(waterproof, and heavy but not too heavy). I thought it was a pretty clever use of old tires, which is why I took the picture. (but I'm just guessing) I'm hoping to make it to Peru and Bolivia later this year :) Good luck getting out of the US! Hey Matt,

Good luck getting out of the US!

Anyway, I have a question for you, do you know why they put tires over there roofs (see http://impressive.net/people/gerald/2007/01/13/07-53-47-sm.html)? They did the same in Peru and Bolivia but I forgot to ask why... Cheers, Matt Hi Ger,
