Road Trip from San Diego to East Cape for May need convoy mates

IslandAngler - 3-19-2011 at 08:31 AM

I am planning to drive from San Diego to the East Cape of Baja in May. I will be driving solo and would like to hook up with a caravan /convoy if possible. If there is anyone out there that can help me get past Ensenada and to the south I would appreciate it. I was thinking of staying for 6 weeks.

I'm heading south on May 28........I'll be heading to at Least LA BAY

IslandAngler - 3-19-2011 at 06:33 PM

Thanks Yellowklr; 5/28 is too late for me. I'm thinking of going down the first week in May or there abouts. And return second week in June.

Thanks Soulpatch; I might be able to delay till 5/15. But no later. Last year the fishing was off a bit, and I missed a good bight by a week. ...Like a good restaurant, you don't want to be late and find out they are out of the house special.... The water temp. is suppost to be high this season. So the fish may be in early. I don't want to miss it. We'll see. Thanks Again:

Just hop in the car and go...I drove it today/yesterday for the 30th plus time and once again no issues. the only thing that peed me off was seeing a caravan of 20 RV's.

Just cross the border 1st thing in the am and watch for the cuota/scenic signs. when you cross the border go all the way to the right, before crossing...it'll help as you need to be in the right lane quick to make the scenic turnoff.

Bajahowodd - 3-20-2011 at 04:06 PM

Geez. I meant a single vehicle! The wife, sometimes the kids, or friends. Just no convoy.!:lol::lol:

Or were you throwing a metaphor at me?:lol::lol:

fishabductor - 3-20-2011 at 04:09 PM

just playing with words...nothing more. :saint:

BajaBlanca - 3-20-2011 at 05:19 PM

anyone coming south past the exit to punta abreojos, PLEASE bring something for the new 2011 La Bocana Skateboard club and leave it at the restaurant right at the turnoff (Nuevo El Cruzero) ... any skateboard, any size, any shape is FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!!!!

In April, this new skateboard club will start the cleanup of this turnoff ....you'll be pleasantly surprised when we're done !!

damn it...why didn't you mention this earlier. I would have brought you a pile of skate gear. I drove in yesterday and won't be back north anytime in the distant future. I have a bunch of skater friends, who would hook up the groms.

IslandAngler - 3-21-2011 at 08:43 PM

Yikes!!! I'm just looking for a little help, for saftey sake. I just want to catch Fish thats all.

BajaBlanca - 3-22-2011 at 03:21 PM

don't worry fishabductor !!!! whenever you get back up will be absolutely fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't mention it earlier because I think everyone needed a break from the holiday season overload ....

Thanks Antonio for holding onto skateboards that were dropped off at Baja Cactus for La Bocana for over a month, til yesterday !!!!!!!! YOU THE MAN !!!!!!!!!!! Deveras, muchas gracias ....

I'll send an email up north and see if I can get the boys to get a pile of gear ready, interested in stickers and clothes too? I have been a snowboarder/skateboarder since day 1, I started snowboarding at Mt Baker the first yr they allowed it, they were the first MT to open to shredheads. The snowboard/skate crowd is pretty tight, and I am sure I can round up some gear for the kids. Do they have a skatepark? Can you send me photos of it so I can show the boys up north, many of them build skateparks for a living.

The gear would be in seattle, so if anyone could help deliver it, that would be great as I will not be driving back/forth next time around. I only did this time as I bought a truck to bring down.

BajaBlanca - 3-22-2011 at 03:52 PM

oh yes, stickers and clothes, oh yes yes yes ...

we are going to have a ramp built, the local newly elected officials (one is a personal friend) promised to pay for it and we have 2 volunteers to build it ... (one is a guy from Bahia Asuncion - he built theirs).

fishabductor, where in Baja are you (u can u2u me) ? I have a friend coming from Canada and maybe, just maybe, he can pick stuff up in Seattle in April when he comes down right to La Bocana. Wouldn't that be a hoot ?!!

1Bajalover - 4-1-2011 at 12:46 PM

Hi Angler;

Looks like my friend will be able to come with me and we will be leaving S F Bay Area on the 9th of May and most likely getting to the border on the 11th or 12th so this may not work for you ? (have to stay for Mother's Day because it is my BIG day (hopefully) -

shari - 4-1-2011 at 02:23 PM

Sirenita would be up for riding shotgun for ya anytime in early May...she has promised to be here for her 1st Mother's Day as a mother!!!! wooo hooo so she would be real thankfull for the lift...she's a great copilot!!!

BajaBlanca - 4-1-2011 at 04:44 PM

Sirenita would indeed be an excellent copilot. you couldn't ask for better !!

skateboards are rolling in (pun intended) slowly but surely ...

tiotomasbcs - 4-2-2011 at 07:33 PM

Hey Newbie. We are all a little off center and put up with deviations. You? Too cool? Don't think so! Whatever. Tio:coolup:
