March 26, 2024 by Dawn Shears

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…

Tracks on the beach: Michoacan, Mexico

April 9, 2023 by Dawn Shears

Click on images to display full size slide show. The beach here is covered in turtle tracks! The last 2 images are of sandcrab tracks. I think that the turtle tracks are from green turtles…they call the subspecies here “black” turtles. The eggs will hatch in 60 days so we won’t be here to see…

April 2, 2023 by Dawn Shears

Click on images to display full size slide show. Travel Takes A Toll We felt pretty fried after the past few days of travel and had to address some issues with the RV (oil change, radiator issues) and then stock up and boondock at the Walmart in Manzanillo, Colima before moving on. On top of…

Bill Dallas Lewis (Bill the Geek), a YouTube creator from Mazatlan (and U.S. expat), came over to Isla de la Piedra (Stone Island) to meet us and we spent the afternoon getting to know each other.  It was a ton of fun and we learned that we had many things in common including learning to…

Language, culture & climate challenges in paradise: Life on Isla de la Piedra, Mexico (Part 1)

December 11, 2022 by Dawn Shears

I spent years looking forward to a long stay on Isla de la Peirdra (Stone Island) just across the channel, south of Mazatlan. Having been to Mazatlan in the late 80s I could not wait to return with my son for a visit and to see if perhaps we could add Mazatlan to the list…

We are at a beautiful, remote RV park in Las Glorias, Sinoloa!

December 1, 2022 by Dawn Shears

Traveled today from Huatabampito, Sonora to Las Glorias, Sinaloa today…  We are in another even more remote area SE of Guasave. The locals have been SO FRIENDLY and welcoming and helpful and engaging.  I told Chris that even though we have many miles to go and many destinations to explore/experience I kind of feel like…

Just a quickie…the sound of the lapping water of the gulf of Baja and the European starlings is so magical. AND we saw a pod of porpoise today just off shore!

Puerto Peñasco, Mexico

November 11, 2022 by Dawn Shears

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: We got kicked out of Joshua Tree!

November 7, 2022 by Dawn Shears

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…
