The plan was clear and simple (at least in theory).  Mark would ship the bike across to Newark, New Jersey, where he would then ride down to Jellico Tennessee and pick up an off-road trail called the Transamtrail. 

This trail would take him West through Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Nevada, finally finishing in Port Orford, Oregon. 

Once there, he would ride down to Las Vegas and meet Daisy off her plane. 

They would then head South, through Central America to Panama City.  From Panama, they would fly over the Darien Gap and Columbia to Quito in Ecuador and ride down the Andes to either Buenos Aires or Santiago.

The website can hopefully act as a means for family, friends and anybody else who is interested, to follow our progress down through the Americas. It will also mean we won´t need to bore people when we return with numerous stories starting with the infamously dull "When I was travelling...".
