Part III of our spotlight on pre-running continues now: After getting stuck in the Helltrain several times, we developed a bit of a technique to getting out.

ODO: 315,043 In case you were curious, we’re still running 10+ hour days, and the weather is just lovely. Part II Of our spotlight on pre-running continues now: We do not pre-run fast.

Day 170: April 23, 2024
ODO: 315,043 We woke up to a handful of cars parked near us. It turns out we had camped at the top of a set of stairs to a fairly popular secluded beach. We didn’t make it down onto the beach because there always seemed to be between one and seven dogs running around down…

Day 163: April 16
ODO: 314,756 We got packed up, and now it was time to start exploring Mexico! Like all of Mexico, not just the pretty beaches. But first, we rescued a very shiny Tahoe. You know how much we love helping stuck vehicles. This one belonged to a nice family down from Texas to look at beachfront…

Day 156: April 9, 2024
ODO: 314,035 This morning we were off to San Ignacio, and our only hotel night. We stayed in the Hotel La Huerta, which had the most amazing showers (hot hot and lots of water pressure), had a decent bar, and was a three minute walk to town. Speaking of town, we walked to dinner at…

Day 149: April 2, 2024
ODO: 313,372 Still in git ‘er done mode, we moved onto running a bypass relay for our light bar so we stop melting the fuse for it, a nagging problem we’ve had for some time. We had a small moment of panic testing our bypass install. The light bar along with everything else on the…

Day 142: March 26, 2024
ODO: 312,868 With nowhere to be, we decided to have a slow morning and take care of some business, namely the tent latches. We contacted the US Alu-cab distributors and they were able to get a set in the mail for us same day. Next up, we had a pair of shoes that needed a…

Day 135: March 19, 2024
ODO: 312,410 It was time to say goodbye to our favorite beach, so after one more chilly swim, we got back on the road heading for a concert at Buenaventura. Our experience with concerts in Baja is that they start way earlier than advertised, and this one was no different. The band: The Soulfire Project,…
