Portland, Oregon
So I suppose I’ll start this one off with saying that I finally “upgraded” and started to use an IPhone. I made this decision for 2 reasons. 1, the camera is kick ass. The image quality is super crazy. I look back at my recent photos and instantly I’m bummed that I didn’t have this…

Fortuna, CA
Yesterdays drive started with a very early rise at my brothers house in San Francisco. I wanted to spend my first night at Big Sur but opted to make up some more time and take the 101 instead of the 1. I looked at a few spots in Santa Cruz but I couldn’t find anything.…

Huntington Beach, CA
Yup, that’s right. Back in good ‘ol Orange County and boy do I already miss the open road. I have WDS and my sister’s wedding coming up. Bulldogs are flight risks so the only real options I had were: (1) hang around Mexico, which is an oven at the moment, and waste travel money or…

Mazatlan, Sinaloa, MX
The ferry ride was a manageable 8 hour trip from Baja to Topolobampo. This new terrain seems very foreign. I’m right in the middle of a major shipping port and its beginning to come alive with everyone showing up for work. Long gone is the easy to navigate Highway 1, dirt turnoffs and charming taco…

Pescadero, Baja
Waking up in Cabo San Lucas flipping a coin is not usually how I like to start my day off. Falcon to the west, ruins to the east. I’m all out of road and can’t travel any further south. I need somewhere to go. Later rather than sooner I will find myself back in La…

Todos Santos, Baja
On the last day of the swell it was time to say adios to the East Cape and finish the last few kilometers of the peninsula. The Cape was definitely one of my favorite places in Baja. The sun said buenos dias through the back doors of the van every morning. I had miles of…

Cabo Riviera, Baja
Arriving in La Paz the evening before I tried to take in as much as I could that night. The two hottest cities so far have been Loreto and La Paz by a long shot. The temps are already breaking the 90’s by 10 am usually and with no winds it can be unbearable later…

San Juanico, Baja
Honestly, leaving Loreto was pretty hard but I knew that if I didn’t it could get pretty expensive hanging out with the girls. There’s also this awesome feeling that I get when I start wandering down another unknown path. So it was time to leave. About three hours and on the opposite side of the…

Loreto, Baja
I don’t really know how to sum up Loreto. After a few weeks of camping I decided to stop and stay at an RV camp site, Riviera Del Mar. All I wanted to do was clean up some dirty dishes, get some laundry done, check email and maybe find a car wash the next day.…

Bahia Concepcion, Baja
After taking in some of the layout and beauty of San Ignacio it was time to press further South. The first stop was Santa Rosalia, and mining town that is bursting with activity. Walking Riley through the streets in search of pesos was pretty amusing. Everywhere I stoped local people had their cameras out snapping…

San Ignacio, Baja
As we made our way towards Baja Sur we stopped over in San Ignacio for the evening. San Ignacio is a beautiful palm oasis town that is probably most known for the grey whales that give birth in the near by lagoon during the winter months. We shacked up at the Rice and Beans restaurant…

Bahia de Los Angeles, Baja
After a great morning session at Punta Baja I got a little restless. So I packed up and committed a sin in the process- never leave good surf. From El Rosario its 73 miles to Catavina. This is the longest mountainous section of Mex 1. At this point, the desert scenery really begins to come…
