About Us

My photo
We are both retired. Built a house near a beach in Mexico to spend the winter away from the cold and snow. Have another home in Washington on the Pend Oreille River where we spend the summer. We divide our time between the two homes.

Onward to San Felipe

Between Guerrero Negro and Rancho Inez we encountered severe winds. It took us 5 hours to go 133 miles. Tom had to stop the rig when an oncoming semi approached, so that we didn't get blown into the side of the rig or over the edge of the road.














This picture is looking at the passenger side mirror, notice the tires on the white line? Even when stopped we were swaying back and forth. It was a long nerve racking day. 




 
We lost the vent cover along the way and the wind was howling into the bathroon lifting the scatter rug up and down. When we got to Rancho Inez I used a cereal box to put over the vent and taped and taped with duct tape so it wouldn't come off. While doing that little job I noticed the cap for the sewer vent was also missing. So will add these items to our growing list of fix its. 

 



In towns there are different types of produce vendors. Some with oranges or even tomatoes in the back of trucks and others have a stand with a little of everything.


 
Have no idea what these cactus are, but I thought they were interesting. The main branch is stocky like a tree and cream colored with the needles coming directly out of the main branch with what I guess are flowers on top. 




 




                                                                    
Once again we encountered gas being sold out of 55 gallon drums or milk jugs, for those that didn't pay attention to their gas gauges before crossing a long stretch without a Pemex.

A fun picture I forgot to post for Los Barrilles.






 

Drove from Ensenada to San Felipe with friends we met up with in Ensenda. We will check out the beaches and decide which one we want to spend some time at.
