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

Backtracking to Santispac

We don’t usually backtrack, but we had been unable to get into Santispac for some beach camping on our way north from Cabo  so we went to Mulegé first. There is a caravan that is leaving Santispac by 9 AM,

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

Everything is “Almost Free” in Cabo San Lucas

It’s only 100 miles today from La Paz to our end destination, Cabo San Lucas. We passed through the usual inland terrain of hills and farms; at Todos Santos we moved back to hug the coast. We did not stop

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

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

Caravaning to Catavina

Day two. At seven AM, wiping the sleep from our eyes and clutching our morning coffee, we were lined up with 20 other RVs  ready to hit the road and leave Colonia Vincente Guerro behind us. We had been promised
