30 November, 2013 – Canada to Mexico in One Hour
Chris Sanderson, Michael Reichmann and Lula (Michael’s dog) drove last week from Toronto, Canada to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, a distance of 4,000 kilometers. We covered it in 40 hours, spread over four and half days of driving. We also filmed the entire trip with a dash-cam.
Since no one in their right mind would watch a forty hour video, we compressed it down to less than one hour. You can find it online here, if you’re crazy enough to watch it.
You can win an all-expenses paid photographic expedition to Antarctica, along with air fare from anywhere in the world. The value of this prize is $ 15,000.
The Luminous Landscape wants you to try any of our more than 60 training or travel videos and our new free video player. Each purchase is an entry, and an annual subscription that includes all previous as well as new videos counts as six entries. The winner of a free lifetime subscription is also chosen from each month’s entries.
