Yeppp! One last remaining area one can be without another soul.... best kept off the net :yes:

Awesome photos -- can we expect a video soon?

Have driven that a few times in a truck, but the bike looks LOTS more fun.

Yeah, going to start working on it this weekend. We've done three trips of the SS in the last year, so lots of footage.

A bunch of it is GoPro footage which I haven't used in videos much - that's going to be interesting to play will. I put the GoPro on a couple different places of the truck like you did in the video you showed me.

I am looking forward to moto-camping along this coastline this winter.

It's been asked before ....

1) what is the approximate mileage from Santa Rosaliita to Catavina?

2) Closest gas to SR?

Thanks in advance :coolup:

The closest gas stations would be at LA Bay or Jesus Maria. The closest gas is out of cans at the LA Bay turnoff.

It's approx. 130 miles from Santa Rosalillita to Catavina by way of the coast.

Ged, the timing of your trip is close to my plans, so maybe Bailey and I could haul gas and gear for you again.



If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

FOUND IT...

http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=90181&page=2 Thanks DK:saint:


Gary,
I am not sure when I am doing this ride.....maybe late November....but dunno

Several Nomads have expressed interest in doing the trip, and most are in trucks....one big guy with chicken legs rides a bike and also is interested....I rode with him before for a week in Baja and we tolerated each other rather well :biggrin:

And I will be e-mailing them to update them with my present uncertainty soon.
I figure I will ride from Bahia Asuncion, take just under a week, and ride up and down , camping several nights at spots I like....

So , I will put the 5 gallon tank on bike which solves the gas issue....and rely on a Dromedary bag for water....a few cans of sardines and some TP, and I am set....:coolup:

We were able to get gas at the store in Santa Rosalitia on our way South. Might stay there on this years trip or keep on to GN if we are making good time? Awesome pictures JZ!
