OK DK...ya got me.

vgabndo - 3-3-2008 at 08:08 PM

I should be seeing those signs on Sunday morning. We had a little 40 minute ride this past Sunday before putting the bikes in the trailer, and on the north side of a little saddle we ended the ride with about a mile winding downhill through the trees on a dirt road with an inch of fresh snow on an ice base. It will be a joy to dodge pot holes in Baja.

Conejo sign

An old favorite when passing through Ensenada.

Pompano - 3-4-2008 at 11:02 AM

We always looked forward to stopping here for a coffee roll or pastry for the road. Nothing like a bakery, no matter where you are.

Anyone know is this place is still there? It's on the Malecon street near downtown tourists shops.

edit: p.s. I really LOVE those sugar-coated crisps shaped like a big heart. They crumble all over your lap, too. :yes:

Thanks for sharing all of these Baja signs.... it would be hard to pick what I think is the best one. I really like Ken Bondy's "No Tire Basura" image - it makes you laugh and cry at the same time. Powerful!

Bielefeld - 3-15-2008 at 10:12 PM

Years ago in La Paz at the old "Lapalapa" Restaurant, now the "Racing Club" was a sign saying:

We don't speak English, but we won't laugh about your Spanish!

My most recent favorite...

amir - 3-15-2008 at 11:05 PM

SmartWater, 151 or 152?

Home Depot, Cabo San Lucas. March 2008.

And does "NO REGRESE" mean something like "NO RETURNS?

Gives me great confidence in this product...

I think we should take a vote on the best sign...I loved the off-beaten path sign and the lower your standards signs best...and I've always loved the DONT LEAVE ROCKS ON THE ROAD signs around here. this should be a book for sure.

Only in Baja....

Dern grew up in Santa Maria, where a large percentage of the community is made up of migrant farm workers. SMAT - Santa Maria Area Transit was better known as Spreading Mexicans Around Town. It's interesting to see a SMAT bus operating in Mulege.
