Douro Valley Portugal: GPS wants a remake of Deliverance

CompassChaos13 is in Portugal! “It is what it is, Compass—it looks like a giant stone dick!” The ending a Portugal road trip as Chaos navigates the phallic megaliths of Evora and rescues a pair of walking tourists in a rental car that’s one sinkhole away from death.

In this episode, we’re auditing the Knights Templar stronghold of Tomar before descending into a real-life horror movie. When their 1990s Tom-Tom takes a wrong turn into a "ghost town," the team faces rainy switchbacks, "crack house" GPS fails, and white-knuckle hairpin turns in the pitch-black Douro Valley. From the Pagan symbols of Convento de Cristo to the luxury of Quinta Da Pacheca, discover why Portugal is best explored with a full tank of gas and a high tolerance for the unexpected.

Join us for a raw look at "Deliverance"-style night drives, family bed-sharing at 46, and the moment Compass finally demanded a cement mixer for the GPS. We wrap up with Heather’s "Immortality Theory" and a Pro-Vet breakdown on why "Adventure" is the only way to move from surviving to truly living.
