In 2011, Michael, my son of 17 at the time, was without my permission, signed up by his mom, for this climb of Mount Denali (4th most dangerous climb on earth) with this very guide (already known incompetent by me). Michael was signed up for this date on this very exact trip! Once I found out...

If I had that sort of time to spend a winter I would go to Baja, hands down! I've spent a month at a time in Baja, it's heaven. http://youtu.be/FMZ6ClK71kU

Steel wheels are designed to flex at the lug nuts, like a big lock washer keeping a constant tension. Alloy wheels are known for the lug nuts coming loose as they have no resiliency. I stick with steel wheels, always have, for the fact they stay tight, never crack, and never shatter. Plus, if...

Here is a shorty video of just the whales. A longer video will be coming soon: http://youtu.be/GYMJO_v76oA

Hmm....gas in the USA is $4.35 per gallon, diesel $4.49 and the oil companies with billions in profits pay no taxes, while plundering our public lands and seas. In Mexico gas is $2.70 per gallon, diesel is $2.90. 100% of the profits go to the country. Sometimes Mexico and the rest of the world...

Check out www.bajanomads.com for excellent baja forum. I am so going to eat here at Mulege's #1 fish taco stand, I can taste it already!

Mark, I share your disappointment to see this group heading to Laguna San Ignacio and not being able to join them. Perhaps next year we will be able to make such a trip. Ted Ted, I used to go to Baja several times a year. Depending how this one goes, Anne and I may go back with you guys next...

It's been a banner year for Grey Whales!

Beautiful pictures Mark, thanks for sharing.

Check out this amazing video from just a week ago! http://youtu.be/rGLDvxU3ow8

It was actually about 7 or 8 years that the lower springs lost its hot water. It was only an issue for a few months.

Here is a recommendation for a beach on the mainland. If you Google Earth: southwest of Caborca, Sonora to Punto Lobos (north of Puerto Libertad). Once you are at Punta Lobos you drive the beach about three miles north. My son's mom and I used to go there around 1987 through 1992. We'd stay a...

Just FYI, While down working on house last month in Puertecitos, we decided to go to Alfonsina's for shrimp omelettes and check where the pavement ended. They are all the way to Los Delfines now, maybe 10-12 miles from Gonzaga. Hate to see this get paved, but... Argh!! I have been worrying...

Suni, Likely we'll see you at Laguna San Ignacio. I can tell you from many trips that if you take the east side via Gonzaga etc, it is usual faster than Mexico 1, not to mention infinitely more scenic. Jay measured from Guerro Negro to Ventura, taking the east side, entering through Calexico...

Suni, I am flying Michael out of Loreto to LAX on Friday March 30th, Anne is flying down the same day. Then Anne and I will work our way north stopping to do the whales at Laguna San Ignacio(again),likely on April 1st, then crossing over along the east side road to Punta San Francisquito, Bahia...

Keith, Your bighorn sheep photos are excellent! Gene

Hey Andy and Susan, Damn, I need to get back to Sayulita. I went down there a few times in the years past. We'd rent a house on the hill and stayy a couple of weeks at a time. We'd take a cab from Puerto Vallarta and live the whole vacation by walking everywhere, never using any cars or buses...

Here is a good source for Mexican Auto Insurance that I have used in the past: https://www.vagabundos.com/index.html

Mark, I see you found an excellent spot. If you get the urge for a fine dinner out, Seasons Restaurant in Lone Pine is superb.

In a nutshell, less than 100 years ago, the west was roamed by grizzlies and wolves, the world population was 1/7th of what it is today. Today, 98.8% of the Redwood forests are gone, the grizzlies and wolves are gone from most states, world population is 7 billion, will double in 17 years. Top...
