For our last stop in Baja we headed to the beautiful Valle de Guadalupe from San Felipe. Highway 3 was a little rough in the desert but the bigger potholes were patched and passable. Once we got closer to Ensenada the last section of the highway was pretty twisty with cars passing you on blind […]

Baja Adventuring
Since we decided to come back to San Felipe and not continue further south, I wanted to explore more of the area around here. My cousin Gordy had shown me a copy of his “Baja Adventure Book” back in the early 90’s in Oregon on his way home from another one of his Baja adventures. […]
2018 San Felipe 250 Race
This was our 2nd San Felipe 250 race. Last year we received an off-road racing education when the Bevly-Wilson team stayed next to us at Victor’s RV park. We came back and the team returned also. Our spot was across the park this year so we didn’t get to experience The Bago rocking when they […]
Bahia San Luis Gonzaga
Last year we spent a month in San Felipe, Baja California on the Sea of Cortez in our The Bago. San Felipe is about two hours from El Centro, California and an easy drive to shrimp tacos, sand, and the sea. We called this first RVing trip into Mexico “Baja Lite”. This year we were […]
San Felipe 250 Race
When we came down to San Felipe, the plan was to only stay for two weeks. The big San Felipe 250 off-road race, and ensuing madness, was coming to town so we needed to hit the road before. But then Lily at Victor’s RV Park let us know we could keep our spot and stay […]
San Felipe, Baja Mexico
We went down for two weeks of sun, sand, and fun with our Xscapers friends Denny and Veronica from RV Outlawz in San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico. Really nice weather and great company. The drive down was an easy 120 miles or so from El Centro, California. Here’s a video of our waterfront site from Denny. Not […]
Wrapping up Mexico
Yesterday we left Oaxaca on a relatively short bus hop over to Veracruz. The scenery coming down the mountains was pretty spectacular. At one point the area reminded me of Yosemite with massive granite mountains and valleys except there were huge 6-8 foot tall cacti. We are getting ready to leave Veracruz on a 2:30p […]
Really, Really Old Stuff
Jaime and I have been getting our culture on for the past two days. Yesterday was a trip to Monte Alban ruins and today we went to the Centro Cultural Santo Domingo. The older gringos staying in our B&B love to discuss Oaxacan culture in excruciating detail. One lady was a bit taken a back […]
Oaxaca, Mexico
We are here in Oaxaca, Mexico after a 12 hour overnight bus ride from San Cristobal de las Casas. Not too much to report as we are still a bit fried and just had a couple of hours to wander around as our room was being prepared. Looks like a nice place. http://lasbugambilias.com/ Holy crap!!! […]
Back in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Mexico
We left Antigua, Guatemala at 4:30am yesterday and arrived in San Cristóbal around 4p yesterday. Jaime had a rough time of it but is recovering nicely here at the Sol y Luna B&B. Great place to relax and enjoy the orchid gardens. Here’s some quick snaps –
