Word From the Amazon
Hello Everyone -
I know there is a lot of curiosity as to where the Amazon 5000 expedition is - and how things are going. First off - the expedition crew is doing well and making progress towards their destination. We have had to stop sending updates as to their location because of the many pirates that have been targeting their location. Each time we have sent messages that can help pinpoint their location - they have been found and robbed. They have lost most of their equipment - and also most of the one thing they need most right now - batteries.
Luckily they have run into some friendly tourists that have helped them out with various supplies including batteries. The team has had to stick with travel mostly through the jungle and avoiding roads simply to ensure their own safety and not become a target. It is not easy getting news out of the jungle as communication is limited and the group is traveling through "unconventional" routes to avoid being raided. We'll try to let everyone know how it is going.
