Puerto San Carlos

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...

Entering Blaja

After only  single night in heaven, we spent a whole work-week in Loreto in the tiniest of RV parks, packed in like sardines, and dreaming of getting back out of town and too the beaches. This town of 14,000 souls just wreaked of most things you want to get away...

Bahía Concepción – Playa Santispac

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...

Mulege part 2

After leaving the zombies and oranges, we moved to the only campground within walking distance of the town for a single night of exploring Historic Mulege. Huerta Don Chano Campground served us well. At first we took up a normal pull-through RV site with electricity, but after surveying the tent...

Attempted killings and zombies near Mulege

A weekend in San Ignacio

Continuing South from Guerrero Negro, we ran into the small village of San Ignacio not far off the main highway. San Ignacio has a very picturesque central square (not that I took a photo of it) where nearly all the restaurants and shops are, along with a Catholic Church from...

Baja Sur

Before arriving in Guerrero Negro, to meet back up with the Mali.Mish and Wandrly families, we had heard that there was some problem for one of the two vehicles during that 25 mile span of poor dirt road. As it turned out, the VW bus decided to stop working on...

Shipwrecked in Bahia de Los Angeles

We had heard stories of the road leading south of San Felipe. The final 25 miles of HWY5 before reconnecting to MEX1 had not yet been paved and was under construction. Knowing that this meant a whole different thing then in America, I was not expecting any comfort on that...

Goodbye San Felipe

Well, that is it for San Felipe… for this trip at least. We camped on the beach for a week, explored numerous places to eat in town, and basically just beach bummed around for most of the time. I even tried my first few seafood tacos while here; Shrimp (not...

Baja or bust

We left the Yuma area, early Sunday morning, to cross into Mexico and make the 120 mile drive to San Felipe on the eastern coast of the Baja peninsula. Everything went smoothly crossing the border other than the fact that we made four attempts at finding the right place to...
