Overland Expo in Redmond, Oregon - so fun to see all the rigs, meet new people & fantastic classes.
It’s a great day when you get to meet 4 new baby horses! All born within a week of each other at Rancho La Pila in northern Baja. These babies are full of spunk, happy & curious. Meet these babies & go for an awesome trail ride with Marty Harriman.

Overland Expo West in Flagstaff
We worked 10 hours checking in exhibitors today. Check out these cool rigs. From Land Cruisers to Porsches… one never knows what type of overlanding rig we will see next. It’s a blast talking with the owners & employees of these great companies that are here on site. Why aren’t you here?

I first saw this classic looking 4x4 at an expo in 2023. Now they are everywhere! Here at Overland Expo you can test drive one.
The Grenadier 4x4 is the brainchild of Jim Ratcliffe, who was a fan of the original Land Rover Defender. When it ceased production, Jim saw a gap in the market for an uncompromising off-road vehicle.
“WE WANT TO BUILD THE WORLD’S PUREST 4X4 AND ARE AIMING IT AT EXPLORERS, FARMERS AND OFF-ROAD ENTHUSIASTS ACROSS THE GLOBE.”
Jim Ratcliffe of
INEOS Automotive.
These cool off road rigs are built in Hambach, France.

Sea, sand, and serendipity while exploring northern Baja! When we’re not bouncing from one stunning spot to the next, we’re on the hunt for the ultimate eats. Recently we found fresh seafood tostadas and an amazing squash appetizer filled with shrimp & special sauce. We’re always on the lookout for something new and delicious. And let’s not forget the scenery near San Quintin from long sand dollar playas to dormant volcanos, the nature preserves in Baja are truly spectacular. Quiet & calm exploring during the week with an easy Tecate border crossing.

Adventure Camper Van expo is always a good time. Great opportunity to talk to vendors & explore the new builds by various companies. We checked it out Sunday.
What will my next overlanding rig be? Well, I’ve been contemplating an OEV pop up camper with flatbed tray on a Ram, Ford or GMC truck. Overland Explorer Vehicle (OEV) campers are made in Canada. The finishing touches on these awesome campers is one of the best made I have seen in the industry. This rig could be driven just about anywhere. To the deserts, mountains, Baja or even to South America. Mmmm ….unlimited possibilities.
Rigs & Brews event was huge! I’m usually out traveling or leading trips so it was great to finally attend this local event.
I thought, yeah there will be a few off-roaders there I hope. Wrong! Probably over 100 off road rigs at this event today. Great vendors & I won a raffle prize. Fun day & met some cool peeps.🐥
Finally got good WiFi!
Camping on fincas/farms has been fun during this drive to Panama & back. We camped at this kick ass place in Pátzcuaro, Michoacán, Mexico called La Mesa RV park. It’s a little farm, it has a restaurant overlooking the lake, and farm animals & a few dogs. They put on big events here & offer lots of flat grass where overlanders & bigger RV & trailers can camp.
The town was founded sometime in the 1320s. Pátzcuaro and the surrounding lake area have one of the best-known Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico.
I walked every plaza & outdoor Mercado there. Of all the places I visited in Mexico & Central America-this town offered the fresher & best local produce! I bought fresh broccoli for only 10 pesos! That’s 60 usd cents. Great little town to visit.

Hierve el Agua -
Spanish for “the water boils” is a set of natural travertine rock formations in San Lorenzo Albarradas near Oaxaca, Mexico. These formations are created by fresh water springs, whose water is over-saturated with calcium carbonate and other minerals. This forms white rock formations which look like waterfalls.
Little secret - you can camp there! Best part is that early in the morning you can enjoy the area with no people around! The bus loads of tourists & cars start showing up about 7:30am. This was my 2nd time here & it was great with no people!
Oaxaca City, Mexico ——
today was a total foodie day. We tried memelas, Tlayudas, and flan de Tejate, flan de chocolate oh and mezcal tamarindo. Last night the 7 different moles were the best ever. Ya gotta get yourself to Oaxaca for the food, shopping, art & culture. Super fun.
Lake Atitlan, Guatemala
I love the overlanding lifestyle. I’m addicted to it actually. Meeting people from all over the world. Most of the local indigenous people are friendly and helpful. We are camping at a kick-ass place right on the lake.
Luv to stay longer here but we gotta head north. If you are an overlander ir photographer you gotta get to Guatemala!
All types of camping locations in Costa Rica: Fincas(farms), playas/beaches, private property, friends in San Ramon, near rivers & mountain tops. Miss Costa Rica already!
The overlander vehicles in Central America are every where you look. So many rigs here. I would luv to buy an older Toyota LandCruiser pickup! Wish list!
