November 19, 2015 – We arrived in Loreto yesterday, still some wind but under sunny skies. Dropped by to see Ubaldo and Marv & Shel, make preparations for next season and the Fiesta Night Dinner tonight. The tour has gone smoothly, only Alan had a brush on his driver’s side mirror although as always leading the group we witness other drivers conduct on the road that questions their sanity, both Mexican and mostly tourists. Why do they seem so keen to get to the next life?

November 10, 2015 –Starting our 7th season and leading our 25th Baja tour how many new experiences could we have? Well Day 0 and Day 1 answered those questions. Our first stop is as always the Mexican Immigration Office to process the Tourist Cards, usually a 3 step process; (1) complete the application, (2) pay at the bank, (3) return to the immigration officer to have the permit registered and stamped.

October 31, 2015 – Today we leave our fancy digs at the Golden Village Palms RV Resort in Hemet, CA and head off down the road to the Springs at Borrego RV Resort located in Borrego Springs, CA. Our week in Hemet was everything we were looking for and more, lots of pool & hot tub time, hot days, warm evenings and friendly staff.

October 22, 2015 – Well we had no problem getting away on schedule heading out after the Thanksgiving weekend, the weather was great, sunny skies and no wind. We arrived in Woodburn, Oregon right on schedule, about 4:15 pm at our usual spot WalMart, lots of other RVs were already there, many arriving later. Day 2 on the road and we were off south bound once again on the I-5, next stop Weed, CA and the Friendly RV Park. We were shocked at the lack of Snow Pack on Mount Shasta, very different then just 2 years before at the same time of year. Even when we passed by in April heading north the Snow Pack seemed extensive.

April 9, 2015 – We returned to the US yesterday crossing at Tecate Baja California our usual location. We arrived at the border at 9:16 am and entered the US in approximately 45 minutes, not bad at all. On the American side we all met at the pulloff stop, gathered the radios, evaluations, returned information to the gang and said our goodbyes. What a great time we had on Baja for our 24th tour (29th for Baja Amigos).
