Nancy, Jim, and Todd look really excited while waiting for their vehicles to be cleaned and detailed.

Jim and Nick look at what's left of $45 worth of car wash tokens. In the end, they had to turn to Land Rover to really clean the expedition vehicles.

Notes: We had a great time with our new friends at Land Rover Richmond (Ryan the owner, Rob, and John). They gave us a tour of their Adventure Center and service department, bought us a delicious lunch, schwagged us with Land Rover hats and T’s, hooked us up with some media, detailed our vehicles (Thanks, Ali), and then put us on the guest list for dinner at Doolin’s Irish Pub in Vancouver. Now, how’s that for hospitality?! Thank you Land Rover Richmond!
Tomorrow, we will re-enter the U.S. and have a reception at Land Rover Seattle. | ||
Help support our cause: The LONGITUDE Expedition is the longest journey ever attempted with a focus on Parkinson's Disease. The Drive Around the World team aims to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease research by driving four Certified, Pre-Owned Land Rover Discoverys around the globe following lines of longitude. Readers are encouraged to pledge small amounts of money per expedition-kilometer via a pledge form that can be found on our Parkinson’s page by clicking HERE. One hundred percent of donations received go directly to Parkinson's research, and all who donate $10 or more will be entered into a raffle to win an expedition-equipped Land Rover Discovery.
