Is That A Shark?

by

We’ve spent a significant portion of this trip staying off the beaten path and ignoring offers to take guided tours, go on planned hikes, or pay entry fees in general of any kind.  I like to say that this is because of our indomitable spirit of self reliance and adventure, Val would probably (fairly) point …

Los(t) Dolores: The Best Laid Plans

by

Toward the end of our stay at Agua Verde, Ashek and I were chatting with Kirby and comparing notes on where we might be headed next. Val and I have learned in our travels that our single best resource when solving for the “what do we do next” problem is other travelers. The more grizzled …

Gallery Time: About Those Snakes…

by

Limited bandwidth has been really frustrating my efforts to get pictures of the adventures up, but I fought through the pain, munching on some peanuts and sneaking a beer from the fridge in the truck while loitering at a dive shop in Cabo Pulmo and can now present the following annotated gallery of our pre …

Eight!

by

Leonie, as of about three o’clock in the morning, is now eight. The girls and Val are in the tent right now, enjoying the first chapter of a book that was one of the gifts tonight. It is still, as calm a night as we’ve had since we made camp here on the beach at …

A Mighty Wind

by

We left Playa Escondida with heavy hearts on Wednesday morning, the third in a wave of departures, watching first as Feral’s old Dodge worked its way up the saddle and out of sight, then Ashek and Alex’s lovely old Rover, and finally it was our turn. Our plan was to head south to what appeared …

1/22… El Synopsis

by

It’s Wednesday, January 22 and while more detailed posts will follow, in the interest of at least keeping folks up to date and making some sense of our peripatetic wanderings, here is the synopsis of What The Bugs Have Been Up To.   Gallery at the bottom of the post for those who are more …

1/13… Shock and Awe

by

I went for my morning run, half an hour or forty minutes up the beach in Bahia de los Angeles, before turning around, and made it back to camp by about nine.  It hurts, because I’m sure as hell not in shape like I was six months ago, but it feels good to remind the …

1/19… Teach a Man to Fish

by

Daniel rode  into our camp at about two, and asked us if we were interested in doing a little shopping.  The answer, if only to pursue the adventure further, was clearly yes. *** We had already had a great morning. The girls were out of the tent and down to the beach almost the second …
