Bajaparanoia - the irrational fear of "people" disovering "your spot" - will ruin the trip for both parties. Relax. Be selfless. Exhale. You will have a better time.



This is excellent. When I talked about or showed photos of my favorite beach, 'Shell Island' a few told me not to, that it would be ruined, etc.

Well, it looks the same as it did when I first camped out there in 1978 or since I stated my web site in 2000 with photos of the place.

People who read this web site are the good kind of Baja people, the kind that haul out their trash (and any other laying about) for example.

My daughter on Shell Island, 3 years ago.

From what?

Dave there are a lot of drugs here guns also , but if you take the time to talk with these solders They will show you photos of all the things they have stop from moving up and down the highway. and believe me it is a lot. I usually welcome the brake when I pull in to a military check point. what I don't CARE fore is the federal and state police check points. anything can happen at these.

spring for the insurance.
go slow, and as someone said, "follow those dirt roads"
bring a "soul" attitude-"agro" won't do...
give yourself time to adjust to the new environs.

oops, that's more than "1 'peace' of advise". sorry.:P
