Growing up in Oregon, the coast was a favorite destination for our families. And now that we full-time in our RV, we have made it a point to get back there in the summer and early fall when the weather can be ideal. The Oregon Coast is 363 miles long and all of its beautiful […]
Touching Gray Whales
Seeing Gray Whales in Baja had been on our Baja bucket list but our timing never seemed to be right. This past February on our way back to Mulege we decided to stop at Puerto Adolfo Lopez Mateos and go on a tour. The road out from Ciudad Insurgentes had been recently repaved and was […]
Our Casita in Mulegé
After two years of dipping our toes into Mexico, we decided it was time to brave the rough roads and head further down into Baja. On our last trip to San Felipe, we had scouted part of the route in our Jeep and thought the Bago would be up to the challenge if we took it slow […]
Back to Baja – Nov. 2019
Tecate to Valle de Guadalupe We stayed in Valle de Guadalupe crossing from Tecate (post from last year on the border crossing) and visited wineries. Guadalupe to San Quentin Ensenada is pretty congested. The road climbs into some really green hills out of town. There was one construction zone but the dirt part was OK […]
Converging in New Mexico
We met up with friends at Cochiti Lake near Santa Fe which was a really nice campground managed by the dam agency. We enjoyed some rig parties including a two-day birthday party that started with celebrating Becky Brusen’s birthday and then staying up into the wee hours to toast Scott Heinz. Too much fun. Instagram […]
Canyon de Chelly
Making our way back to the US we stayed at Desert Paradise in Yuma for a week to re-provision with trips to the massive supermarkets, Walmart, and delivery from Costco. Our next stop the Verde Valley RV Park in Cottonwood, AZ near Sedona, and the awesome red rock hiking trails. We were headed to New […]
Bahía Concepción
I had lured Jaime further south down into Baja with promises of white sand beaches we could camp on and calm waters to paddle our boards. Bahia Concepcion definitely lived up to the promise with its protected bays and 50 miles of beaches. We made numerous day trips from Mulege (a 20 minute or so […]
Hey, hey Mulegé
We had originally planned to pass through Mulegé (pronounced MooLaHey) and head for the beautiful beaches of Bahia Concepcion but after a few stressful days of driving the narrow roads of Baja, we opted to stay in an RV park outside of town recommended by friends. Hacienda de la Habana turned out to be a […]
Driving Down the Baja
We left Valle de Guadalupe and made our way through the busy port city of Ensenada. I don’t have any pictures of that part of the drive because we were too busy trying not to hit potholes and cars weaving in and out of traffic. Once we got out of the Ensenada suburbs, the drive […]
Valle De Guadalupe
We crossed the border through Tecate with a brief stop for a cursory inspection and then headed south to Baja’s wine country – Valle de Guadalupe. We stopped last spring on the way back to the US and fell in love with this spot. For $10 a night donation, we stayed at Rancho Sordo Mundo’s […]
