Guanajuato was one of our favorite cities in Mexico! The town is built in a ravine so while it’s not very conducive to driving, we had a wonderful time walking around the city. We stayed at a campground in the city (the only one) which was on a grassy terrace, with an incredibly view overlooking […]
Nevado de Colima is a high peak, 4,350m high which can be either a non-technical walk or technical climb. The hike has views of the neighboring active volcano and you can often see steam / smoke coming from it, we even heard some interesting grumbling. You can also have views of the Pacific Ocean, if […]
Etzatlan was the start to a wonderful week. We spent a few days camping at Delia’s RV Camp which is run by a mother and daughter team. They have 4 dogs and 7 horses, and I couldn’t have been happier spending time with Sam (the daughter) and helping out on the farm. One day, Jakob […]
Since, well, maybe Utah, we’ve been battling with the heat making us feel a bit too lethargic to use our bikes, running shoes and generally, being active. So, we’ve now escaped the Mexican coast, in search for mountains, higher elevation and cooler weather. And we’ve certainly found it. But first, as a catch-up on what […]
Crossing the border was a non-event. It is very well documented and honestly, no one seemed to really care about people crossing into Mexico. We drove through the checkpoint and were asked to pull over for an ‘inspection’ which is standard for RV’s and vans. They opened two drawers and told us to continue. A few hundred […]
After California we visited my Aunt and Uncle, their 3 girls, 2 dogs and 2 cats in Los Alamos. Always great to see the family and to see the girls growing up! Los Alamos is such an interesting town. We drove into Los Alamos from Albuquerque along Highway 4 through Valles Caldera, an active volcano […]
First, we got a new name. SprinterCanDiaries. Joking. But seriously, Outside Magazine Online recently featured us as one of their 24 Favorite Camper Vans! Even though our name was misspelled, we were very excited and thankful to be recognized. We had put a lot of time and effort into designing and building this van and […]
For the past month we’ve been focused on enjoying California, visiting friends and family in Germany, celebrating a friend’s wedding in Sweden and enjoying Budapest with friends at the Sziget music festival. We’ve been stormed off Mount Whitney (the highest peak in the continental US), drank boots of beer with great friends in San Francisco, […]
We spent the last week in and around Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We had been to Jackson a few months prior to ski and test out the van, so we were looking forward to seeing it during the summer months vs the winter. Our first order of business when we pulled in was to change our […]
Thank you for leaving this note! It made us so happy to see that there’s such a fun and friendly community of travelers/adventures/sprinter owners!
