Sometimes our journey seems like it happened yesterday, some days it feels like it happened in a different lifetime. Memories can be triggered unexpectedly by smells, songs or the stories of others; or on purpose as we look over our photo and video collection. Occasionally, we challenge each other to name every place we stayed, but we never make it all the way through the list of 258 different cities, villages and campgrounds.
We started getting nostalgic for our trip before it was over. We wanted to make sure we remembered the everyday stuff, not just the pretty stuff, so we decided to take footage of one complete day on the road. The day that we recorded was Day 615. It occurred almost three years ago today. Little did we know just how awesome this day would be.
We have finally compacted that footage into a 24-minute movie, giving you a taste of a day-in-the-life of Our Odyssey Overland.
We hope you enjoy it!
PS: We’ve created a map of the day for those who want to follow along.

Our Odyssey Overland 
Our paths crossed at Mount St Helens as I was heading north toward Canada on my Bandit. My travels only took four months and 16,000 miles.
It’s a truely amazing journey you made and I echo lots of your thoughts and comments about how it felt during and after.
Hi Andy! You covered half the distance of our trip in a fraction of the time – it would have been an incredible ride! Hope you are planning another adventure soon.
Thanks for sharing your video!! You two our my idols. I was the campground host at Ohanapecosh CG in Mt. Rainier National Park. It was a pleasure meeting you two at the gas station in Packwood and suggesting you camp at Ohanapecosh to camp. I love when people have adventure in their lives and you two are the best at it. Good luck with what lies ahead!
