Stories and crazy shit that happens...On Golden Sand
We didn’t go far, just 70 km’s north of Cabo. We are now on the Pacific side of the peninsula, and since we made it to and out of Cabo, that means we are technically heading back north. This does not make me happy, I would rather stay south. As we departed out of...
Cabo in the Rearview Mirror
If I can sum up Cabo in any way, I would call it “Re-donkulous”. Its kind of like Las Vegas on Ocean steroids. That. is. it. We squatted here for 2 nights – we had planned to do a few activities, but after a bit of investigation, we determined that we couldn’t do what...
The Redneckest MacGyver of all MacGyvers
Before we left on this adventure, Todd was trying to think of pretty much everything that we might need for this trip. We have A LOT of extra parts like water pumps, two sewer hoses, other hoses, clamps, wires, you name it, we got it!. You all knew, we blew an...
Made it back to shore
Another adventure in the barrels area – a couple of hidden gems, we had heard about through other traveller/RV’ers and also listed as camping areas in the Baja Camping book that we use. Before we get to that though, we wanted to mention that… Life in an RV isn’t all...
Adventures in The Barrels
I’ve mentioned a few times, how much a 4WD vehicle is needed in Baja. We certainly don’t have one, but Cindy the Civic is getting her workout down here. We are basically treating her like a truck and so far, she’s been amazing! Pretty sure the struts are almost gone,...
The Barrels (Los Barriles)
We were excited to hang out here for a while, we had heard great things about Los Barriles and that there was lots to see and do (snorkel, kayak, kite boarding, bike ride, hiking, ec). Of course, we had to dump and fill – we did this at Baja Sunrise RV resort where...
Punta Arena
Did a road trip to Punta Arena, only about 30 minutes from La Ventana. This place was AMAZING! I think there were about 6 other people there. We tried a bit of snorkeling but didn’t see much for fish – a few puffer and some with pointy spines all over. I was glad I...
Gringo Ghetto in La Ventana
We have no real agenda for this trip other than, lets get to the hot spot for January and eventually make our way back north. When we were in Tecolote for a few days, we scouted out our next forward stop. We thought that La Ventana would be a good little village to...
Living on the Beach
After a few days boondocking, we thought it would be a good idea to regroup (this really means dump sewer, fill potable water tank and do laundry) at the Maranatha RV park just outside of La Paz. It was again, on a gravel parking lot – but they had a pool, which we...
Random Shit in Baja – you know we had to do this post
We’ve been in Baja for a little over 2 weeks now and we’ve collected some notes on completely weird, unusual and why does that happen? Stuff that just doesn’t make sense to us Canadians. Let’s start with the roads – again – I know, I talked about them and posted a...
Driving Videos
I promised some videos on roads - and i should have paid better attention or did better videos - bear with me, i'm still learning! road_not_done_yet[1] the bypass the goodhighway
Living the Dream
As per usual, up with the sunrise at 6:30, it was time to head to Loreto for a few days. Had heard good things about this little town and it wasn’t a long travel day, about 3 hours. About an hour into the drive, along the coastal highway, there is this amazing area...
Pushing South
Our first few days in Mexico on the Sea of Cortez has taken us through many sandy off roads that all head towards the beach BUT every single off road we came across led us to abandoned RV parks. We drove down to Camp Estrella – this was (at some point in time) and...
Literally dragging the Honda through Mexico
Before we headed out of Las Vegas, we needed to find an RV wash and get rid of all the salt and snow off Ruby. Can you believe it took us 4 days to find a self serve RV wash?! We finally found one in Henderson, NV and I hope you are all sitting down when I tell you it...
Viva Las Vegas New Years 2020
We had planned on staying in an RV park just off Freemont and walk over to the new years festivities, since it was only 2 blocks away. We started chatting about it and figured it would be a royal gong show, claustrophobic, noisy and this RV park was in a sketchy area...
