Back to Baja & Day 365
October 17 Mainland to Baja Crossing Baja Ferries operations are complicated, nothing is simple or straight forward, but we’re loaded and happy to make the last crossing of the next 3 days. Happy to pass an uncomfortable night in the brightly lit, cold...
My year on the road – by Charley
I remember when we left home, the days were starting to get cooler which meant Winter was on its way, it was October 29th 2019. We had been waiting for this day for a very long time, actually for as long as I can remember Mum & Dad talked about us driving to...
Chihuahua
October 9 - 16 The long, straight, flat road from Durango to Hidalgo del Parral, made for an easy drive, but once we turned West on to smaller roads the terrain changed again revealing more of Mexico's diverse countryside.  Out the window we see bony horses and...
Durango’s Mexiquillo, Devils Backbone & Baluarte Bridge
September 26 - October 9th Durango must be the Scorpion capital of Mexico. Walking the markets, everything is about the Scorpion wether it's printed on a t-shirt, encased in a belt buckle or fermenting in a bottle of Mezcal the nasty looking arachnid is everywhere....
Guanajuato has Iguanas and a snake! – by Jaxon

Tolantongo River & Pools – by Charley
September 8 - 11 I would describe Tolantongo as a very beautiful place. It's definitely a must visit because the water in the river is very warm and it's a turquoise blue in colour. You can only go so far down river before you come across a red tape line going across...
Tolantongo
Sept 9 These roads make me feel like we're back in Guatemala, steep climbs mountain ridges with 360' views. Â Tight, twisty, steep and narrow lanes, one lapse in concentration and were done for. Rains have caused a few minor mud & rock slides onto the road, one...
Rio Verde to Tolantongo
Sept 4 - 12th From the dry desert highland heat to the low land jungle humidity, descending we could feel the moisture in the air. Â Javier the owner of the orange grove/campground said we were his first guests in 4 months. Understandably a little hungry for camping...
