Great Jeep adventure story spanning decades!

"Despite driving 56,000 miles down two continents and up two others in the same Jeep, a single ferry trip negated Loren Upton’s dream of driving the entire route over land. Nearly 30 years later, Upton’s family has started raising funds to restore that Jeep and send him to Israel to achieve his goal."

Cool story. The dedication to try and accomplish his goal is impressive. The financial resources and the time it must take to take to drive that many miles has my respect. Plus I learned something new (never heard of the Darien gap before).
