Will be headed on an "epic" (okay, okay, epic for me) baja trip up and down the peninsula for 8 weeks. My previous trips have all been 1 week or less
and have never given me the chance to explore many areas of baja that have been on my "to do" list.
My wife and I and our golden retriever (Rusty) will begin on the SOC side. First stops will be my "usual" haunts, Gonzaga and BOLA (will be staying at
Villa Bahia), then a night at San Borja before heading to Asuncion (new destination for me). From there we will be more free forming it (may head to
La Bocana before returning to the 1 and possible stops at Punta Chivato, Santa Rosalia, Mulege and Concepcion before getting to Loreto (1 week there)
and then to La Paz where we will be going on a Kayak circumnavigation of Espiritu Santos with Baja Outdoor Adventures.
Then a couple of weeks of exploring the southern tip before my kids fly-in for Thanksgiving at La Ventana (my son will be kiteboarding).
And after Thanksgiving it will be a trip back up the peninsula.
I will post trip reports and photos along the way ... and be using this forum for information along the way!bajabass - 9-30-2011 at 08:56 AM
preston, U2U me when you get to La Paz. My collie Winston would love a playmate for a while. Come on over for a beer and a swim!!! Have a great trip.
You are going to love the kayak trip for surepreston - 9-30-2011 at 09:02 AM
Definitely. Check your U2U.Pacifico - 9-30-2011 at 09:05 AM
You should have a great trip! 8 weeks? I'm jealous! I was at Villa Bahia and San Borja in May on our trip. We thought it would be neat to camp up
there at San Borja, it's really peaceful up there. Be sure to explore and see how they water with their canal system - it's really cool. Have fun and
I look forward to pics of your trip!Von - 9-30-2011 at 09:05 AM

fossil hunting, and other fun things to do.bajabass - 9-30-2011 at 09:28 AM

We also have 7 more sleeps until we leave on our journey to BOLA. We will only be there for 2 weeks, we wish it was longer but husband still has to
work. As he tells me 1200+ days to retirement......then Bola for 9 months. Ww hope you have a very safe and enjoyable trip. I will post a fishing
report if our internet works.woody with a view - 9-30-2011 at 04:21 PM

while in loreto get on a panga and get out to isle coronado. Its beautiful! the same boat could run you to the north west side of isle carmen for some
cool snorkeling. Lots of boats and much variation in the cost, if youll be there a week, youll have time to work out a fun day at a cheap price.shari - 10-4-2011 at 01:04 PM
