Hello from San Ignacio, Baja California Sur, Mexico. We found ourselves camping at Petate but this time was way muddier. The hurricane damage was obvious here. Still feels magical with all these palms but the mosquitos were so bad we could only handle one night here. The owner charged us […]
Hello from Guerrero Negro, Baja, Mexico! Before we settle down for a few days in town, we make sure we get a decent amount of groceries and purified water. We ended up back at Mallarimo Hotel and RV Park once again. Here is an old blog post from our stay […]
Hello from Bahia De Los Angeles in Baja California, Mexico! We ended up wild camping at La Gringa for a couple of nights. Everyone is so nicely spaced out here. We met up with our new traveling friends here, Andrew and Courtney of @tsavo_touring. They are making their way down […]
Hola from Gonzaga Bay! We spent a couple of nights here this time through Baja. The first night here was pretty crowded since we arrived on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. But on Sunday night we were just about all alone here. Most of the original round palapas were destroyed by […]
On November 22, 2022, we began our drive down the Pan-American Highway! I had to wake up the cat for our obligatory family photo to commemorate the special occasion. They were pissed but fell back asleep within seconds of saying cheese. The border crossing was uneventful. A quick passport and […]
The weekends here in Baja for us have been my favorites. There is no need for internet for the work week so we get to explore so many more places. For the next couple nights, we found a sweet spot at El Conejo. We actually got here later than we […]
(No, you are NOT seeing things. The blog is back baby! We are over a year behind but that doesn’t matter. Memories are memories. We are catching up on the blog and the YouTube vlog and everything else too. Thanks for still following along!)
After the craaaazy drive out of Puerto Agua Verde, we needed to settle into a spot and take a break from dirt roads for the week, plus there is something called a J-O-B that needs to done Monday thru Friday.
While camped in Loreto, we met a family from Northern California that told us about this dirt road that will take us to a slice of paradise in Baja that most people do not visit. The dirt road is treacherous, they said. The mountains will be like if Sedona met the sea, they said. To get to the road to Puerto Agua Verde, turn left when you see a mule tied to a cactus, they said.
First rule of driving in Baja is don’t drive at night. The reason behind that rule is not banditos, but livestock which might be taking a nap on the warm asphalt. But livestock doesn’t only need to be minded in the dark because there is danger even during the day. As we were leaving Bahia de Concepcion heading south towards Loreto, we had to gently slam on our brakes to avoid colliding with these wandering goats.
Dan got to take a week of work off so we could enjoy the internet-less beaches of middle Baja and tonight marks the last night of this type of living before we have to flee to the next portion of Baja with cell reception. Our last night of “vacation” was spent on a tiny beach called Playa Perla, which is part of Bahia de Conception.
After leaving Mulegé, we entered a stretch of coastline along Bahia de Concepcion. It is famous for the calm and brilliantly colored water. With no cell service or wifi in most spots, we squeezed in 3 nights over the weekend.
The next stop on the Baja Express is to the town of Mulege. Instead of camping near town, we chose to be outside of town a bit at a campground surrounded by orange groves called Ray’s RV Park and Resort. And look who it is again, Tim and Kerri in Big Blue. This photo makes me giggle. We all ditched our Airstreams for a bit for a Baja adventure. I’m sure we will all be back in our Airsteams sometime in the future, but for now we are enjoying our time in this orange grove in the desert.
