Third Thursday Talk - The Pan-American Highway

Not happy sitting at a desk, Dan decided to quit his job, buy a small Jeep and drive 64,000kms solo from Alaska to Argentina on the world's longest highway, the Pan-American. Starting with his old tent and sleeping bag, a cook stove and a few books and maps, Dan spoke zero Spanish and had only $10,000 in the bank. He really had no idea the adventure would take two years and cover everything from roasting marshmallows on lava to summiting a 20,000 ft. active volcano on the Equator.
Join Dan for an informal "photo night" with lots of stories and advice for your own adventure.

This online talk will take place over Zoom and is part of the Canadian Automotive Museum's Third Thursday lecture series. These online talks are free and open to the public, but registration is required. The Canadian Automotive Museum is a registered Canadian charity and a suggested donation of $10 goes toward covering the cost of hosting these virtual events. Donors who make an annual contribution of over $25 will receive a charitable tax receipt.
