We Hope to be worthy new members here!
First post (long time lurker).
So my dad and I used to go to San Felipe when I was a teenager and sleep on the beach with the fishermen around the malecon.
We are from Kentucky but moved to San Diego when I was 16.
I'm 42 now.
My wife and kids have never been to Baja. (we live in St. George, UT since 2005)
My wife ("Kentucky Kim") and I are heading south to stay in the south campos... km 36 or so.. with our 5 kids.
we leave June 1 and are staying for 60 days. We hope to give good reports, post great pics, and make friends here.

Hello Mannings and welcome to the forum. I, too, am a reverse snow bird spending summers in San Felipe. It is hot there and can be humid in July and
August, but not as humid as it is in the Southern US in the summer. I actually enjoy being there in the summer when things are slower. I'm sure that
you all will have a wonderful time there. San Felipe has grown since you were last there, but is still a wonderful small town. Enjoy.
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!

Have a safe trip. Hope to see some pictures of your adventures. Oh, and don't drink the water! In Portland OR I mean. The news says they have
ecoli in it and they must boil it. So uncivilized and violent north of the border.

That's a great Baja rig! Are you going to camp, stay in a Motel, rent a
house, or a combination? How far south of San Felipe will you be going?

We rented a house on the beach about 25 miles south of San Felipe. We also have a Jack Rabbit tent trailer with dune buggy and plan to camp around a
bit as well.
Might head into the interior a bit as my passion in archaeology and Spanish history (I'm treading lightly here..)
**and thanks for all the warm welcomes!**
(can't say it surprises me, though, for folks that are baja nuts)

Great intro and what a wonderful picture of the family!
I bet Baja is an archeologists dream....remember all the desert to- DOs if you go inland or anywhere
LOTS OF WATER. SNACKS. LOTS OF WATER
