Ciudad Constitucion Police Station / Traffic Court

A sign you DON'T want to see as you follow the police officer (carrying your driver's license) to the police station. Ciudad Constitucion, Highway 1, July 2010.

The first time I was stopped (unjustly), I paid the mordida ($10, $5 for each officer) and headed south.

This second time (also unjustly), I demanded to see "the judge" before heading North. For arguing my innocence and that he was wrong (in his mind, a liar), the officer added a second charge of "resisting." I'd rather pay the fine to the "court" (a guy in a short sleeve shirt behind a desk in a plain old office) than line the pockets of crooked cops. The fines were reduced to a whopping $18.

Yes, they're once again stopping people, for various reasons. I'm using the parallel dirt streets the next time. So as not to be angry about this on the subsequent long drive, I simply put on my happy face and pretended it was a "toll" for using their street. Ugh!

Note that somewhere on this forum was a thread about traffic stops in Ciudad Constitucion.

Los Cabos Clothing Optional

This sign I like. Seen at a campground in Los Cabos. July 2010. Also saw it posted at a beach. Send me a private e-mail if you want more information about the locations.

Cabo San Lucas Humane Society

A good sign. A good place to do some volunteer work. They really need on-going help twice per day walking dogs.

"No, no, no" said the sign installation supervisor ...

"No, no, no" said the sign installation supervisor ... "I said lay down the OLD sign and install the NEW sign, not lay down the new sign and preserve the old sign."

Yuk, yuk.



Turn off near Palo Verde between Santa Rosalia & Mulege. July 2010.

Mex Highway Zero

Baja BCS, Highway-0, Mex-0

The sign is OK. It's the location I don't want to be/see

The sign is OK. It's the location I don't want to be/see. I think that I'll just skip this little side trip just 300 meters ahead. The prison a few kilometers south of Santa Rosalia.

This is an awful sign ...

... if you're headed northbound:
Tijuana 1481 Km
Ensenada 1373 Km

El Centenario, just north of La Paz. May 2010.

BajaFun is always a good sign ...

... but a reallllllly long drive. Baja Fun North Carolina (NC) license plate.

Cactus Sanctuary

Hmmmm. I gotta think about this one. No feet. No fins. No wings. How are they gonna get across the border to the sanctuary???

Or maybe they're worried about them getting away? Good thing they put up a fence.

Oh, now I get it. Theft! They're worried about people stealing cactuses. Cacti? Whatever. I'll just run in there and grab me one as a curio. Thorns and all.

Tope on a washboard dirt road ???

Okay. I need help with this one.
Will someone please tell me why there's a speed bump on a dirt road totally washboard rough where you cannot drive more than 10 mph?

East Cape road. June 2008.

OK, I'm supposed to what at this traffic signal?

Captions needed --- comments welcome.
Transpeninsular highway westbound into Cabo San Lucas.
If you've spent any time driving around here, you'll learn this one real fast. And know not to screw it up. Divided highway with a "frontage" road.

Good luck. Best caption gets a fish taco. Make sure you've got insurance before you start.

A Good Sign: Policia de los Cabos K9 Unit

I think this is a good sign? THOUGHTS & COMMENTS WELCOME.

Police K-9 Unit in San Jose del Cabo & Cabo San Lucas.
The Cape and canines sure have come a long way since the 1980's with respect to dogs and cultural issues related to canines.

David, perhaps this should be a new topic / new thread??

I think this is a good sign? REPRISE

Redneck welcome basket.
Villa del Palmar. May 2010. Cabo San Lucas.
THOUGHTS & COMMENTS WELCOME.

Pemex Annex

Mid-peninsula choices if you don't gas up at the last Pemex.

The Ubiquitous "Abierto"

Yes, we're always open. Come on in.

Not really a "sign" --- FOOTPRINTS in the sand

Will somebody please explain to me how this was done? Note the area immediately left & right is clear of footprints. Santa Rosalallita. May 2010.

Old School vs. New School: Puerto San Carlos

Which sign do you like better???

Jesus Pharmacy

Just an interesting photo ... Farmacia Jesus. Generic or name brand.

Distance to Tijuana Border Crossing to Playas de Rosarito

Okay, you need to pay attention. Maybe even do some math.
How many of you have noticed this series of three signs when driving south on the "scenic" (toll) road from Tijuana to Rosarito Beach?

Image 1 ... the toll booth
Image 2 ... Rosarito Beach 18 Km (immediately after the toll booth)
Image 3 ... Rosarito Beach 20 Km (2 Km after the previous sign)
Image 4 ... Rosarito Beach 12 Km (4 Km after the previous sign)

???

The Toll Booth



Rosarito Beach 18 Km (immediately after the toll booth)



Rosarito Beach 20 Km (2 Km after the previous sign)



Rosarito Beach 12 Km (4 Km after the previous sign)

You choose - in Rosarito

Ken had so much experience with immigration he became un abogado!

Bad dog! Looks like Hersey Kisses and Tootsie Rolls!

Looks like we will have to wait for the combo plate till they rebuild. (The restaurant recently burnt down.)

one of my favorites!!

Yep. It means the drive is over and it's time to relax. ( )

I've grown really fond of that place over the years.

Bornfisher I don't get it! Apples, oranges and melons? Oh wait a minute

You've all probably seen this one:

No tail at home

The second I'm guessing is San Isidro?

The first would be Santo Tomas.

Blatant advertising? Or rave review?

Club Cabo ... I didn't see this right away until I was editing some images from last year and updating my Baja website.

Graffiti? Blatant advertising? Or rave review?

I lived here for 2 months in 2010 but it wasn't me!

On a serious note, however, it was a VERY cool place to stay and chill for several months while I lived & job-hunted in Cabo. Martin & Irene are great hosts and the place offers variety for campers, RV'ers, transcontinental motorcycle-surfers & even people on horses or burros.
