Nice report Defrag4. Interesting to know how much, actually little you spend during that trip. How many days was it?



The grass is always greener....
and so, there is always a better spot in Baja

GREAT REPORT


Reminded me of my first trips to Baja in the mid-70's. Slept in the back of a rusty 63 Chevy PU....when your young that is ALL you need.

Thanks and look forward to more!

I forgot to mention 2 things - there is an amazing book titled ENCHANTED VAGABONDS (Dana Lamb) about a couple in the 30's who spent years traveling Baja and Mexico and other ports in a small boat - kayak - sailboat they built. Their adventures are hair raising ... and their love of Mexico palpable.

And secondly, we just got back from mainland Mexico (6 weeks) and while it is the opposite of Baja since it is sub-tropical and lush green, it is no less amazing - there are pyramids everywhere, there are some indian tribes who don't speak Spanish, the beaches are as beautiful as Baja beaches, mountains with snow, food like grasshoppers and worms and ants, unique arts and crafts .... sure worth a trip one day too !!

Thanks. Looks like you had just one heck-of-a time down there.

Will you please do my road trip write ups? :yes:

You are excellent with this. What a fun post this was to read. More next year perhaps?
