The Baja California peninsula on a budget


I am looking forward to exploring the Baja California peninsula starting this weekend. However, I am a student of modest means; I must exercise frugality at every opportunity. I have a question pertaining to the vultures that are abundant throughout the peninsula. Are they any good?

Although vultures might not be as tasty as desired they may be useful in guiding you to fresh road kill. Ofcourse shooing a hungry vulture away might be somewhat hazardous but could be worth the effort.

I thought you might've meant those timeshare salespeople....

Natalie Ann... wonderful photo... thanks for sharing. Personally, I would not eat them unless I skinned them, cleaned them out REAL good and smoked them over apple wood on my Weber! Now you're talk'n.

If you're a lawyer, you could try "professional courtesy" and just ask the vultures to move off the road kill.

Just ask yourself--" Why would I eat anything that subsists off human/animal fecal waste?????Hot infected roadkill!!!!Rotten Fish!!! You will absorb microbes and pass them onto that could be in the form of disease to other humans! And yourself!!! You can do no better than rice and beans and tortillas.So do as the Mexicans do.Its cheap.:?:

Bob and Ken - thanks for the photo kudos.
There was no reason to consider eating these guys... in the road nearby were two horses, freshly killed by some unlucky person's vehicle. Yum!:rolleyes::biggrin:

Packoderm,

I would suggest a diet of bacon wrapped hot dogs. Cheap and filling. I like the melted cheese on mine.
