At this very moment, our beloved bus is being used as a ski shuttle trolley to transport skiers and riders to and from Mt. Baker.  Apparently this is the site to go to for minor info : http://www.mtbakerskiarea.com/travel-info/busses .

A sweet girl named Anne contacted us with assurance that El Wanderer is being treated well and that the bus is still truckin’. She is a volunteer for the Surfrider Foundation, and is part of a program called Northwest Straits. Here is the website : www.surfrider.org/nws .

Thank you Anne.

We have received no pictures yet, but as soon as we do you bet they will be up here. Keep checkin in.

Treat El Wanderer well

I get back from classes around 6:50…so around 7:30ish be sure to check back to see all that we experienced in the last 2 weeks of or trip when we were incommunicado. Thanks for being patient, and we’ll see you at 7:30

Last night Brian and I were greeted at the airport with the loving and open arms of our family and friends. Upon arrival, I was having mixed feelings about being home. I thought of all the wonderful sights, smells, people and experiences that I missed in the magical place of Baja. However, the sight of smiling loved ones eased my ambiguous feelings and warmed my heart. To everyone that showed up last night, Brian and I appreciate it greatly and I cannot thank you enough. We are truly lucky individuals to have family and friends like you.

To all that have stuck with us through this journey…

Your comments, concerns, and encouragement brought smiles to our faces. We greatly appreciate all of you sticking with us, even when we kind of went M.I.A. at Punta Conejo for a while. Now that we are home please do not stop checking the site as we have a bunch of things to post. Thank you all once again.

Stay stoked and smile always…

After all this time on the road, we have made a large dent in our food supply, except for our 50-pound bag a rice of course (we ate a significant amount though). After calculating an estimated time of stay here in Baja, we’ve come to the conclusion that we will just have enough food to last us until our departure. But in case we run out, there is always rice and Ramon (our last case scenario backup backup food). We try to minimize weekly trips to the local markets to pick up a few things here and there, but at some times we just can’t resist. Our oatmeal ran out a week ago, so now we are starting our days off with delicious pancakes, that, according to the box, is just add water. Everything else is great though. Ant and I are healthy and well; just awaiting that epic day of barrels. Although there hasn’t been the most ideal conditions lately, we have been bodysurfing, and swimming everyday.

The other night has Anthony and I just started eating our dinner meal, we spot a bunch of fishermen going crazy by the shore. We look up and there must of been thousands of fish just going bonkers in the sea. We are talking about frantic fish just swimming around and jumping out of the water like it was some kind of Olympic event. As soon as we spot this phenomenon, we grabbed the pole and headed down to the water to test our skills, and our luck. After much time of our lure getting caught on the rocks, and our countless casts returning fishless, we decided to give up and return to our already made meal. Maybe next time.

We have some photos of the past couple of days. It’s not much but they are definitely worth checking out. Thanks for keeping up with us . Stay stoked and smile…always!
