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...

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...

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...

Attempted killings and zombies near Mulege
As we entered town of Mulege, “Barbara” (Kerri’s Garmin GPS which she insisted on bringing even though it can’t speak a lick of Spanish) told us, in that monotone synthetic yet somehow demeaning voice,...

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....

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...

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...

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...

10 miles of dirt pays off
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...

The kite surfing side of the family
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?...

Hot days in Todos Santos
Now that we are in (or near) the tropics, the heat laid it on thick and Kerri’s ability to do anything came to a staggering halt. Eventually she just laying in the van until the sun began to set. Late...

No shirts, no shoes, no duh
To escape the heat of camping in a town, we headed a few miles south of Todos Santos to San Pedrito Beach where we could camp for free and enjoy the ocean breeze. (Location added to my boondocking...

The cost of a month in Baja
It has been a while since I did a “cost of” post detailing the finances of living a minimalist and nomadic life. Since we crossed the border deep into the month of January, I held off until February as...

Who needs a shower anyway
When we arrived at Cabo Pulmo, we arrived freshly showered. Or, at least we got to shower within the past 24 hours of that day, which is pretty freshly showered by our definition. We spent a week in...

The push North
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,...

More pushing North
The push North continues, making the 200+ mile drive from Mulege to Guerrero Negro, where we over-nighted after a full day or driving. This gave Kerri the perfect excuse to revisit her favorite fish...
