Tonight we are camped very close to the water line in a marginal campsite, on the Sea of Cortez. It’s nearly 6.30pm and very warm, humidity wise. Last night while Nicky, Joel, Jen and I were enjoying a chat in the bar over a beer, a small fly buzzed into…
My opinion of Daggett’s Camp Ground improved after a lovely warm shower and hair wash. The wifi also started to work again during breakfast. Setting off just before 10am, we had to retrace our steps back to MEX1, by just over 60kms. On the way we passed a small turning…
Three other RV’s must have come into the campsite after we had gone to bed at 8pm!! We heard them all leave before we rose this morning. Today’s drive was through very arid, sparsely populated territory. Hot and inhospitable. The scenery alternating between brown hilly, scrubby ground with several different…
Last night we had been chatting in the bar with an Aussie Guy, Mick. Although he sounded like an American having lived in San Diego for more than 20 years. He and his friends regularly come down to Baja on dirt bikes. He knows the area very well. This morning…
Well, a lovely camp site looking right over the Pacific from an elevation of about 30m. The swim last night was lovely and refreshing. Jen thought it was cold but once under, it was warm. It’s a dry dusty site but with a view to die for. The only problem…

It’s getting much warmer now as we track south. Our campsite was nicely tucked in amongst some pretty amazing rocks. It was an early start at 9.30am. Not sure how we managed that but it was nice to get going again. For the remainder of the morning we were motoring in…
It was a beautiful silent night in the desert, after the most amazing sunset. Absolutely still with stars brightly twinkling. We were up by 8, but not in the mood to rush. Dennis changed a fuel filter before we left. I said in my last blog that Death Valley was…
A lovely night. Cool but not freezing. The sun was up before us and doing it’s work charging the auxiliary battery via the solar panel on the roof. We have been having a little problem with the fridge cutting out, so decided to rectify it and do some other remedial…
Day 139. Monday, 30th September. From Boulder Creek Camp Ground South of Lone Pine to Shoshone RV Park, Shoshona. After a double breakfast, the campsite provided free coffee and muffins and we had our porridge too, we set off into Death Valley. My first impression was the vastness. It is…
