At our camping spot here on the Del Mar Fairgrounds in California, we can see the ocean to our west, and directly south there’s a lagoon that rises and falls with the tide. We’ve fished off the banks with hopes of casting in just the right spot to pull a halibut off the lagoon bed. […]

Shana & Marcus Make a Day into a Gift at Del Mar Fairgrounds
We are steadfast boondocking enthusiasts, but on occasion we find ourselves enjoying time in oddly amazing (campground) situations. We decided to give the fairgrounds in Del Mar, CA, a try. Known as the place where the surf meets the turf, it played host to the world-famous Sea Biscuit back when he began his historic run […]
Shana & Marcus at Pacific Beach

When Your Friends Are Squatters (Guest Post)
By Heather (aka Raindrop) You know that feeling that invades when you haven’t seen someone in a long time? The one that sits squarely in your gut, reminding you things might not be the same as they were the last time you spent hours on end with this person.
