Where in Ensenada??

bajamigo - 12-16-2007 at 06:30 PM

Starbucks on Costero, naturally.

bajaguy - 12-16-2007 at 06:39 PM

Amigo, thought you had better taste.....I vote for D'Volada......have you tried the new coffee spot by Ashley Furniture???

capt. mike - 12-17-2007 at 06:38 AM

hey baja bird, see you at the bar. i'll be there but not eating dinner.
we'll be cooking out on the patio or maybe at Ray's new place.

bajabird - 12-17-2007 at 07:55 AM

for those that know me..... I shouldnt be drinking COFFEE.

Mike see yah at the bar; What is "Ray's new place"? Did I miss something since I was in Loreto last week?

Anyways, since I am traveling with my girlfriend, a safer trip is better with more than one vehicle.... hence the caravan down through the toll-roads area, and on down south.

Caravan to Mulege in one day in daylight in winter, what are you driving a prerunner? :?:

Driving a pre-runner? Me? No? It's a race donkey :-)

Pig roast isnt until 7:30 or so, i'm really not in any hurry, never am in baja (accept when I am actually racing). I don't advocate going fast on the highway at all. (not saying that i havent sped, not saying that i have).

Actually for caravanning is for the after border crossing onto ensenada. I go south often, with all the recent problems I thought to be nice and ask if anyone wants to travel in convoy for more safety.

Tom, you and Deb have a safe trip down... (Not sure about the Lobster at Mama 's?)
Enjoy Loreto..are you down through the 1st?

Slow down at the "Bars":lol

Here's our schedule for Saturday...leave house in SD at 4:00am..hit border about 20 minutes later..pick up FMTs and leave TJ by 5:00am. Three more stops after that...El Rosario for gas, tamales at Jesus y Maria, and gas at Vizcaino. Should arrive in Asunion about 5 or 6 pm.

If any of this meets your schedule, let me know. We'll be driving a silver Toyota Truck with a shell and an Autohome on top.

Happy Holidays!

hey Zac, sounds like my normal crossing time. after all the post of problems, and those that i know havent been posted... I thought about going otay mesa route (at daybreak) to ensenada, and now we are just going to guerro negro for our first travel day.

Tijereta; Deb will be flying out xmas day, i will stay days to fish then come back to the states for new years. will you be in lto?

bajabird - 12-21-2007 at 12:45 PM

I decided to go ahead with slightly altered normal plans and will cross at TJ tomorrow morning around daybreak.

God bless all for happy and safe travels
