We enjoyed an entire week exploring the city of La Paz and nearby beaches in southern Baja California. Our visit coincided, not by coincidence, with the celebration of ‘carneval’ (think, Mardi Gras…except don’t think anything risque because this was a totally family friendly event). We enjoyed multiple parades, interesting floats, talented dancers and bands, and […]

As we headed south of San Felipe along the Sea of Cortez we were continually amazed at the amount of flower blooms all across the desert landscape. The road (Mexico Hwy 5) was also amazing, right up until we reached our first ‘out of order’ bridge. Fortunately, we were expecting this! Having been advised by

We started our holidays with Hannah and Doug, who hosted lavishly in spite of being under the weather. Hannah and Sharon

And other stories of beautiful scenery, amazing wildlife, and an epic unpaved road for adventure motorcyclists. Here is our

After the Kenai Peninsula we had planned to head to the Valdez area, however, we met so many travelers who told us we had to go to a town called McCarthy and see the Kenicott Mining historical park, we went there instead. They were right, it is a place not to be missed! The 73

After we left Denali National Park we drove to the town of Talkeetna and visited the Denali Mountaineering Center. This is where all climbers must go who want to attempt to summit Mt. Denali. We found a few interesting facts: only about half the climbers are able to summit because the weather can be very

We hope this update finds you doing well! We are currently in Dawson City in the Yukon. We are drying out from a monsoon type rain storm that completely drenched us yesterday. Bad for off-road riding; good for catching up on blogs. Just a heads up, if you had not noticed already, we have very
