Me and my friend are planning to drive from the UP in Michigan all the way down to South America in the Andes Range the summer after we graduate to do some alpine touring and some charity work before we start our careers as engineers.

We made a blog a couple days ago and will be continuing to update it on our plans and anything else that is related to our trip

if you have time, check it out. Feel free to comment on anything on here or on the blog. Any ideas for the trip or charity work would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the heads up. We've found some ways to ship our car so we can avoid the gap.

We're spending the next 3 years saving up. Also, I am doing co-ops with a couple companies and will have my loans paid off before I graduate
