hitchBOT vandalized
it is very sad to report the end of hitchBOT´s journey across the United States. In Philadelphia vandals put it an end ☹ and we had hoped so much to take hitchBOT on board again. Here is the report on hitchBOT’s start crossing Canada.
truck service / portland
After our alaska trip the atego was waiting for lubricate. And there were odd metal punches when we had hiden potholes. I searched the internet, found E & A Auto Repair, (they are doing service on european vehicles as well) and the good evaluation convinced me to choose this workshop and what can I say: Nazier Abuzied is a genius! Within seconds he had located the faults, fixed a few screws, cleaned all parts before he greased them again and checked everything. He even knew construction details of the atego which had evolved through the years, – although those vehicles are not available in north america.
Since 10 years Nazier is an american citizen. He was born and raised in the Sudan and in the age of 14 he owned his first car workshop. For some years he serviced the lamborghinis, bentleys and mercedes of the sheikhs before he founded his shop in Portland / Oregon. His perfect english is self taught and so is his technical knowledge . As I said, nazier is a genius!
hoh rainforest / olympic national park
I´m really keen on rain forests even i don´t like rain very much. The olympic national park is a temparate rain forest and nonetheless as dense and lush as the tropical rain forests. It hadn´t rained in this area for weeks and so we were lucky because heavy rains occured just before we arrived. the forest and the mosses were soaked with moisture again …
p.s.: all those pictures are in 3d available as well.
la push
A small pacific coastal belt is part of the olympic national park and the small village of “la push” is the center oft he quileute indian reservation. An ideal setting for kitsch postcards.
