South to Baja part 4 Ojo de Liebre Camping, bird watching, and early season Whale watching? The fourth episode to go along with the written story is live on our youtube channel. In this episode we spend 6 days over Christmas camping at Laguna Ojo de Liebre hoping for an early season Whale to...

Part 3 of our Baja adventure. We spent a week at Bahia de Los Angeles. We found a quiet beach south of town (not near LaGringa and all the van lifers that were there). We only saw a few locals come in and use the beach, and there was only one other person camping on the beach at all. Fishing...

Part 2 of our Baja trip on video. We spent several days on a rocky beach that we had all to ourselves, well that's if you don't count the pelicans, ravens, vultures, and coyotes Sent from my SM-G986U1 using Tapatalk

Expedition Travel? I've never been on an actual expedition, however we do love to travel and we do love extended travel into the wilder areas. Back in the late 80's (think 1988) my then girlfriend and I got into a photography class at the college we attended. She was from Pennsylvania and I...

We also just posted the first video of our trip on youtube. If anyone is interested in watching. The first covers our border crossing and our first few nights camped on a beach north of San Felipe. Sent from my SM-G986U1 using Tapatalk

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the likes and comment. The whole trip was so much fun. The building of the couch was as much a puzzle as anything, making stone comfortable can be a challenge. Glad I could help (it's not much but a little of something is better than nothing!) You're welcome...

When we did our very first drawings of the design it actually incorporated a fancy swing arm air bag set up like the old AT Chasers used. Along the way we eventually discussed trailer usage, maintenance and ease of acquiring parts for repairs. The standard leaf and axle setup is so simple. We...

Thanks Dan! I appreciate the comment! Sent from my SM-G986U1 using Tapatalk

Saturday January 13th 2024 The drive up to San Felipe was uneventful. We stopped in town for gas once more. The hub temps were still good to the touch. We drove right on up to the beach we camped on when we first arrived. It looked a bit different this time, like there had been a good rain...

Friday January 12th 2024 We packed up camp and with the windows down we slowly rolled out of camp. Beth walked alongside, listening for any weird noises. I leaned my head out of the window doing the same. Nothing, that's good sounds to hear. We stopped at the end of the washboarded two track...

WE HAVE AN AXLE! Thursday January 11th 2024 There were clouds doing there best to prettify the volcano even more. I sat and watched them slowly dissipate. Then it was more back into town. As we passed the landfill/dump/burn pit we noticed what looked to be hundreds of vultures...

SEEING YOUR CAMPER ON JACK STANDS IN THE DESERT IS WEIRD Wednesday January 10th 2024 At sunrise we were out of bed. It was all of 29 degrees and we dressed for the occasion. The wind wasn't blowing so at least we could fix coffee. Then we emptied our boxes of gear out of the truck...

I CAN'T FIX THIS: THE ADVENTURE YOU WANT VS THE ADVENTURE YOU GOT... Tuesday January 9th 2024 We slept in, tired from the loss of sleep the night before. We drank our coffee standing close to the teardrop to be out of the wind. We had to put on our puffy jackets and gloves to stay warm...

RETURN TO THE SCENE OF THE CRIME Monday January 8th 2024 Sleep was fitful over the night. You could hear the winds racing down the arroyo like a freight train. Closer and closer, louder and louder until it hit the trailer and we rocked through the gusts. A minute of quiet and just...

THE WIND! IT'S ALWAYS THE WIND! Sunday January 7th 2024 The morning was cold! Not actually cold, I mean, it was 42 degrees. It was just colder than it has been. We dressed, pulling on our puffy down jackets, then went down to the couch with a blanket to sit on and coffee cups to...
