After six wonderful weeks with our children, grandchildren and friends, we fly back to San Jose del Cabo on Baja California on April 23rd. Apart from a thick layer of dust, MOMO survived our absence well and we spend the first night at the gates of the storage facility. After a big shopping trip, we head into the mountains the next day to Rancho Verde, where we acclimatize for a few days.

After 2 weeks, we leave our beautiful bay in Agua Verde with a little sadness, because at some point we have to fill up on water and supplies again. After an overnight stop in Ciudad Constitucion, we take a rutted, sandy track to the Pacific coast and the beach at El Conejo. The surfers are at home here and we position ourselves in the dunes, reasonably sheltered from the wind. Swimming is out of the question due to the surf, but the whales pass by here on their way south. However, they are so far out that, with a bit of effort and luck, you can occasionally see one blowing or spot the tip of its tail. On the other hand, the beach makes for lovely walks and we experience a beautiful full moon. 

After seven months in Canada and the USA we cross the border to Mexico. The Baja California, the second longest peninsula in the world, stretches a good 1200 km south to Cabo San Lucas and is the northernmost and westernmost of Mexico's 31 states. We opt for the border crossing in Mexicali East. Entering the country is no problem and we get an import permit for the motorhome for 10 years. So we can take our time. After just over an hour, everything is done and we find ourselves in a different world in the big city of Mexicali. The roads are generally not in good condition, the traffic is hectic and sometimes chaotic. We don't want to stay here for long and get cash from the ATM and a SIM card for the internet. Then we take highway #5 out into the solitude. The road is a real challenge and just over 5 meters wide. With trucks passing each other, each 2.5 meters wide, you can only hold your breath and hope for the best. What's more, the road is built on an embankment and goes down to the right and left without a verge. So swerving is a very bad idea. After 70 kilometers we make our first overnight stop with Don, who owns a nice campsite by the river.

Our vacation in Germany flew by. We spent a lot of time with family and friends and welcomed our fourth grandchild. That's why we were a little wistful when we boarded the plane back to Las Vegas after almost seven weeks. After a night in the hotel, we take MOMO out of storage and stay at a campsite to install the various spare parts we have brought with us. 

Coming from Flaming Gorge, we spend the night in the National Forest, where we always find nice pitches that are kindly free of charge. We continue via Vernal to the Dinosaur National Monument. At the main entrance there is a visitor center and a museum with a dinosaur quarry where the sandstone with its exposed and preserved dinosaur fossils is protected by a glass building. In the museum are two dinosaur skeletons made from real and reconstructed bone parts.
