I am planning to head So. sometime after the 18th of March. I can be flexible on dates. Would like a buddy-car. Am very familiar with Baja travel and will be hauling a 20' Bayrunner. Will return in Juneish before it gets too hot.

I am planning to drive to Loreto leaving Sacramento on April 5 and crossing into Mexico from San Diego on the 6th. I will be pulling a 26 ft MacGregor sailboat. I possible could leave one week earlier if this works for you.

I'm in Mulege ,my wife is driving down within the next few days, she would like to caravan. She is a very experienced Baja traveler, she has made the trip by herself but would prefer to caravan. We live Anaheim.

March 27 EARLY !

And.... another option,

Amigo Matt and I are crossing at SY 3/27 very early and hauling a trailer to La Paz. Two long days.... leave at dawn, stop at dark. Our dates are set.

I've made the run many times and we'd welcome your company (or any of other posters here). We won't be taking any risks, but we will be moving right along, at a good clip, on this trip.

Please U2U if interested.

Best,
djh

i don't mean to hijack the thread, but do any of you lucky travelers have room for a couple of pails of concrete sealer on your drive? it's a specialized sealer for stamped/tinted concrete not available in baja. they need to get somewhere in the la ribera area (even san jose/cabo area) and can be picked up by a buddy there.
buckets are sealed, new, with receipts, and come with gas money and customs cash.
i can get them to you anywhere in the san diego area, but they are currently in eastern san diego county near tecate.
thanks for the space to ask.

call this freight forwarder...

Map Cargo
8724 Approach Road
San Diego, CA 92154-7709
(619) 661-1858

send it to him...

he'll import it and ship it down on a truck
right to your house

you could pay with a credit card

it's pretty strict at the border right now
and there could be special rules with that "sealer"

someone carrying smething with restrictions could get screwed
