Weirdly enough, there are several container homes in La Ventana. I tour the nicest one that’s finished, and it’s thoroughly meh. Best: spiral staircase. Worst: not sufficiently insulated (interior walls warm to touch), weird extra windows, and patio doors on second floor that open to nowhere). Meh. We spearfish. And I catch! Nice big roosterfish.… Continue reading here fishy

HOT. And nice, far beyond the sunrise. Trailer almost onto land: out of street and nearby. Truck got real sandy there for a second;) Found corners of my lot; this is big and green! Walked with Maribel and her uncle, a fisherman who got this plot in the 2008 land lottery (unallotted land is assigned… Continue reading getting to it

And we make it to Loreto! Cops are pissed at me parking ginormous truck trailer combo sticking into street. They… Continue reading A Loreto

Villa Alberto Andres Alvarado Aramburo, the meth truck stop with as many names as people not looking shady. Although gas station tire repair attempt hang… Continue reading pssst
Oof
Was legit dumb to stay up drinking catching u to ~3:30 last night. Fortunately, loading solar onto the roof was easier than anticipated (I’d left 26 panels + microinverters at the house in Bombay Beach I started adverse possession on). Scrap wood holding them onto roof is so ridiculous that it just might work. An… Continue reading Oof
Copilot!
Craig arrives! He was going to fly into Cabo later, but for some stupid reason is such a great friend that he instead flew into San Diego to keep me company / from falling asleep on the drive down. Probably doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into… And immediately something goes wrong. While driving up… Continue reading Copilot!

Picked up toys deals. Jetski with trailer in SLO $1.8k, 33′ toy hauler (meaning the back folds down so you can drive adult toys like ATVs and motorcycles into it) in my kind of rough shape San Diego $5k. Drove all the way here without killing myself! Staying at *Giant* RV park Campland: 600+ spots… Continue reading More Toys
Leaving
Mon. 9/27/21: Kate left and so did I (her in the morning and me much later afternoon than hoped):( But, at least I’m leaving in overloaded Beverly Hillbillies style!
