May 2026 Trip (14th to 18th)

Hey Nomads,
It is so great to get back to my beloved Baja... Especially since we got old and between finances and health issues for us (me: spinal fusion this year)!

I will be riding with my friend Dave W. in the Baja Bound sponsored Toyota Tundra... This will be very much like last year, but for two additional; days, as we are traveling further south... San Borja mission and L.A. Bay/ Las Flores.

Again, we will be hitting up historic locations and other points of interest I have been to, but some over 25 year ago! It is great fun to compare old with current photos. Back on Monday (hopefully!)

See last year's (multi-part) trip report here on Nomad or the condensed photo album: www.vivabaja.com/baja-525

I hope to create another detailed trip report for the sites we are going to try and checkout, between Puertecitos and Las Flores.

If you see the big, white Tundra with big Baja Bound and now a Toyotas in Baja stickers on the side, give us a wave or stop to say hi.

La Bocana Beach, El Rosario


San Judas Onyx, south of Puertecitos

I hope you have a great time visiting Baja! Have you already had your spinal surgery? I had spinal fusion of my L5/S1 disc (IYKYK) back in 2015, and it made quite the difference. During the last few years, I couldn't sit in a chair for more than an hour at a time, which made driving - something I love to do - quite challenging. Post-surgery, I still need to listen to my body when it tells me to take a break and stretch or at least move around. And I found that even though I am 99% pain-free, I have to think twice before lifting something heavy. In any case, ¡Buen viaje!

I am all packed and ready to go... around noon Dave will pick me up. He has Starlink in the Tundra, so I will be able to answer questions or give reports, from the road.
