Hurricane, Zion & Bryce Canyon National Parks
Hurricane April 23 Our friends Pat & Brenda Montani told us about Hurricane, pronounced ‘Hurkin’, Pat loved the mountain biking here, said it was more scenic than Moab, and recommended we check it out.  Sadly, as I write, Pat is in the Squamish Hospice. How...
Loreto. The last frontier & MX5 North
April 1 Pulling into Loreto is kinda like coming home. We’ve been here many times, the last was on our way down the Baja just 16 months ago. Jeff & Tracy made us feel welcome, opening their home to us. The kids quickly dumped their bag &...
Adios La Ventana!

A kids day in La Ventana – by Charley

Our La Ventana Bubble
November While the global pandemic rages on we sit in our beautiful beach bubble feeling only slightly affected by it all. While USA is spinning compass, our biggest decision of the day is which size kite to pump. While Canada's Covid curve is flattened vertically, we...
