Easter in the Ozarks and AlCan Delayed

Well, I sorta buried the lede in my long-winded “Who is we?” rebranding post. Something something something drive Seattle to Anchorage something something something real soon. And it was to be in May!

But over over a whiskey video conference last night, we have had to face the realities of our schedules. Or George’s anyway. And in truth, four months was feeling really quick given my own business travel agenda.

So we’re still definitely going to do it, but now we have to wait so very long until late August. Obviously we’re going to make it up to ourselves by doing another mini trip in the meantime!

Evan has been itchin’ to get his Wagovan, a 1986 Honda Civic with a “push-button” 4WD system, out on a trip since he got it. I was there on its first trip to the Whitewater ORV park:

Oh. And there it goes. And what’s that smell?

But in fairness, he did make it out there and had a ball.

Lo, the little Civic that could… get stuck in a dusting of sand.

Since then, he’s worked on it tirelessly to get it up to speed. And he has apparently concluded it is ready for a roadtrip. I have to admit, much as I like to give him a hard time, I am excite. It’s a plucky little car that seems so determined to get out there and go. And it’s fun to watch.

So who knows stuff about pretty driving and light overlanding in Arkansas? Looks like we’re planning another Easter Special a little to the east.
