The Migration
Life is comical….as I’m sweating struggling to make the tiny twin bed in our not walk around bedspace. A job that I often didn’t enjoy just for the difficulty of trying to wedge the too large bedsheet on the bed when there’s just no room for any of it. I think that this may be…

The Last Time Around
As we begin our inevitable trip north back to Canada we are met with excitement and sadness. Sadness not at missed opportunity, I think we have experienced Baja. But sadness to be away from such a beautiful culture. Sadness to not be immersed in a language that feels we are finally started to grasp…kinda. Sadness…

Mountains and Surf
As the Zopilote ~ turkey vulture seem to endlessly glide high overhead providing this calm resiliency in the desert air. We watch from the shade of our camper out on the sea many mom and calf humpback pairs spouting and breaching, tail flapping and pectoral fin splashing. It seems as if they are equally enjoying…

Settling into the Wild
Crossing across the southern peninsula and getting some glimpses of the Pacific ocean again. Highway 19 is a fairly new highway making access to Todos Santos easier. I have been looking forward to exploring this area. Todos Santos has been obviously touched by tourism and expats. However there is a laid back surfer vibe mixed…

The Expected and Unexpected of Baja
Have I mentioned the difficulty navigating the roads in Mexico. I knew there would be challenges with this type of travel. I never thought that the roads, both quality of the infrastructure and rules of the road would be one of the bigger challenges. Coming off the main highway through Baja (Mex 1) we arrive…

Baja California Norte
Bienvenidos a Mexico Our night at the motel in El Centro U.S was what it was. A place to do some errands before we crossed the border. A place to hopefully get a good night’s rest. . The motel had an unheated pool. After the sun set we went for a cold plunge. It was…

Wild and Wonderful Mojave Desert
On days where we are travelling 3-4 hours we try to start early and use every tool in our parenting tool kit to keep Olive occupied while we drive. Our last resort is a portable dvd player that we keep until the last leg of the trip. We have some favorite songs that she likes…I…

Settling Into The Familiar
The familiar joys and challenges that come with long term camp travel have settled in as we are opening into coastal life. The coast is WET, no surprise! It comes with challenges living in our Bigfoot. We are learning it is increasingly challenging to keep the inside of the camper dry…the humidity is real! Paul…

Dusting Off The Cobwebs- The First Week
We left Red Deer the morning of December 1st. The weather looked good for the next few days and the temps were manageable. Our rough plan is to hit the Pacific North West as soon as possible. Our last trip was largely determined by weather and this trip is no different. There is a rule…
