Driving my Van FR: WA. I5 S to Loreto (Soon)

Plans change...!

I just bought a very nice Conversion Van that I will be driving to loreto:

Departing Coeur d'Alene / Spokane - most likely Dec. 26.
I90 / 395 to I84 / Portland.
I5 South to San Diego, Crossing TJ Dec. 28 or 29 (VERY early AM)
Toll Road / 1 to Loreto, Arrive Dec. 29 or 30.

4 VERY long days from my home, weather permitting, or 5 if the pass is slow or I decide to slow the pace a little. 2 days from SD to Loreto. I'm a very safe driver, and a bit of a road warrior ~ I still love the Baja skyline, air, and drive !

I can take a passenger - possibly 2 - share expenses.

Also willing to caravan S. from SD / TJ.

U2U.
Best,
djh

Dates might flex a little.

AND :light:

If you're driving back north from or through Loreto, and would like a rider & gas share, please let me know.... Air seats are impossible ! :no:

If your plans change and you are crossing on 1/2, I can catch up to you. I'm driving from Tacoma Wa, plan on sleeping in a motel in San Ysidro New Years Night, then early AM TJ crossing. Mex auto insurance policy starts 1/1
Need caravan.... I guess.

We are planning to depart Mt. Shasta on the 27th.
We may be late, we are likely also going to be running slower than you in the states. We're planning to o'nite as far south of Sacto as we can get on 27, then o'nite at the border 28th. go for Catavina for the next night and Campo Serena Bahia Asuncion the 4th. night.

I think we'd welcome laid back company through Otay, 2000, and for our first day.

can you u2u me with details of when you'll be in south san diego. i lost a bet and i must pay-up to Shari. i'm sure she'd prefer to not have to wait until next summer. i work near SD airport and can meet you anytime nearby during the week or closer to the border on fri-sun.

You two..... You !

Wow.... I may not be good, but at least I'm slow.... (one of my lines from my bartender career =).

I U2U'd you, WoodyWAVe.... but I see you were requesting that of Vgabndo.

Too much work tends to cloud the mind ! ! ! ! :no:
