Puerto Vallarta

This post brings us way back to our New Years days in Puerto Vallarta… yes we are posting that far back.  Hate to admit it, but it is easier to process the hundreds of pics we shoot and it gives us time to digest our experiences.  This may not translate to good photo albums or [...]

Alamos and Basaseachic Falls

Edmundo, our Los Mochis host set us up with directions to drive around the Copper Canyon and some recommendations on places to visit. Our first destination was the small 17th century town of Alamos. The town is yet another Pueblo Magico and magical it is.  Alamos was once the center of commerce for the silver [...]

Los Mochis and Around

After Luis’ seasickness adventure on the La Paz-Topolobampo ferry we stayed in the first hotel we could find, had a good night’s sleep and woke up to drive to Los Mochis.  We were scheduled to meet Edmundo Fuentes in Los Mochis… but let’s take a few steps back and introduce Edmundo. Luis met Edmundo through [...]

Around the Tip of Baja Sur

We are having some technical difficulties with this post, here it is but it will be a little more “polished” when we get to a fast and cheap internet source in a few days… Thank you. From La Paz we headed south to Todos Santos, which we had heard is a neat little town on [...]

Bahia Concepcion en route to La Paz

The Bahia Concepcion is touted as having one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline on the Baja peninsula and this was part of the reason we wanted to get to Mulegé so bad. We stocked up on supplies in Mulegé and drove south in search of a good beach camping spot. We weren’t disappointed with the [...]

You Don’t Know if You Don’t Go… Scorpion Bay to Mulegé

When the sad time came to move on from San Juanico, we were evaluating which route we wanted to take out of town. There are a few different ways in and out of the area, with only one being easy (easy meaning: only a small amount of washboard). The only problem with this “easy” route [...]

San Juanico- Getting There is Part of the Adventure

We had heard about San Juanico- or some call it Scorpion Bay- from surfer friends back home. We were also ready for some Pacific coast beaches, so we decided to head that way.  There is a small dirt road that goes into San Juanico from San Ignacio, via the Laguna San Ignacio, so we asked [...]

On to San Ignacio, Baja California Sur

The wind was blowing so bad in San Francisquito, we decided to head out after one night. The plan was driving a dirt road out towards a place called El Arco, but there are many tracks going off the “main” dirt road, with no signs indicating which one was the road we wanted. In San [...]

Playa La Gringa and San Francisquito, Baja California Norte

We left Ensenada on the Mex 1 heading south to Bahia de los Angeles (BLA).  BLA is a long drive from Ensenada and our cardinal rule is no night driving so we didn’t really know how far or where we would stop for the night, so we just decided to drive and see how far [...]

Goodbye to the States, and Hello to Mexico

It is really weird to think about, but we finally feel like we have begun our trip even though we have been on the road nearly four months and more than 14,000 miles. We’ve had an amazing experience driving around the US and have visited so many beautiful places. We have finally gone south of [...]
