Here are some pics of a cool camp spot we stayed for the night. We did this trip in march of 2007.
We crossed in Tecate and drove the dirt track to Laguna Hanson. We then headed south staying in the mountains and decended the summit road to thd
desert floor. Once at the bottom we took the pole line road and camped one night along the road. The next day we finished the trail and reached Hwy 5
and headed home

You are in for a surprise! Baja's variety of climates in such a small area is one of the fascinating aspects of the peninsula!
This photo was taken less than 40 miles (as the crow flys) west of San Felipe!
John and David K I am in awe of the beautiful places of Baja I never new existed. Someday when things slow down for me I will get out and see them.castaway$ - 1-2-2008 at 11:49 PM
Wow another side of Baja, Just goes to show there is so much to explore. It's great to be part of this site and have an opportunity to discover new
areas to explore.BajaTrooper - 1-3-2008 at 12:52 PM

John, what do you elevate your tents on. Very cool system, and a great capsite to boot!
Do a search under "cots".....it's the Cabella's DeLuxe Tent Cot, about $169

Bajaguy----------those cot/tents look super, and a lot cheaper than one of those root-top clamshell sleepers that cost over $2K----------how do you
like them, and how long to set up and take down?? and are they for one person each only??
barrybajaguy - 1-3-2008 at 07:10 PM
They are real nice. takes about 3 minutes to set up or take down. Just throw a sleeping pad and bag inside, add a LED light and a Pacifico..... you
can read and be snug as a bug!!!!
They make a single size and a double size. The double size is great for one, plenty of room...but would be REAL cozy for two!!!john - 1-3-2008 at 09:12 PM
I own a roof tent and a tent cot. Both are nice but the tent cot is much better in the wind. I park my jeep as wind block and set up the tent cot on
the opposite side. There is no getting away from the wind in a roof tent.

John, that looks like el Calabozo, just above Palomar canyon? ,My friend just came from a week end in la Laguna and he was told by one of the
ranchers, not to wonder around that section there supposed to be some drug runs by people that grow pot in those areas,this is just word of mouth,
don't know if its true..john - 1-3-2008 at 09:46 PM
Bajacat that spot is the vacant house on the cliff between San Felipe and Gonzaga bay. I am sure you must know this spotjohn - 1-3-2008 at 09:51 PM

No John I meant the firts picture..john - 1-4-2008 at 08:11 AM
Bajacat my mistake. I just checked my map that is the area just above palomar. We wandered around many of the trails back there and stumbled onto this
green valley. The next morning we continued on the trail and found ourselves on the inside of a locked gate next to a ranch. I felt then we were in an
area we probably should not have been
john - 1-4-2008 at 08:14 AM
David what is the story on that house? I was by there last april and there was a for sale sign on it
