Just curious, at the spots where you just pitched a tent on the beach, are those pay locations or just random empty stretches of beach? Seriously looking forward to doing something similar in the near future. Great report, thanks.

Excellent little journey! Love those solo trips. Nice job on the fish! Thanks for the virtual ride along.

Those were just stretches of empty beach. On the Pacific side I feel totally safe going off the grid in most places south of El Rosario. I also camp freely west of the Santo Tomas valley anywhere from Punta Santo Tomas down to Erendira and beyond, but I wouldn't recommend staying outside of a secure campground from Colonet south to El Rosario. Too many migrant farm workers turned meth heads that were imported by Big Farma.

In Asuncion I camped in Shari's place; for a small fee there is a shower, toilet, wifi, and little clubhouse with books and whatnot.

Get a good map (the Baja Almanac if you can find it), make Google Earth your friend, and you can find tons of great places.

Great photos and narration. I love the way the trip seemed so care free, yet was so clearly the product of research, planning and organization. Never much of the adventurer myself, I took immense vicarious satisfaction in this trip report. Well done! :cool:
