The overlanding overlander community

At the moment we are travelling South to Ushuaia for Christmas. Lots of overlanders put this into their plan, it's the better time of the year to be going so far South, and it provides a chance to reunite with many of the other overlanders met on the journey. 

So, who do we meet? 

We don't meet a lot of other travellers, in fact aside from our week on Peninsula Valdes, we haven't met hardly any at all. 

Although families do travel in this style, I haven't met any yet. Mostly, the overlanders have been couples, and they've been French, German, Dutch, or Austrian. I haven't met anybody from Australia or NZ yet, nor from the USA; English has always been everybody else's second or third language. 

Mostly H and I are younger than the other overlanders, and many are travelling with big trucks (and big fuel bills). 

Many have shipped directly to Uruguay. 

I will attempt to make a list in order of meeting them:

C=couple; S=single. 

4=4wd, like landcruiser, patrol, defender, hilux, etc. 

6=larger vehicle, truck: MAN, Isuzu, Volvo, Mercedes lorry. 

P=travelled North and South America, Otherwise they've shipped into Uruguay. 

Rough age guesses given too. 

In Mallague:

C4, Dutch/French. 60's. 

C4, German. 30's. P

On road, Angostura:

C6, German. 30's. P

Peninsula Valdes:

C6, German. 50's. P

C6, Dutch. 50's. 

C6, Dutch. 60's. 

C4, Austrian. 50's/60's. P

S4, Austrian. 60's. P

C+1, 4, Dutch. Late 20's/early 30's

C6, German. 70's. 

Gaiman:

C4, French, 60's. 

Note there were more large vehicles on Peninsula Valdes, I think this is because you can sit and see plenty without driving... The smaller vehicles keep moving more readily.
