Who says foolhardy endeavors are only for the young and stupid? We are Jason and Brian — mid-career professionals from North Carolina. As an analytic chemist and software engineer, we spend our lives dealing with numbers, logic and process surrounded by the comforts of modern life. It’s time to turn that shit upside down!

Join us as we attempt to maneuver an auto rickshaw (a glorified tricycle powered by a lawn mower engine) from Jaisalmer to Shillong — 1,700 miles in all — across the north of India.
