We decided to cross into Baja via Tecate this year. The previous two years, we crossed in Mexicali, but came back up through Tecate last year and decided since we weren’t going down Hwy 5 after seeing reports of massive storm damage, in addition to the who the heck knows when it will ever be […]
Mexico
Algodones
We did a quick day trip down to Algodones, Mexico. I think the town exists for the sole purpose of providing cheap dentistry, drugs, optical, and booze to visiting gringo snowbirds staying in the Yuma area. We picked up our 120 day FMM tourist cards in preparation for our Baja trip next month. Our next […]
Flying vs. RVing to Mexico
We compare two vacations to Mexico in our RV and flying in this blog post for Winnebago . You can find all our Mexico posts here.
Valle de Guadalupe, Baja Wine Country
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 […]
