The Bougie Zombie


Prepping for Mexico has given us a new energy and reason to get the truck "dialed in" for our adventure.  Stu ordered a full extension bed slide and installed a Voodoo Max Modular Rack over the weekend.  It makes things so much easier to access!  This is all making the trip seem that much more real.  We're camping at The Range this week - it will be the perfect time to test everything out.

a shell of what it once was

The renovation has begun in earnest and has so far consumed about five days.  Day one was removing furniture and saving all of it to make templates. Next came skin removal. After that, insulation was removed.  Stu and his friend built a wooden skeleton inside to give it strength when the “pull the shell” - meaning they’ll unbolt the frame from the aluminum dome. The frame is in pretty rough shape. It will need to be repaired at the very least.  The demo part has felt quick - we’ll see how rebuilding goes!

La Paz

​ Yesterday the group had an organized city bus tour and lunch. The guide, Pamela, was adorable as spoke English very well.  We loaded up on a really nice bus and headed into La Paz. The tour started with a three story history museum.  A museum docent guided us through  - and the history covered early times through the Mexican Revolution. Next we walked next door to an old building that had once been a sanitorium, then prison and now a combined library and day care center.  The building was old and beautiful and we were told that it was haunted and had underground tunnels leading to the nearby mission.  The bus returned to the terminal and we walked around the city - stopping in the mission, some small  shops and then along the shoreline to lunch. The city was very clean and had beautiful sculptures near the water.  Lunch was across from the beach and included delicious desert.  While we were touring, Stuart and two of our friends - Peter and Fred...

Thanksgiving at The Range

Image
We had a shake down cruise to The Range for a week.  It's an Airstream only park and this was our fourth trip there.  (That makes us official "Range Repeaters") Sarah and Paul have spent years developing the property and they have done a stunning job.  My parents and some local Airstream friends joined us - and we ended up making some new friends too!  Kelly and Pam, new-ish Airstream full-timers were wonderful company and a wealth of information.  Taking advantage of several meals at the barn was one of the highlights of our stay - Thanksgiving dinner, Saturday morning breakfast and Saturday dinner.  The food was delicious and the company was even better.  Looking forward to more visits to the Range in 2022!
