San Felipe

We originally planned a quick dip of the toe into Baja staying in San Felipe in our RV at Victor's RV park south of town for two weeks but who can leave this?












We couldn't come up with a reason to leave so we stayed.



Baja continued to amaze.



And then the circus came to town - the San Felipe 250 Score offroad race. Our Mexican host assured us we had to stay for the biggest event in town and the last year's winning trophy truck team was going to stay next to us.





We know nothing about motor sports but surprisingly really enjoyed meeting the team and learning more about the sport. We had a front row seat behind Victor's RV park. A great group of guys.



They looked they lost a fight with Baja but actually came in 2nd in the unlimited trophy truck. I'm undecided if I would love to ride in this thing or I would end up hurling. Maybe both.



Our 14 days turned into 27 days but we finally had our last sunset in Baja... for this year. We will be back.

Trip notes -
-We took the Mexicali East border crossing down which was easy. Coming back North it was crowded and very tight for an RV.
-San Felipe has older RV spots that weren't made for modern slide out rigs but we managed to fit in front of our spot at Victor's RV park.
- The road south of San Felipe to Puertocitos is really bad so I'm not sure I would take the rig down there but we enjoyed exploring in our Jeep.

AWESOME!!!

You caught Baja Fever... yes, you will be back!
