A unique way to see Baja, I was camped at Ensenada Muertos. 40 mi. s/southeast of La Paz, heard a motor aloft, a couple guys paragliding,
motor/fan/chute, on second thought, I believe they were
fixed wing ultralights, were flying the length of the Peninsula, had a chase car. A couple old Baja geezers reported
seeing a guy on a unicycle, with backpack, going so. on 1, south of Loreto

Mood: Getting excited about driving down Baja!
|
|
I am planning on driving down for the first time alone. Single, retired, adventurous female. Just bought a used Jeep Cherokee Ltd., 2005, only 39,000
miles on it. I have friends to stop by and visit thru the western states. But any suggestions on where to stop, things to avoid and good places to
stay in Baja would be greatly appreciated.

Quickly through the border (can't avoid it) and just about anywhere else your heart takes you. some people like solitude...others would like a
Margarita, music and a great party in the evening ...and some like something in between.
When did you plan on going?

I am headed down to my place in Los Cabos, no rush, no plans to party much, just see the sights, Catavina, maybe Sheri's place (always sounds so
inviting!) Hope to find motels that have enclosures for my vehicle. Would be good to hook up with some other travellers on the way. Should be going
thru in the first or second week of Nov. Coming from B.C.

BajaBoomer, if you have time, Sheri's and Juan's place is a great place to
stay! and from there, Baja blanca and Les have a great place. just a little south of Sheri's. fun drive. Have a great trip!

As a heads-up, you WILL be seeing a fair amount of Baja 1000 pre-run/race traffic - the actual race stuff is 11/12-16, but we'll be down there
prerunning a week earlier. Which means fewer hotel rooms, and more traffic along Highway 1. Not the end of the world, but could impact your travels a
bit.

Thanks StuckSucks, that is exactly the kind of info I wanted. Could be a good thing though, lots of mechanic types on the road in case of a
breakdown! Think I will be going thru the first week, depends on how long I spend in California.

Yup, didn't buy the Hybrid, bought the Jeep Cherokee Ltd with a hemi. I have a 1990 Jeep Cherokee down in San Jose but it's a standard. Know anybody
that wants to buy it?
