Sante Fe, New Mexico: Hello green chile
Leaving the Big Texan behind us, we headed for Santa Fe. We knew it would be better than Amarillo, we had already found no less than a haf-dozen Diners, Drive-ins and Dives recommendations nearby. If nothing else we will eat

Ending it all in Ensenada
Today we arrived in Ensenada. We bypassed it on our way south, but now we will spend our last three days here. We got to the RV resort and were pleasantly surprised. It is a lovely resort with a restaurant,

Retracing Our Steps North
Our RV caravan down the Baja is coming to a close. Our last stop is Ensenada, near the border, where we will spend our final few days, have a farewell dinner then head back to the good old US of

If it is Monday it must be Mulegé
It’s a short 85 miles from Loreto to Mulegé today. It’s a winding road through the peninsula and back to the Bay of Conception. The road hugs the shore. The beach camps are beautiful: El Requeson, Hotel and Playa Buenaventura,

San Javier Mission – Accomplished
Hubby was up at 5:30 to leave for his fishing trip. He never has a problem rising and shining when there are fish involved. I got up early also to do some work online before our trip up into the

Loreto, Better the Second Time Around
Filled with all the sights and sounds of Cabo San Lucas, it was time for the caravan to begin its return north. The return trip hits some of the spots we stopped at on the way down, but also adds

Escaping the Caravan, a Side Trip to La Ventana
We left at 7 am. We faced a 220-mile drive, so it would be a long day. Leaving Loreto, we hugged the coast before turning inland through some real pretty mountains. After a 15-minute break we drove an 80-mile stretch

Wasting Away in Margaritaville (actually, Loreto)
Finally, no 7 AM start. This has been one downside of traveling in a caravan. You have to go when they do. No deciding to walk the beach and get a later start, or to spend an extra day

Descending Devil’s Grade
It was dark and foggy as we lined up at 7 am to leave Guerrero Negro. These early starts don’t leave any time for our usual morning walks. Combine that with all the Mexican meals we are eating and

Autumn Leaves (and so do we)
As September fades into October, and as crisp, sunny, Autumn days turn into raw, harbinger’s of Winter, it is time for us to pack the RV and start to drift south. Our four months in New Hampshire and Maine have

Whale Watching in Guerrero Negro
Hubby prepared for today’s anticipated white-knuckle driving with half a Zanex. We left the boulders of Catavina, entered a small mountain pass and headed across a high mesa that is a remnant of a dry lakebed. The roads are 9.5

Tijuana Border Crossing
Our stay in Chula Vista was over. At 7 AM we lined up outside the Chula Vista RV Park with the other 19 RV’s in our caravan and started out for the Mexican border. It seems on the days we travel,

Joining a Caravan in Chula Vista California
Today we finally reached our interim destination, Chula Vista, California. It’s right on the Mexican border and is the gathering point for our caravan south down the Mexican Baja to Cabo San Lucas. No more snow or ice, just warm

A Travel Day: Sand Dunes, Time Zones and Margaritas
Another travel day. Today we drove west towards Yuma through miles of Arizona desert filled with saguaro cacti. As we learned at Saguaro National Park this is the only place they grow. So all those cowboy movies I watched in

The Stately Saguaro Tucson, Arizona
The road from Las Cruces to Tucson put us in higher elevations and we saw the remnants of the snow that closed the road two days ago. We enjoyed the alternating desert and mountain scenery. Tucson is in a valley

The Ice Storm Cometh. Las Cruces, New Mexico
Leaving Ft. Stockton, Texas the weather deteriorated. We were beginning to second guess making a late January RV trip west. As we neared El Paso and the New Mexico border it became dark and overcast, the mountains shrouded in clouds

Following the Straight and Narrow (roads) of West Texas
I do not usually drive the RV. I would in a pinch, but I prefer navigating, or enjoying the scenery, to wrestling against the buffeting forces of semi’s passing you at top speed, or the stress of anticipating who is

Northern Maine. It’s Not Bar Harbor, It’s Better
It’s just over two hours from our camp in Quebec to Jackman, Maine. Two hours but a world apart. Twenty miles over the border and we’ve traded French, urban, chic for North Woods back county. We arrived at our campground

Vive Quebec City…One of Our Favorites
Set high above the St. Lawrence River, Quebec City started as a fur trading port early in the 1600′s. Today, it has to be one of the world’s most beautiful cities. At least we would vote it one of the

Shabby or Classy? Campground Choices
Picking a campground is pretty straightforward. Traveling the Red Roads in our RV has landed us in hundreds of campgrounds. I can say with complete confidence that not all of them are created equally. Some campgrounds are spacious, well maintained
