Blue Heart Springs
June 4, 2020 When we woke up in the morning, the 1:30 am group from last night were gone. We didn’t hear them leave in the morning, so we guess that they launched their raft in the middle of the night and floated down the river. It was a bright moon, so I guess there …
Shoshone Falls
June 2, 2020 We left home around 3 pm and headed north on I-15 through Salt Lake and Ogden. Just north of Brigham City we took I-84, headed northwest into Idaho.

On to the Border
Feb 18, 2020 We were up early and left camp around 7:30 am. Just a few miles north towards Mexicali we stopped at Mi Ranchitos for a couple of menchaca burritos for breakfast. We continued up the highway until we were just south of Mexicali. From there we turned east on highway 4. This took …
Bahia de Gonzaga
Feb 15, 2020 We called the beach at Papa Fernandez Mark Twain Beach because of the rock formation at the south end of the beach that looks like Mark Twain. Today we hiked to both ends of the beach. On the south end I climbed a sand dune to the top of the cliff that …
On to Bay of LA
Feb 12, 2020 We left Laguna San Ignacio around 9 am and drove the 10 hard miles of washboarded roads until we made it to the pavement. Once we were on the pavement it was an easy drive into San Ignacio. Today was a day of driving. Once we were back on highway 1 we …
