Wow!! Whats with the big migration away from Camp Gecko??

That's precisely what it is Soulpatch - my brother just picked up a spot there - the guy that sold it already had a spot and really had no use for 2 of them.

Ha! Well what's the going space rent for boat storage then?

We are planning to head down in a couple weeks - should I stop by your place and get the keys to the boat? - sure would be better than hauling mine down! Maybe Beach Bob has a set - he seems to have keys to everything else down there....

Just how many 'Steves' have lots at Camp Gecko??? Bedman, 4baja, etc.

Martyman - 4-30-2008 at 08:34 AM

I've been impressed with how cool everyone is that I've met in camp. A guy in camp told me he just wants to work on his place (no permits!!) drive his quad into town (no license plate) while drinking a beer. If he gets pulled over in town it is because the cop wants a beer too!
Steve 55- good luck with your new place.
bajatracker-don't sell your place to any dumbas***

55steve - 4-30-2008 at 11:40 AM

No worries - we may be down at that time but we won't be bringing a boat - just need to check things out so we know what we need when we venture down for an extended stay.

How did you get to post a photo of your boat (your avatar) under your name? I've been trying to do that with one of my photos under my name but have been unsuccessful.
Thanks for your help? :bounce:

Would love to hear your stories from Baja before pavement!

Here's a photo of the 'main road' through Laguna Chapala, June, 1973 before pavement! :lol:

My dad had just sold his 4WD Suburban and this was his brand new Ford LTD wagon on its first Baja trip!

Udo - 5-2-2008 at 09:15 AM

:wow:

As my time permits, and questions come up, I'll post some of my travels from 40+years ago within the BAJA peninsula.
I started driving the peninsula in 1966 and my first trip to La Paz and Cabo was a pre-run for the 1000. Since that time, I raced the Baja 3 times. This last year we had a reunion with other famous racers that was called "40 YEARS OF BAJA." Biggest discussion was the improvements in suspension. Back then we were all solo drivers, little or no sponsorship, and a couple of friends to rely on for help.
Mexico 1 was part of the course, rather than a crossing point. Mexico 1 was also partially paved and the pot holes swallowed an entire tire, so one really had to slow down in the towns (Ejidos). Gas was pumped into a glass tower and then fed into your gas tank via gravity. After a few fill-ups that included some water in it we learned to use a shammy to strain the gas as it was dumped into our tanks. Later we learned that isopropyl alcohol absorbs water and mixes with the fuel. Since those times, I drove with my Jeep club many times every possible route to Cabo and back. First we went all dirt road southbound on the west coast. We went on pavement only when we had to and to purchase gas. Then we went down the gulf side only on dirt. The return trips to the border were on Mexico 1. The gulf side was more agreeable to driving on the dirt southbound because of less detours from lagoons, cliffs, mountains, etc. Most of the Ejidos and major cities have not changed much since those days. Since the jeep days several of us did a west coast sail on Hobie cats. Now I'm into kayaks and I'm trying to work something out with other kayakers for a yak trip down either the west coast or the gulf side.
I'll post some more stuff until I get my 25 posts and be able to have my own avatar undr my name.

I bet you got a lot good stuff udo Winkler My family from Baja love to hear

about everything, thanks for sharing....Von

Udo - 5-3-2008 at 10:32 AM

Hola, Von...
that almost sound German, as I am, but migrated to Venezuela with my parents for 16 years. Then came to the US back in 1963. I am fluent in Spanish as well as 4 other languages. Most Baja residents I speak with think I am a gringo, but once I tell them that my Spanish is so fluent because I am from Venezuela, they treat me as one of their own. When we move to BAJA permanently, we plan on towing an enclosed trailer with a 4X4, and I am already aware what campsites we plan to stay at that are capable of accomodating a 45' RV. We plan on flying three flags on a flag pole once parked: Mexican, Venezuelan, and German. That should generate many new friends at the campsites. Besides it is general protocol to always fly the hosting country's flag atop all others.
Here is an idea that no one in BAJANOMAD has discussed:
When dry camping (i.e. no water or sewer), why not purchase one of those black water storage tanks and mount it on a small tower next to your RV and have one of the mobile water trucks that sell the potable water to homes and businesses come by and fill up your water tank every so often? :wow:

The same can be done with the propane vendors...they fill up homes and businesses regularly. Why not buy or rent an apropriate size tank from them and arrange for regular service? :biggrin:

The last idea is a little tougher because you'll probably have to chase down one of the septic tank truck cleaners/pumpers (they are all over the peninsula) as I am not aware of such a business that one can walk up to (say in Mulege), and you can arrange for the pumper to come by and regularly empty your holding tanks. One will probably have to supply their own hose adapters and hose clamps, but that is a service that no one in Baja has ever thought of :yes:

We have been planning for any and all possibilities once we move there, and moving a portable house number (large RV) is not easy in some of the narrow confines of the peninsula. Yes, it will be easier to park our butts in an RV park, but beachfront is our thing, particularly when it comes to kayaks, and beachfront RV parks are few and far between. We have traveled BAJA for over 40 years and made friends with hundreds of locals (part of it is my Spanish, but the other is that I always travel with lots of gifts for the residents we meet, things like t-shirts, hats, knives, cooking utensils, kid's toys, bicycles, school supplies, medical & hygenic supplies, etc.) It is customary in Latin tradition to return a token when accepting a gift from a stranger, but in most instances we humbly decline the token because these people have very little, however, we have accepted, when appropriate, some fresh seafood or home-made meals in order to satisfy the obligation of the families.
