the inject-able "cure" for Malaria, called Artemether. This is more-or-less a much more potent form of the tablets I have been taking, and it is what would be injected if I got myself to a clinic.

Remote jungles of West Africa ... otherwise known as a row of trees by the highway.

This is what's known as "foreshadowing"

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I've been out of the continent for five months and we'll still beat him back to Lundazi.

If he makes it to July, we can recycle the original death pool guesses.

I was just thinking about that. I couldn't remember mine. Maybe July 23rd or so
Is this guy dead yet?

He posted on his blog/tracker site today. So he is still alive.
Is he on schedule?
Asking for the lazy.

He keeps saying "we". Thought he was traveling solo.
I noticed his route basically skips the Congo and Somalia. I guess he isn't a true overlander.

Just imagine how 1/6 would've played out if DC hadn't had such strict gun laws.
Two people starred his post as of the time of this signature. Those 3 people are allowed to vote in the US.

i refuse to give him page clicks, where is he these days? cant wait to bump into him when he comes to Addis Ababa. /s
Some desert in Angola
Looks like he is still kicking as of 12/28/17.
Some where in Namibia.

Apparently he has paired up with some other vehicle he ran into for a while.
I initially thought hobbit feet might be back.

More like giant feet.
Saw this thread bumped and my first thought was "he is finally dead" alas that is not the case... still can't believe he bypassed Somalia, I guess he is saving that for the last item on his bucket list.RedBeardDude said:

It's a new year so might as well. And you're welcome.
