Stories and crazy shit that happens...We carried on, differently, but the same
I have been completely uninspired over the last 4 months to post about anything or talk about what’s going on in the world between covid, and brown / black / all lives matter. Everyone has their opinion, but it doesn't mean that your opinion is right, including mine,...
F*&@ Off already, Mother Nature
Its been three weeks since we returned back to Canada, back to the 40 acres of family land. With the current covid situation and all its craziness, it doesn’t even feel like we were gone, let alone gone for 3 months. Was that just 3 weeks ago that we got back, it...
Baja, we loved you!
I think both Todd and me would tell you that we had zero expectations of Baja. For me, honestly, I was too busy working to even bother to google or investigate anything about Baja - where we were going or what we were doing. Todd never has expectations when he...
Next Time we will get Longer Health Insurance!
As the world continues to spiral through the insanity of Coronavirus, we carried on and kept calm in isolation with Ruby. Here is why we didn't feel it necessary to come home when they said they were closing the border: We live on a bus, usually in wide open spaces,...
Keep Calm and Carry on (you freakin’ f@#$tards)
After 4 days in the San Diego area, we headed a few hours north, up the road to Orange County and stayed at the O’Neill campground. This was actually a fabulous place – for $20, they had water (not quite available at each site, but we for whatever reason, we had 2...
Squeezing the last bit of wintersummer out
Crossing the border at Tecate, MX was interesting, it wasn’t well marked (shocking!) and we noticed “the wall” before we noticed where we were supposed to go in lineup for border crossing. US Border patrol only sent agriculture guys on board to check out our food...
Two thumbs up for Baja winery tours!
Before we headed out on wine tours, we had to find an RV park to dump/fill. It was a bit crazy on MEX 1, just north of Ensanada, with traffic and such, but we were hoping to get to the Ramona RV park. We were driving along, and realized there was no left turn off for...
Ensanada, big city but we still like you
Our last stop in Baja was Ensanada. From some RV’ers, its their first stop, since its so close to the Us border. As part of our adventure, we wanted to travel the entire Baja, and as hard as it was to come over to the colder west / pacific ocean side, we knew we had...
How are we at 9 already?
Anytime you plan a trip, it seems like it takes forever to get to your departure date, but the trip goes by in the blink, and all of a sudden its over. It took us a year to plan for this 13 week adventure, how are we already at 9 weeks on the road already! How is that...
Whale Watching
I’m sure I’ve mentioned in another blogpost how we don’t like taking paid tours – usually we find out where the tours go, and then do our own self tour BUT in the case of whale watching, we were forced to go on a tour. Todd & I have both been on whale watching...
Can you pass the salt?
We made it out of Santa Rosalia on the “Grade to Hell” highway, at the mock chicken speed of 10 MPH! It was the perfect travel day, overcast and cold (only 20C). Guerrero Negro was THE place to do whale watching and so that was our destination. We pulled into Mario’s...
Where Mexico Meets France
A quick 48-hour stopover in Santa Rosalia, as we continue to head northerly. We drove through this city on the way down and thought it was a bit of a shithole, but wanted to give it a second chance. We were pleasantly surprised by its history and all the amazing sites...
Million Dollar Beach
About a month ago, on our way down south, we drove past an area south of Muleje called Bahia de Concepcion (in the Living the Dream episode: https://www.wheelsonthebus.ca/living-the-dream/) and purposely did not stop, because we wanted to leave some longer term beach...
Our Most Boring Adventure
Left Cerritos / Todos Santos area and headed towards La Paz – which was the main hub for refilling empty propane (with butane - 2 – 30 lb cylinders filled for $31), diesel for the bus and big grocery purchase, so we could boondock again for a week or so. It was sad to...
Life in Baja
We are exactly at the halfway point in our Baja adventure (insert tears!) and over the past 6 ½ weeks we have a way better understanding of this life than we did, our first week in. Here's what we know now: Never refer to Baja as “The Baja”, its just Baja RV’ers There...
