Day 100: Feb 13, 2024
ODO: 309,272 We headed into Reno to do some chores. This past week had been our first sustained length of time in weather bad enough that we couldn’t (wouldn’t?) cook outside. This was a big discovery for us. We’ve spent many nights camping in bad weather, and have managed fine. It turns out we can…

Day 93: Feb 6, 2024
ODO: 308,808 Even though we had just completed several truck projects, we still had one more week of planned maintenance and upgrades to go…..Work that required a trip back to the US. We figured we could also use this time to see a few places we’ve always wanted to see, and catch up with some…

Day 86: Jan 30, 2024
ODO: 307,523 We came up with a plan: Head north and explore a canyon with a fumarole that opened up during the earthquake of April 2010, camp as needed. Before we headed out, it was time for a resupply. Since we dragged out feet in the morning, we decided to complete one more project before…

Day 79: Jan 23, 2024
ODO: 307,180 What better way to follow up so much adventure than with a week in one spot, finishing all of our major unfinished projects? Right? Sounds amazing! We set up our home in the back of our friend, the Metal Wizard’s house, and started making plans. We started with hooking up our solar panel.…

Day 72: Jan 16, 2024
ODO: 307,130 All resupplied up, we headed out to meet a friend and do some fishing for a couple of days. But first, into the desert for ADVENTURE!! We met somewhere south of Bahia de Los Angeles because we had a map to hidden cave paintings. It turned out not to be a map at…

Day 65: Jan 9, 2024
ODO: 306,618 We packed up and continued north heading from Rancho Conejo to Bahia de Concepción. We spent a night at Armenta before deciding to explore around the bottom and opposite side of the bay. Half way around the other side Berne started to feel under the weather, so we headed back to a campsite…

Day 58: Jan 2, 2024
ODO: 306,402 For Boxing Day, we relaxed on the beach and checked some things off of our to do list, mainly getting after a new drawing of the truck. Since we did a complete overhaul on the back of the truck this year, even though we love it, the original drawing of the truck just…

Day 51: Dec 26, 2023
ODO: 305,711 We resupplied in Cabo, on the way to Nine Palms, and picked up some tools for a house project. Turns out Nine Palms is a great little cove just outside Cabo. We were able to find a semi private spot on the water where we watched the biggest pod of Humpback whales feed,…

Day 44: Dec 19, 2023
ODO: 305,445 Now that we had a surfboard again, we decided to check out Cerritos for a few days, where we ran into our Canadian friends again. We spent our days being humbled by the surf, swimming, and watching whales jump. At night we sat around the mini solo stove swapping travel tips, stories, and…

Day 37: Dec 12, 2023
ODO: 305, 228 What do we do with our time if we don’t want to hang out on the beach? Two words: Cactus Sanctuary! This was an odd place. It was completely deserted when we arrived, made all the weirder because it shares a packing lot with a mausoleum. The sanctuary itself is a maze…
