Day 289: August 20, 2024
ODO: 319,281 Today was a work day for everyone with lots of meetings. Luckily for us, this campground has very few bugs so we can have the windows open and the screens up. You would be surprised at how much airflow screens block. Our adventure for the day is moving from one camp spot to…

Day 282: August 13, 2024
ODO: 318,944 We spend the day getting in and out of the lake. In the morning it’s just lovely. By later afternoon it’s warm bathwater again. Between swims we do meetings and other work. We’re still recovering from our trip to Tulum, so we also try and drink a lot of water. We decide to…

Mainland Mexico Summary
Well, we did it…we got all the way through Mexico! Mexico is a gigantic country, just like the other two countries it shares North America with. Because of that size, it was a lot to offer. From delicious and sometimes sketchy regional food, to insane history you can interact with, to stunning geography, Mexico has…

Day 275: August 6,2024
ODO: 318,695 Berne woke up today feeling significantly better, so it was time to move out of this hotel. We didn’t want to just dump him back into the high heat and humidity of the jungle, so we found a different hotel that was located at a cenote. This turned out to be a great…

Day 268: July 30, 2024
ODO: 318,076 Our first stop today was an AutoZone…again. This time we were looking for an ignition switch, maybe that’s the source of our gremlin. We headed into Campeche, an historical town known for its fortified wall, which we somehow managed to completely miss. AutoZone didn’t have what we needed so instead sent us over…

Day 261, July 23 2024
ODO: 317,446 We spent our morning driving around town looking for water. Just about every town has a great purificada, but figuring out when things in Mexico are open or if they exist where Google says they do, is the hard part. All filled up, we headed out of town on the new highway, a…

Day 254: July 16, 2024
ODO: 316,599 It was time for a rest day. Yup, we need those from time to time. We woke up to the threat of rain, a small herd of sheep, two incredibly friendly dogs, and one crotchety donkey. Our steering wheel has been falling apart for months, so today was the day KoKo sewed up…

Day 247: July 9, 2024
ODO: 315,955 It was time to start our “leaving town resupply”: groceries, water (this time we had to flush our tank before we refilled it), and any other small errands. We couldn’t get started until mid day because KoKo had a meeting. That’s right, we’re still doing our bay area job, just at a much…

Day 240: July 2, 2024
ODO: 315,067 It’s been way too long since we put some miles on the ol’ Taco! It feels so good! We wrapped up our work in the Bay on a high note. Our project is in a good place and we will be continuing to support them remotely. And no more 12-14 hour days! But…

Day 233: June 25, 2024
ODO: 315,043 The rain had moved past Ensenada by the time we got to the edge of town. Unlike the racecar, we could choose our path through town so we headed to our hotel parking as quickly as possible. Parked, we all ran to the finish line, we didn’t want to miss a second of…
