Blogs
so, when a new club, casino or restaurant opens up, they often have a soft opening to work out all the bugs before the grand opening. consider this the soft-launch for roadsunknown.com. if you ended up here, you are one of the few people we really really want to be a part of these experiences. so use this blog as an opportunity to help us "debug" any issues with the site before it goes out to the masses...just leave us a comment on blogger and we'll take it from there...thanks!

The first W. Jason and Brendon. Brendon and Jason. But it doesn't stop there. Hopefully there will be many along the way. Who? Whoever. you wanna drop in while we trudge the jungles of the Amazon? You wanna swim off the coast of Cuba? You wanna chicken bus it across Guatemala? You wanna pick your journey along our way? It's completely up to you. anyone insane enough to join us for anymore than a day of traveling is asking for trouble, but with that comes the experience you make out of it.
