FINDING SAND DUNES and GUERRERO NEGRO Tuesday December 19th 2023 We said goodbye to our new friends, Bubba and Oatmeal. We promised that we'd look up their Instagram and their Youtube channel as soon as we got cell service (turns out they are really funny and fun to watch). We headed back...

Monday December 18th 2023 The sun was buried behind a bank of stormy looking clouds this morning. It didn't break free until nearly 11:00 AM We tried fishing from shore but our lines kept getting snagged on the rocks and I kept wading out to untangle them just to keep us from losing the few...

That is a great write up! Thanks for sharing your adventure! Death Valley is a special place and that road to the racetrack makes one question their ability to make correct decisions! One of the worst corrugations I've ever driven! Sent from my SM-G986U1 using Tapatalk

Sunday December 17th 2023 Happy Birthday to me! The sounds of laughing gulls, ducks and crows rumbled us out of sleep. We sat out by the campfire, drinking our coffee and watching the sun break over the mountain across the bay. Beth went fishing off the shore and I grabbed my birthday...

Saturday December 16th 2023 I decided to knock out a few projects that I'd been wanting to get done. I added some cut resistant cable protectors to the winch cables that route through the radiator support behind the grill. I had them wrapped in pool noodle foam as a stop gap measure when we...

Friday December 15th 2023 We unloaded our kayaks from the truck, tossing in our fishing poles and tackle boxes. Beth and I carried our gear over to the sandy beach. That seemed like a better launch point than the rocky beach nearer to the trailer. Luckily our kayaks are lightweight and easy...

Thursday December 14 2023 The sun came over the mountain from across the bay spilling into our windows and into our eyeholes. After our morning routine we locked up the teardrop and hopped in the truck. As we headed down the dirt road to the next beach we talked about just how rough the road...

BAHIA DE LOS ANGELES - A BETTER BEACH THAN LA GRINGA? Wednesday December 13th 2023 We were up with the sun and got everything packed up and locked down. As we were packing we were greeted with the sounds of two coyotes. They were obviously arguing to each other from across the beach...

Tuesday December 12th 2023 We began our day with the usual breakfast of coffee sitting beside our Campfire In A Can, enjoying the ocean breezes. (Is it okay to call the Gulf of California an ocean?). Afterward we cleaned our very dirty solar panels and then took a walk around the point to the...

iOVERLANDER FINDS US FISHERMAN'S COVE Sunday December 10th 2023 We woke up with the sunshine in our faces. Still a little windy but not nearly as much as the last night. Beth was able to use the stove outside and made our coffee. We sat in the sunshine and enjoyed the morning. We packed up...

Friday December 8th 2023 We took a slow day. After all we'd just spent four days traveling to get here from San Fransisco. That's enough driving in my book. We like to take our time getting somewhere and enjoying just being somewhere. To some it's all about the journey, but to us the...

The back tires of the truck decided to dig in. I tried to stop them but they insisted. I tried to go forward and they just dug in more. I checked my dash, I was still in 4hi, the front wheels were turning a bit but not digging in like the backs. They literally just sank in the sand. The...

CROSSING THE BORDER Thursday December 7 2023 After our usual breakfast of coffee we packed up our meager camp, meaning we cleaned our cups, coffee pot and put our camp chairs in the basement. (If you haven't followed us before, yes our teardrop has a basement for storage) With a very brief...

Let me preface this story with a little backstory: 12 years ago my wife and I built a little teardrop trailer. From 2012 to 2020 it took us on many east coast adventures. The main goal for the build was to spend one year traveling the country with it. In 2020 after years of planning we reached...

If you're in the US and will be using the hookups in a campground, using a campground dump station, or using the dump station at a Loves Travel stop or any RV park place all of your connectors on the drivers side. This is standard for the US. If you're not in the US or will not travel in the...

Gnarly trails? No, but that's one reason for having the trailer. We can set up a base camp and thoroughly explore an areas roads and trails (driving and hiking). Like driving Elephant Hill Road, we left the teardrop on BLM land for a night with the cows while we drove over Elephant Hill and...

We use Gaia Overland as a base layer. It combines a streets map, topo map, PublicLands, the FS MVUM, and the roads and trails. Then, depending on needs, we'll overlay: Nat Geo Trails Illustrated USFS Recreation Sites Mines and Minerals Wildfires (current) NPS Visitor Historic Topo 1930 Private...
