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,…

Day 128: March 12, 2024
ODO: 311,651 We woke up in our cozy hidden spot, packed up and headed towards La Paz. On our way we came across a couple of Dan’s (two friends named Dan!) that needed some assistance. They had had a tragic tire/wheel/hub failure on their little boat trailer, and were stranded on the side of the…

Day 121: March 5, 2024
ODO: 311,085 Whales, day 2! On the way out, all of us were feeling like maybe two days in a row was too much, or might be boring or something, but we were SO wrong! Day two was a whole different experience. We spent the morning being mobbed by whales. There were two to four…

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.…
