> his son has never seen a white person before

I drove a 4x4 right around Africa from mid 2016 to mid 2019.

It was quite common in West Africa to drive into a village where the kids would run away terrified and the adults would explain the kids had never seen a white person before, and they thought I was a ghost.

I drove across an international border where the border guard had been working for 3 years and had never seen a foreigner.

It's fun getting off the map.



Hey, the jeep guy!

There was a guy who rode a motorcycle from San Francisco to Barrow AL about 2014. His and your blogging were the source of some fun what-if dreams of mine back then.
