One of the most fascinating and redeeming qualities of humans
is the capacity to maintain and indulge in playful curiosity. Most
of the best times in our lives are the result of dropping every-
thing to answer a simple question that starts with, I wonder.
Ask it often; play hard. #PlayHard

The sort of things on top of Mount Roraima are like nothing
I’ve seen before—endemic plants and animals that can only
be found on these incredible mountain tops. You can also
walk through canyons, rivers, caves, lakes, waterfalls, quartz
valleys, and fluorescent yellow freshwater pools like this one.
A true otherworldly paradise, right here on our planet.

Wandering through the ruins of this more than 1,000-year-
old village all by myself was such an amazing experience.
To stand in the empty houses where people lived 1,
years ago was unreal. Iran has such a rich history; it
would take months to explore it all.

De esos momentos que nunca olvidarás, creo que vivir se
trata de eso: de coleccionar instantes. Of those moments
that you will never forget, I believe that living is about that:
to collect instants.

In over five years of full-time overlanding in Cuthbert, we’ve
only come across two bridges that we were too scaredy-cat
to take his 5,900 kilograms over. Both were in Malawi (2014)
and both on the same day. This was the first. At first glance, it
looks fine, but what’s not so obvious from the picture is how
little structure there was under the bridge. You see that “health
and safety” stick with the red tape on the right? Under it was a
collapsing bank with nothing to support the bridge, plus a 12-
to 15-metre drop to a river below. The local guy in the photo
assured us that if we drove fast enough over the weak bit, it
would be fine. It was a 10-kilometre detour to a slightly stronger
bridge over the river. #NoBrainer

Overland travel does not always mean vacation and good
times—sometimes it is hard labor, like replacing a tire in the late
afternoon while it is 40°C. But that’s all a part of the journey.I just received my first issue of Overland
Journal today, and while I haven’t dug into
many stories yet, I must say this is an im-
pressive magazine. e photos are amazing.
ere are ads, but it doesn’t feel overrun with
them, [and the] paper quality is great. It’s a
compelling argument for print.Chad Kirchner

We love getting the Overland Journal; it’s a
fight to see who gets it first in the house. I
was thrilled to see Moraine Lake in there—
it’s one of our favourite places to take a
friend when they are in town. Disappointing
to see you give the credit to British Colum-
bia though, as Moraine Lake is in Alberta. e far side (unseen) of the mountains at
the back of the photo are in British Colum-
bia. e ridge is the boundary. So you were
close.JT Clark
2013 Ford F150 and Moby1 XTRFROM THE EDITOR Thank you for bringing this to
our attention. We were quite disappointed to find
that we corrected the province in the article
caption but missed it in the table of contents.OVERLANDER IN THE MAKING
Matthew is a huge fan of Overland Journal.
All day long, he brings me the journal and
says, “car!” He prefers [it to] any children’s
books that we have. anks for printing a
magazine that even kids can look at.Will and Katie PetersonPRINT ISNʼT DEAD
