In spring time animals become more active.
It is called the rutting season.
They feel the urge to multiply.
Becoming restless they want to find a mate, make a nest and have offspring.
Over the last years travelling has been constant.
Never staying long in one place.
But now, since early October, the Fuso Szulc is based in the dry riverbed of Punta Boca del Salado, Baja California, Mexico.
Almost 4 months in one place!
An incredible fact not seen for a long time.
However, more and more it starts to feel like landing in the rutting season.
On March 31 is a flight from Los Angeles to Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Therefore, in about 7 weeks the journey will start to drive the Fuso Szulc from Punta Boca del Salado, Mexico, to San Diego, USA.
To leave the expedition vehicle there and spend one or two months in Europe.
But the rutting in the season is most of all becoming tantalising because of this:
It is a Mercedes Benz Unimog U 1550 that is made into an expedition vehicle by the famous German company Unicat.
The rut now is to have the Fuso Szulc adopted by an American affectionado of expedition vehicles and to get this Unimog Unicat instead.
This is a rather complex manoeuvre that creates tremendous excitement.
Especially because it confronts with many unknowns.
No way of knowing where this will end…
As a consequence, it is a very educational experience.
And it will not bring the permanent pilgrim where he himself possibly wants to go.
It is the process that decides the route and destination.
