Without support and armed only with a toolbox, a bag of electrical adapters, and their wits, author Randy Denmon and his friend Dean trudge on through jungles, deserts, volcanoes, rivers, and crater-sized potholes, all the while trying to avoid the drug cartels and corrupt border guards that could mean a quick end to their adventure . . . and their lives. Through it all, the same enormous problem loomed daily: how to charge the car in such a primitive and desolate setting? Despite the numerous setbacks, Randy never lost his sense of humor. Off the Grid is as much a spiritual journey as a physical one about two guys who dropped everything for one grand twenty-first-century adventuretraveling back in time in a car that seemed to come from the future."--Publisher's description. 600 10 $a Denmon, Randy $x Travel $z Mexico. 600 10 $a Denmon, Randy $x Travel $z Central America. 650 0 $a Electric automobiles. 651 0 $a Mexico $x Description and travel. 651 0 $a Central America $x Description and travel. 941 $a 3 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409025454.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508022350.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20170722010822.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F40B1844347C11E78DAB1C93DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
