Camping on the Beach. Great weather although cool winds and at night.

Nov 4 Sights of Ensenada

This post covers some of the sights we visited in Ensenada. The first visit was to La Bufadora (a blow hole) which blows up from the sea.

We also visited the Riviera Hotel Playa Ensenada, an elgant hotel and gambling casino that opened in 1930 and which is now a Cultural Centre

We also visited the John Hussong Bar (the oldest cantina, opened in 1892) and is where the Margarita was invented.

Nov 3 Potreo - Punta Banda (Ensenada)

This morning is the start of the adventure! Leaving Potrero we travelled the short distance to Tecate where we crossed the border. We had travelled down yesterday by van to get our travel permits validated so the crossing was fairly straight forward. We then had our first experience with driving the mexican highways. So far so good they were better than expected. The pictures show us together on the highway and then the entrance to the campsite.

Baja Amigos Caravan - Nov 2 - Potrero

Today we met up with the group on the caravan at Potrero Regional Park. Besides the wagonmaster and his wife there is us along with 4 other couples. One of the couples are returns from last years caravan and are acting as tail gunners till they get to a spot that they really liked and then will drop off on there own. The pictures show our rig and a surrounding view of the campsite.

Canadian Thanksgiving 2011

We were invited to spend the weekend at Carlson's cabin at Lac LaHache. We took our trailer and Michael and Nicole with us. They stayed in the cabin along with Debbie and Dan. Jessie stayed in the trailer on site.

Since this is close to the end of the season, everybody helped to row the dock into a safe harbour for protection from the winter storms. Afterwards we enjoyed a short paddle on the lake in their kayaks.

RVOABC Fall Rally

I know this was a while ago but we attended the 2011 Fall Rally of the RVOABC at the new Holiday Trails RV Park at Sunshine Valley between Hope and Manning Park. Along with the usual rally events Jan, Maxine, Helen and I went for a walk from the campsite to the Hope slide lookout.

We had great weather for the weekend of Sept 9 - 11 and made use of the RV Parks pools and hot tubs.

RMOC Summer Camp

We just returned from the Ridge Meadows Outdoor Club's Summer Camp in Manning Park at the Lone Duck Group Campground. We had 5 days of excellant hiking and with our very late summer this year, it turned out to be the perfect time for the alpine flowers. We hiked to Windy Joe, the Heather trail to the 1st Brother and also Skyline1. This was our first longer session of boondocking and although we managed by limiting our use of battery power, the trailer slide was a little slow going in.
