Produktbeschreibung
It's time for an adventure, and you are invited to travel the world with the author as he sets off in a 1950 Willy Overland (Jeep) four-wheel drive station wagon painted Allis-Chalmers orange with John Deere yellow wheels. He called her Nellie while traveling in Alaska, and had been with her across every state in the union except Hawaii. Now Stanley and Nellie were setting off to circle the globe. This is your chance to ride shotgun alongside Stanley, as he travels by land. Stanley was stopped just prior to entering Afghanistan. Not to be deterred from completing his travels, Stanley abandoned his truck in Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic. Years later Stanley determined it was time to finish circling the world by land and returned years later with an old Harley Davidson motorcycle. Over the course of three decades, Stanley Sieja, Jr. has completed solo journeys around the world by air, land, and sea without sponsorship.
