Our neighbors, a German couple, pulled in last night and boy do they have a nice rig.

They have a military spec Mercedes G Class SUV.  Formerly known as Geländewagen, ‘cross country vehicle’, but commonly called a G wagon.

They shipped their rig from the EU to Baltimore and made their way up here.  Next they’ll head south and are planning to drive the Baja.  Then on a ferry for Mexico and on down the coast.  Ambitious.  I love it.
