Total fail before the trip. But I did get down to 235 on the trip for reasons I can't explain given I was drinking beer and eating fairly well. Maybe lack of stress?

Then I came back to the states, got a job, and gained weight like I always do on a new job. Peaked out at 280 - an all time high! Now I'm about 256, which is apparently where my body wants to be or something.

I think he actually wanted a "number of times going to bonetown" update.

I'm not sure if this was available to you at the time, but you can add a cool google translate widget to your phone that picks up your conversation and will translate spanish to english and then your english to spanish. I've used it multiple times with my roofing crew lol.

I hiked the W circuit in Patagonia in fall 2019, one of the most exhausting yet exhilarating experiences in my life. Enjoy

Good bump, I followed this as Suzzer went along. It's an interesting way to travel for sure. Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorland did the South America trip from the bottom up to Los Angeles on electric Harleys in 2019. It's part of their Long Way series that include "...Around" from London to NY from west to east and "...Down" that went along the coast of Africa on conventional motorcycles. Episodes are on Apple TV if anyone wants to check it out.

Good luck on your book Suzzer and keep us informed of future endeavors.

Yeah the original Long Way Round was one of my inspirations. I haven't watched the Pan-Am Highway one yet.

I was inspired by the first two series so much that I decided to do my own 4,800 mile motorcycle trip in 2017. I spent two weeks traveling through NE, IA, SD, WY, MT, ID, UT, NV, CA, AZ, NM, TX, OK, AR and MO. I did all of my driving on nice paved roads though, so I wasn't nearly as daring as they were (or as rich).

Props to you, Suzzer, for keeping track of your journey. I started a journal, but the entries got shorter as the days went by. I wish I would have done better.

Not many.
