Day 152. Sunday 13th October. Loreto to Los Angeles.

It’s 9pm and we are in a hotel room in L.A, waiting for a pizza to arrive. Ordered at 8.10pm. If it doesn’t arrive soon I’ll be asleep! After a rather sleep deprived night, I was up at 7.45am and down the road to see what damage had been done…

Day 150. Friday 11th October. Loreto Bay. Baja Mexico.

Last night was perfectly relaxing. Nobody around and the sea gently lapping the shore. But it must have been one of the longest nights for me. Yes it was hot, 31 degrees in ‘Poki’ at 2am!  Poki! How appropriate after last night. That’s the new name for our ‘Green Goddess’,…

Day 148. Wednesday 9th October. Rice & Beans RV Park, St Ignacio to Dos Amigos Camp site 20k’s past Santa Rosalia, Baja California.

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…

Day 146. Monday 7th October. El Rosario to Bahia de Los Angeles. Mexico

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…

Day 144. Saturday 5th October. Campo ‘Alisitos’ K58. to Campo Coyote Cal’s. Erendira. Baja Clif. Mexico.

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…

Day 142. Thursday 3rd October. Belle Campground Mojave Desert to Wild Camp Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Highway S3. California.

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…

Day 140. Tuesday 1st October. Shoshone RV Park. Shoshone. to wild camp 10 miles south of Kelso. Mojave Desert.

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 138. Sunday 29th September. Chris Flat Campsite to Boulder Creek RV Park. Lone Pine. Calif.

We were expecting rain yesterday, but it didn’t happen.  Snow was forecast for today and we got it during the night. I had to get up to answer the call at 4am and was greeted with a white-out. Here I am standing there with only the wrapping I arrived in,…

Day 136. Friday 27th September. Leisurely Place Campsite, Leisurely, to Cottonwood Creek campsite. Truckee. California.

As yesterday was Jen’s day to write the blog, she wouldn’t let me put these pics in her story. No taste that girl. Anyway, here are some pics of a junk yard we passed and here is some of the treasure waiting to be restored. This morning has dawned rather…

Day 134. Wednesday 25th September. Susan Creek Campground to Crater Lake, Oregon.

Boy, last night was a blur of feverish stupor but this morning I woke, like I imagine a butterfly emerging from it’s chysalis, reborn.  Our campsite was immaculate and complete with showers and flushing toilets. Great value at $20. We were camped in amongst massive trees and to see the…
