Oaxaca and Chiapas, Mexico We are now in Chiapas (Tuxtla) for the night. We ferried over to Mazatlan, and had a great drive down thru parts of Mexico we had not been to before. The town of Tequila was awesome! Oaxaca City was nice to see again, and I even ran into a good friend of ours in...

Hope to see ya there! I bet we cross paths. Leaving this week and driving down to Peten, El Zotz, etc. Have fun!

Preparing to go to Mainland Mexico This afternoon I got my truck back after 3 weeks of waiting for parts from the USA to show up. Dec. 23 rd we went surfing at a local break and as we exited the hi-way I noticed the temp. gauge way hot. Turned out that a 110 volt freeze plug style heater had...

Baja 250 Race Course Today was a blast; started off just doing maintenance on my BJ74 changing fuel filter, air filter, cleaning up a bit. Then decided to go exploring in the desert. Came across the marked course from the BAJA 250 Race. Drove it for many miles up in the high mountains/desert...

Shopping now for a new motorcycle and am almost positive it will be a KLR. Subscribed, and excited to see more! Nice build. Would you buy it again? May try and find a deal on a new 2011 as the 2012's come in.

I must admit after watching "the build up" of your rig, and seeing it now out on the road is cool. You must be enjoying all the hard work right about now. Nice pictures too!

Pictures from Mexico More pictures of the road trips thru Mexico. Funny, looking at these, I saw almost the same exact photos used in the last Overland Journal...

Aqua Caliente,Baja Too cool! As I left last week from Agua Caliente, the blue trailer had just popped into the place, and I noticed the shiny 4x4 too. Glad you met up with him! Hope it was relaxing after Cabo!

Waves Hey, thanks for asking. It has been good this past week as storm "Kenneth" went by heading north, but today it went to like 2 feet, and now higher winds are here. I think it will stay flat for a bit now. I switch to fishing and paddling when there no good waves, or head into the hills in...

Whales up close in San Jose This morning we went stand up paddling out a bit from Costa Azul/Zippers and had a large group of whales come within 50 feet of us in the water. It was pretty amazing to hear them and see them that close up. Too bad I did not have my camera with me. Hope everyone had...

Go Bernard Great choice on a vehicle. See you out there.

Repairs done for cheap! I decided to have a few things done to the truck down here and was so glad I did; I got a nail pulled from a tire and repaired, oil and filter changed, and 4 worn out bushings switched out with new ones; all for less than $60 US! Realizing more and more the reasons why...

Gracias Thanks! We have been down this way before and you are right! I think we took like 2 months surfing from one place to the other. I will look for the book, thanks. Many pictures to come of the waves!

Ruined Thanks. i checked out your website; looks good. We live in the frugal manner you describe, in order to save funds for the travels, and it's been a way of life, that works. Instead of buying tequila, I buy bushings, or replacement parts, filters, whatever in order to keep going. We are...

Pictures from the road A few more favorites.

Final destination? Glad to say to this often asked question; No... We have no clue where it will end or when/where the turn around point will be. This is more of a quest than anything; a quest to find a place that we both like so much, has all the required aspects such as mountains for biking...

We have been on the road now since July 2nd, 2011. Left Colorado, dropped down to New Mexico spent a lot of time there with our Native American friends over a few months, visiting the Pueblos and going to many "Feast Days", Markets, and Sacred Dances. Wound up mtn. biking a lot in Zuni Mtn.s...

Thanks John Thanks! Mexico was awesome, and Utah was still cold... Heading to N. Mexico soon biking. Hi to all at the shop too.
