Old tower on the way to Fisherville
I decided I would spend one more week in BC before heading to Lethbridge to visit friends. BC is pretty in the spring, I might as well take advantage of the improving weather to see one more area I had scouted out with the motorcycle. I’ll be jumping forward to summer 2024 after this – there is not much to tell on my visits to Lethbridge, Calgary and Didsbury to visit friends and take care of business. Onto the the last BC spot!

Wapiti Lake
The weather had continued to stubbornly stay cool north of me, but my time in the USA was almost up. It was time to head back to what was a still too cold Canada. As a traveller, you at least have the option of staying in the warmest areas as you head north. So follow along with me as I hit the ‘hot spots’ going north!
The Bluff graffiti is so old it’s historical too
After an overnight in Waxahachie, I left in the morning. My visiting time was done, it was back to solo travel in an RV for me. Spring had sprung; I was working my way west and north for a return to Canada in a month’s time. But in the meanwhile, I would be making stops along the way, starting with the ‘base’ of the Texas panhandle. I have to say, Texas may not have much for real boondocking, but that does not mean you can’t camp for free. Free campgrounds with electricity and water welcome you in several small towns along the way. Read on to see what I found, plus a current update!
I spent some of my time in north Texas, as well as a little day trip into Dallas. While my friend Colette was there for some dog training, I had time to see some of the sites around the area, touring about with my Grom motorcycle and walking about. But first, let me tell you about the day trip we took into Dallas to see the George W Bush Library.
I didn’t like what the google store told me
As a nomad, my Pixel 6 Pro cell phone is one of the most important items in my life. It is my connection to the outside world, my entertainment, my research tool, my goto camera, my flashlight, my radio, among many other things. So when it started overheating on me, I knew it was time to start thinking about a replacement.
Texas bulldog at an outdoor restaurant A-OK
Texas so far had been good. Free camping at a nice park was great, the highways were good and the gas was cheap. This really should be Nirvana for RV travelers, at least if you can give up being out in the middle of nowhere with no one around you. But I was heading for Dallas and a mixture of mooch-docking and paid campground camping with my friend. There was definitely some new experiences, both expected and unexpected. Read on to see the first part of my Texas experience.
I was back in the United States, camped in the same area where we had started out our adventure six weeks previously. I was planning my route east to Dallas as four days travel, with one day rest thrown in before I had to brave Dallas roads. It was to be much quicker travel than I usually do. Read on to see my “whirlwind” tour between California and Texas!

My last night in Baja gave me a second round of Bioluminescent seas
Before I get into my travels east to Texas, I thought I’d discuss what I think of Baja after having been there for six weeks. It’s definitely not enough time for me to be an expert on the area by any stretch, but it is long enough to start getting the feel for the place. I’ll be sprinkling this post with my favorite pictures of the trip too. If you are new here, you may want to read my posts on Baja first, starting here. Now, onto my thoughts!
Cemetary in San Bruno
We were headed north, which seemed weird. There had been no obvious destination where we went ‘we have arrived, time to turn around’. We were just heading north because we had not felt like heading further south this time. But isn’t that the point of travel life, to go the direction you feel like going ‘just because’? It was to be my last few days with the group before I had to head north much faster. I had a meeting to make in Texas, so I would have a reason to head north much quicker soon!
Bougainvilleas were blooming in Mulege
Leaving our Mulege ocean spot, we had one further stop in mind, only a few minutes drive down the highway from where we were now. So we might as well explore Mulege a bit more before heading to Mulege Brewery, our Harvest Host stop for the night. Then it would be northward bound!
