On our way through Nevada, we camped on BLM land located on the northern part of Lake Mead. We found this amazing spot that was covered in rock art! Last year we visited the Valley of Fire State Park and loved it. We decided to go back and check out the areas we missed since we … Continue reading Lake Mead, Nevada
Back in the USA, we stopped at Lake Havasu for a few days. Great dry camping on BLM land. We stayed here last year and loved this place. Great stargazing, hiking and stand up paddle boarding. Below are some pictures from our hike at Sara’s Crack. One of the most memorable hikes we have done. … Continue reading Lake Havasu, Arizona
As we were heading North, we stayed in Huatabampito. The RV Park was right on the beach. Perfect! We enjoyed getting back to our beach walks after being in the mountains for a week. I thought this jellyfish looked like Darth Vader. Beached Panga boat. Seriously tugging at our heart strings every time we meet … Continue reading Huatabampito to San Carlos, Mexico
While in Copper Canyon we took a bus tour out to Creel from Posada Barrancas. On our way we stopped at Tarahumaran cliff dwellings, Cusarare Falls, Arareco Lake and San Ignacio Arareco Church. Tarahumara Cliff Dwellings At Cusarare Falls the natives sell their wares along the path. A lot of vibrant colours. Stairs to the bottom of the … Continue reading Copper Canyon – Part II
Maddie took this photo while driving to El Fuerte. Love it! There were so many trucks transporting produce. These tomatoes are probably destined to be salsa because there is a “La Costena” factory in the background. Tonnes of tomatoes. There must have been over thirty trucks fully loaded. More produce…onions this time. We stayed at Hotel Bugambilias … Continue reading Copper Canyon – Part I
We finally went to Mazagua! It is a large aquatic park in Mazatlan, about a ten minute walk from where we were staying. We had a blast going down some very unusual waterslides. If you didn’t have enough momentum on this ride you wouldn’t make it over the next bump and would go get stuck … Continue reading Mazagua
The Mazatlan Carnival is the third largest carnival celebration in the world. The 2017 theme was Dragons and Alebrijes (brightly colored Mexican folk art sculptures of fantastical creatures). A couple of our friends rented two hotel rooms on the second floor so we could use the balcony to view the parade (having access to a bathroom was a bonus). The … Continue reading Mazatlan Carnival
We were involved in a fundraiser (RV Park valentine’s raffle and concert by Justin Lacey) for one of the poorest neighbourhoods in Mazatlan and raised over 11,000 pesos. All the money went towards making food hampers which included rice, beans, oil, flour, toilet paper, pasta, tomato sauce, salt, sugar and condensed milk. We made a total of 101 hampers … Continue reading Mazatlan Food Drive
Sayulita is a very popular surfing town about an hour and a half North of Puerto Vallarta. We had a great lunch, beach walk, ice cream and tour of the town with our friends. There were lots of great shops with beautiful artwork and wares. Makeshift bridge to get over the muddy road. Maddie did … Continue reading Sayulita
We were invited out to El Quelite for lunch and some shopping with a few of our friends. El Quelite is 45 minutes North East of Mazatlan and resides along a river bank. How cool…a bridge to get to your house. Token donkey. Maddie wanted a ride on him. There were lots of poinsettias, bougainvillea and statues … Continue reading El Quelite
