Hello Videolibbers! I have a question from a patron that I'm not having much luck solving. I'm hoping one of you will remember this documentary and the title. Here is the story: A group of Florida neighbors decide to buy some Jeeps (possibly 6 or 7, including 1 Wagoneer) and drive from the far end of South America all the way to Alaska. They are successful and have few problems along the way. They use ramps and rafts to get their Jeeps across various canyons and rivers. The trip probably took place before the invasion of Panama, which happened in 1989. The patron thinks the documentary may have been shown on PBS or the History Channel.
Any takers? I have searched both the PBS and History Channel websites, and done a lot of keyword searching online. The trouble seems to be that in recent years, many people have undertaken Jeep trips of the Pan-American Highway, and they're crowding up my search results. Thanks! ----------------------------------- Nicholle Gerharter Reference Librarian Natrona County Public Library 307 E. 2nd St. Casper, WY 82601 307-237-4935 www.natronacountylibrary.org
VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
