"El Ovala Azul" Ford of Argentina online magazine did a feature on the Wanderwell expeditions!


read the book for yourself! http://www.amazon.com/Aloha-Wanderwell-Call-Adventure-Automobile/dp/1484118804/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1441565401&sr=8-1&keywords=wanderwell&pebp=1441565389272&perid=14CN2WCJHYHM5XSKT7N8

or catch the condensed version http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/07/wanderwell-expedition-with-car-and.html  of what happened when a 16 year old girl went out to adventure around the world as the first woman to drive around the globe!


Richard (Aloha's grandson) let me know about this a while ago, but for some reason that online magazine didn't have these two pages displaying
