Click on a photo to view full size gallery… We took advantage of the overcast weather to take a nice walk to the middle of town to see the Semana Santa decorations and just check out what was going on. It’s about a 1.25 mi. walk from El Rancho RV Park just outside of town…
Monthly Alternative Fair at the Muelle de, Urandén, Michoacan
Just a few miles northwest of Patzcuaro, the Urandén port is a venue for the “Feria Alternativa, Pátzcuaro”. It takes place the first Sunday of every month and we would not have even known about it except for a local expat friend. It’s not on the general tourist radar but rather seemed to be comprised…

Photo Albums (Above: Click on a thumbnail photo to view the desired gallery) Go back to main gallery > We decided to take a combi (public transport van) with a friend and spend the afternoon exploring Tzintzuntzan (pronounced “sen SOON san”, the ruins, ancient olive trees at the monastery grounds and scope out some of…
Handcrafted clothing in Patzcuaro: Exploring the Janitzio dock for special items
Shopping for items for wholesale and send to friends as gifts. I’ll buy some things for myself on the next trip.
Puerto Peñasco, Mexico
November 11th, 2022 was our big, much anticipated border crossing day so we started out early. Our plans pretty much came off without a hitch with an easy drive to the border crossing at Sonoita, Arizona and no wait to get our paperwork approved AND WE GOT THE FULL 180 DAYS! Now for the 1.5…
Twenty-nine Palms/Quartzsite
We were so flipping happy to get into the lower elevation desert areas and friendlier locales after our experiences in Joshua Tree. We had planned to stay at Twenty-Nine Palms but it’s so darned ritzy that the RV parks (we were willing to pay the prices) would NOT allow any RVs that were more than…
Twenty-nine Palms: We got kicked out of Joshua Tree!
After the trauma of losing our awning in the Tejon pass and a boondock in the Palmdale Walmart parking lot (during a pretty intense wind/rain storm) we were ready for a park camp somewhere cool and figured we’d go check out Joshua Tree National Park when we arrived at Twenty-nine Palms. As for Palmdale…we saw…
Palmdale, California and the Tejon Pass incident
These photos are of the trip from Dunnigan to Palmdale…we were so happy to be entering the desert and warmer weather although we ended up going straight into a pretty intense storm. The worst of it was going through the Tejon Pass when 70+mph wind gusts partially opened up one side of the RV awning…
Dunnigan, California
We drove through the California redwoods which was a beautiful but kind of a nail-biting journey on windy roads in the rainy conditions. We were happy to emerge after that journey down into the central valley of California with warmer, dryer temps and eucalyptus trees.
Gold Beach, Oregon
We moved out of our apartment into the RV on October 28th, 2022 and stayed in a local RV park on the Rogue River and then left Gold Beach for Mexico on November 4th. We’d never done any shake down on the RV (no time) so it was our first time doing everything!
