Kerri needed to fly out of Denver for the weekend so back to Colorado we went. I got to hang out with my son for a few unscheduled days while camping at the local Fairgrounds in town. It is not the coolest place to camp, but it would keep me...
We nearly had to pass by Badlands National Park in central South Dakota, but as luck would have it (what does that saying even mean?) we had made the trip out no matter the hell-on-earth-heat that was rolling through South Dakota. Actually, we took numerous trips into the park over...
The original plan was to stay two weeks in the Zion National Park area, but family issues in Colorado have somewhat expedited our arrival. Although not super urgent, that need may arise at any moment, so a closer proximity to Colorado led us to take off a week early and...
It was the perfect plan I tell you. We were going to spend one more week in the van upon arriving back in the USA. A week in Joshua Tree National Park, and surrounding area, before moving back into the Airstream. The kink in the plan was this week’s spring...
The great push North is nearly over. Within striking distance of the American border we come upon the Ensenada area, which was going to be our entry into Baja back in January, but now it is our exit. Before making our way all the way into the metro area, we...
The time has come for us to start heading North, and I must admit that I am happy about it. Surely, Baja has been great (at least parts of it), but I can only take so much desert-camping and beaches, you know. The call of mountains and trees are strong...
In a flurry of discussion the decision was made. We would skip La Paz on our Southern route and instead visit it when we head North. I mean, we have to pass through it again no matter what, so why not? This, in turn, freed us up to drive the...
With the weekend comes the time to get out of town and back into the places we came to Baja for. Enter El Conejo, a nothing place (barely even on the map) located 10 miles off the main highway and down a washboard and sandy road. So when Kerri said...
We bolted from Loreto on the East coast of Baja and, within no time at all, arrived on the West coast. Although Puerto San Carlos was never really on our agenda, the thought of spending a work-week in Ciudad Constitucion, 20 miles inland, did not sit well. It sat so...
We had a single night we could spend off-net, and the timing could not have been better with Palya Santispac just 15 miles south of Mulege. Here we were able to camp directly on the beach of clear waters and leave the van doors propped open for the entire night...
