We escaped the summer heat and humidity of Baja with a quick hour-and-a-half direct flight from Cabo to Guanajuato in the central Mexico highlands. The city was as colorful and beautiful as described. Our Airbnb apartment was perched up in the hills at almost 7,000 ft (2,100 meters) above sea level, about a half-mile (800-meter) […]

Solo in the camper: East Cape beaches and Rancho San Dionisio
In April Jaime flew back to Texas to help her Dad with some estate planning. The trip was extended when she stayed longer to help him with recovery from an injury. We had been wanting to get back to the East Cape and the weather was getting too warm for Jaime so I decided to […]
Traveling to Baja: RV Tips & Gear Checklist
We are back in Baja for our ninth season of RVing. I rarely blog anymore and away went the Winnebago as we now have a truck camper (our second). We get a lot of questions about coming down to Baja in a RV so I thought I would do a post on prepping for a […]
Touching Gray Whales
Seeing Gray Whales in Baja had been on our Baja bucket list but our timing never seemed to be right. This past February on our way back to Mulege we decided to stop at Puerto Adolfo Lopez Mateos and go on a tour. The road out from Ciudad Insurgentes had been recently repaved and was […]
Our Casita in Mulegé
After two years of dipping our toes into Mexico, we decided it was time to brave the rough roads and head further down into Baja. On our last trip to San Felipe, we had scouted part of the route in our Jeep and thought the Bago would be up to the challenge if we took it slow […]
Back to Baja – Nov. 2019
Tecate to Valle de Guadalupe We stayed in Valle de Guadalupe crossing from Tecate (post from last year on the border crossing) and visited wineries. Guadalupe to San Quentin Ensenada is pretty congested. The road climbs into some really green hills out of town. There was one construction zone but the dirt part was OK […]
Bahía Concepción
I had lured Jaime further south down into Baja with promises of white sand beaches we could camp on and calm waters to paddle our boards. Bahia Concepcion definitely lived up to the promise with its protected bays and 50 miles of beaches. We made numerous day trips from Mulege (a 20 minute or so […]
Hey, hey Mulegé
We had originally planned to pass through Mulegé (pronounced MooLaHey) and head for the beautiful beaches of Bahia Concepcion but after a few stressful days of driving the narrow roads of Baja, we opted to stay in an RV park outside of town recommended by friends. Hacienda de la Habana turned out to be a […]
Driving Down the Baja
We left Valle de Guadalupe and made our way through the busy port city of Ensenada. I don’t have any pictures of that part of the drive because we were too busy trying not to hit potholes and cars weaving in and out of traffic. Once we got out of the Ensenada suburbs, the drive […]
Valle De Guadalupe
We crossed the border through Tecate with a brief stop for a cursory inspection and then headed south to Baja’s wine country – Valle de Guadalupe. We stopped last spring on the way back to the US and fell in love with this spot. For $10 a night donation, we stayed at Rancho Sordo Mundo’s […]
