    🇲🇽 Todos Santos, Mexico

    La Paz

    7. februar, Mexico ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    Saying goodbyes to this wonderful isthmus and we're on our way. Refueling stop at Wal Mart. It's quite different from the American Walmarts mostly it's stocked with Mexican goods which makes sense. Found a great apartment to do laundry while going on the town for a nice dinner, where a starting presentation is happening for a race.Læs mere

  • Punta Puerto

    6. februar, Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Mellow morning with coffee looking at the pelicans fishing in the bay. Went for a long sup a couple of bays over. Nap in the hammock and tried to read a little bit of my book. Variety of vehicles to check out, so many ways to overland. Hiked the rocky coves to get to town. Dinner at the restaurant again, it's the lifestyle.Læs mere

  • Waterfall run hike

    6. februar, Mexico ⋅ 🌙 20 °C

    Following the arroyo into the mountain range, ran from camp into town and to a dry waterfall. Beautiful landscapes. Lunch on the beach, fish tacos are always great in Mexico. Swim in the afternoon. Dinner in camp, starting to pack as the road calls again.Læs mere

  • Aqua Verde

    3. februar, Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Drove two hours to get here, crazy road cut into steep rocky walls. Super cool beach on an isthmus. Getting SUPs out, no tail fin but who cares. Hikes and talked with others, Michael and Paula who are overlanding here as well. Quite the scene here for hanging out over an hour from the beaten track.Læs mere

  • San Javier

    2. februar, Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

    Beautiful drive to San Javier and bike ride in the back valleys. Perfect blue bird day without wind. Great suggestion by Bill, a retired old camper adventurer who knows Baja well.

    Back in town get showers, nice day overall and we helped a boy fix his tire. The karma works and we get a tip for a hardware store and they turn out to have everything we need. All of a sudden were back in business and tomorrow we head further south.

    Excellent shrimp dinner by moon light.

  • Loreto

    1. februar, Mexico ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    A bit of a surprise after packing up, which seems to take longer than it should and much longer in this camper versus a van. The clasp on one of the corners came off while driving. Things are breaking. Later found out that the bike locks are left behind and lost, there is a new scratch on the Toyota, stuck in Loreto on a Sunday and Monday is a national holiday. Nothing is going to get fixed. Mood suffers. The town parties because of the holiday and loud music is played all night long as we picked a terrible spot to camp. I guess one of those days.Læs mere

  • San Nicolas bike ride

    31. januar, Mexico ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    Drove down to a dirt road, that gave us a good distance for riding about 23 miles with elevation changes. Another day of hanging out at Bahia Concepcion in the afternoon, making dinner and planning for tomorrow. First fairly big city in a while.Læs mere

  • San Ignacio & Mulegé

    29. januar, Mexico ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Woke up in a hotel of all places, got a hot shower which was way overdue and charged up the power system battery because it has been cloudy and the truck engine battery charging is still not working. Greeted by a Mexican military truck in the parking lot in the morning. Drove to San Ignacio which is a small town with a nice church and town square laid out in the typical Spanish fashion. Went for a short hike before driving back to the Sea of Cortez. Hard to find a sandy beach to camp on, all of them were paid official camping and crowded. But found a rocky quiet spot with a few other Overlander trucks.Læs mere

  • Mexico entry to Baja

    26. januar, Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Crossed the border at algodones, and while we expect it a long line at the border it was completely deserted and we drove right through, as a matter of fact it was so early that the FMM paperwork could not get be completed and we had to get a cup of coffee first.

    We drove down to San Felipe in about 3 hours and have lunch there. We had a challenge with the power unit that we expected to charge while driving but it was not working. So we found the restaurant that had an outlet that we could hook into and at least get a full charge for the first day. We also got Wi-Fi so I could get an eSIM card going, not that there is much cell service in Baja.

    In the afternoon we drove down to Bahia de Los Angeles and set up camp just as it was getting dark right along the sea of Cortez.

    We had our first dinner inside the Tune at the table. I have to admit that I get to enjoy my handy work.

  • Finally on the way

    25. januar, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

    It takes an hour and a half longer than expected to get out the door but by noon we are finally setting out towards Baja.

    We find an adventure along the road which consists of climbing kid peak on the abandoned old road which has turned into a bit of a overgrown single track.

    We make it to the ridge from where we could see one of the many observatories that are up there.

    The sign by the road said that the road would close at 4:00 p.m. so we actually ran down this climb which took an hour and 5 minutes up 45 down. Only to find out that people were driving up the road at 4:00 p.m. in order to go to the evening program at the observatories and so obviously that road was not being closed, but the workout was great.
