Before continuing our journey south, there are a couple towns a few hours north of Mexico city we needed to visit. First…a highway stop for a mountain of strawberries. San Miguel de Allende is known as one of the most beautiful cities in Mexico. The preservation of its colonial buildings and its importance during the…
DetailsSo we said goodbye to the truck and hopped on the bus for a week of exploring and eating our way around Mexico City. The greater Mexico City area is huge, with a population of over 21 million people. There are some 300 neighbourhoods that would take a lifetime to explore. For the first part…
DetailsWith a successful ferry crossing behind us we spend one night in Mazatlan and then start working our way down the coast. It is immediately apparent we are not on the Baja anymore as the desert has turned to jungle and the extreme heat is now mixed with thick tropical humidity. We zip down the…
DetailsOn the move again. It was difficult to pull ourselves away from Bahia De Los Angeles but on day 5 we again hit the road. This time heading for Mulege and the Bahia de Concepcion. The drive went well and even included a stop in the desert for a delicious bowl of ceviche like seafood…
DetailsSo the big day had finally arrived. As much as we have enjoyed crossing Canada and working our way down the West coast of the US we feel the real adventure will start when we cross into Mexico. Different language, culture and food is really what we want this trip to be about. As has…
DetailsWe crossed into California in search of a Redwood forest. Our first stop did not disappoint. We pulled in to Del Norte Coastal Redwoods State Park Labour Day weekend with no reservation fully expecting to be turned away but instead were given one of the best campsites of our trip. Redwood Forests extend down much…
DetailsLots to do in the Pacific Northwest. We worked our way South through Washington stopping for Don to play Chambers Bay Golf Club (home of the 2015 US Open) on the banks of the Puget Sound. Crossing in to Oregon we head straight for Portland and a few days enjoying the food trucks and crazy…
DetailsSeattle was once again all about food. Once we disembarked the ferry in Anacortes, Washington, we headed for Seattle to enjoy the big city and load up on more great eats. Sleeping in the bush in a rather dodgy state park half an hour outside of town for a couple nights, we drove in to…
DetailsFrom Jasper we did the big push all the way to Vancouver. For the last few years, Sam has joined her friends in Vancouver for the annual Seawheeze Half Marathon followed by a concert in Stanley Park. We parked the camper at Capilano RV Park in Vancouver (Our second RV park of the trip). Great…
DetailsThe drive across the prairies was fairly uneventful… … other than a 3 hour period we were trying to outrun two tornadoes. One coming at us from the south and one down from the north heading for each other and us in between. …Exciting! We increased our speed to get to Regina, fast and made…
