The Pan-American Highway,
a dream or a nightmare?
During one year between June 2004 and May 2005 I had the
great opportunity to research the answer on the road from
Alaska to Argentinia.
I met the challenge and lived during these 10 months through
all ups and downs one can imagine; not only for the bike and
my equipment, but also for myself. And always there was need
for improvisation.
And I was rewarded with so much:
- with the people I had a chance to meet
- with untouched nature
- with experiences of quietness and loneliness and
- with new knowledge about cultures and habits
After riding more than 23000 miles on gravel and asphalt,
crossing rivers and mountains I got to the conclusion that
I was lucky to live my dream.
In this page I have summarized my experiences
of the tour and have posted some pictures
in the Gallery.
Yours
Rasmus Reuter
