Dos Amigos do Baja
Day one, today (2/27). Eleven hour drive from Nor Cal to Tecate. Made it over the grape vine before the next storm. Doing all of this on my phone, so
forgive my typos!
I will try to post daily.

Not the cheapest room in Baja at (130 US $ ) a night, but clean and close to the border.

Great pictures AV.
It is cold down here in Mulege this year too. A $130 a night for a hotel, life is good 😎

Thanks everyone. Woke up to a nice wet ground from the rain last night. Going to be cool this morning but no dust! We will be riding much of the Baja
divide route today. We will have extra stuff with us incase we see any bicycle in route.
The room was very comfortable and we had a coffee maker in room as well as coffee in the lobby. Worth the money in my opinion.

Good timing on getting out of NorCal. I am in Nevada County at about 2400 feet and it is Snowmagedon all over again!
It has been snowing for three days, roads are closed or clogged, power is out for almost half of the county. As of 6:00 there were 111 separate
damage reports affecting over 17,000 service connections.
Think of me while you are grinning in the sunshine! 
Edit; The amount of snow locally would not have been such a problem except for the wind that it came in with. Trees are the main problem.

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!

Day one.,. Cold, wet, snow and mud,mud,mud! Only made a 170 miles and ended up at Cal's. We were trying for Catavina.
Pictures later today when we get better service.

Thanks DizzyNick. Made it to El Rosario today, all highway. Way to much slick mud to ride any dirt. The hiway wasn't much better with its layer or red
clay in every town! Nice meal and room at Cal's last night. Baja cactus tonight.
A few pictures of yesterday's mud fest.

Some more of day one. We were not playing in the mud puddle like 3 year olds. KTM Nate decided to deposit it in the mud while he was washing his bike.
We knew it was in there because it was still playing music to his helmet as rode away!

Sorry for the double pictures, very hard posting with my phone.
Hang in there, more to come.
Day two was all highway. It was cover with a nice layer of red clay all the way to El Rosario.

325 miles today, Baja cactus to San Ignacio. No rain or mud to report! Dinner in the square next to the ice cream shop. Very good food. Breakfast at
chapala, also very good.

Hey Rider, sweet trip so far.
I think you were traveling. Can you look at my question regarding Hagy Mesa:

I haven't ridden that track but have everything around it. I also watched some video on it and it didn't look bad. I would do it on my 700 and really
enjoy it on my 500.
