We hope you will join for this Photo Presentation by Patty Upton, who with her husband Loren, took one American-made vehicle, a 1966 CJ-5 Jeep, around the world on a north/south course, from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to Punta Arenas / Chile, Cape Agulhas, South Africa to Gamvik, Norway all on land except for crossing the Atlantic Ocean. This overland journey was over 56,000 miles and provided a lifetime of memories.
In grade school, Patty’s favorite toy was a world globe. She was fascinated with places like Karnack, Cairo, Timbuktu, Kashmir, Jerusalem, Machu Picchu, and countless more. Reading the stories of Livingston, Stanley, Burton, and the adventures of Osa and Martin Johnson fueled her imagination and her desire to travel.
We're honored to host Patty Upton and hear her tell the story of the Sand Ship Discovery, a 5-Year Jeep Expedition Around the World!
