Some Baja Essentials

Ateo - 12-24-2013 at 07:32 PM

Merry Christmas Eve all. A random picture I took while packing for Baja shows a few Baja essentials. My favorite is the green licorice.

OK Perry. You trying to outdo me bro? :LOL::lol:

Are you heading South soon?

Bigger toys, over compensation?:

If my pharmacy and bank cooperate, I hope to be rolling before New Years.

Glad to see the SPOT, it can be your best friend.

Not everyone can afford a nice trailer to haul their toys

That's funny Bob. Sometimes I feel like I pack like that. I really like my burro. Four shocks, a torsion bar, and 3500 lb. axle with electric brakes, 16" 10 ply tires and a 5500 lb. hitch. It tows like a dream, and is soft enough to haul eggs!

I once hauled all the framing and roofing for a 7 x 8 foot bodega to San Nicolas' concealed as a 48" tall "camper shell" on that trailer. (13 - 2x4 rafters and multiple layers of corrugated roofing and siding!) It was so top heavy that is when I added two shocks positioned perpendicular to the line of travel.:lol::lol::lol:

My Landsailer weighs less than 100 lbs., the re-purposed lumber rack is heavier!. It should be a trouble-free load unlike when I put my small Landsailer on top of my cab-over a couple years ago and tore down an electrical line at the fisherman's beach at La Bocana!!

yeah, word of the gringo who took out the abalone hatchery traveled at light speed!:lol:

vgabndo - 12-25-2013 at 07:49 PM

Word that I had actually taken out a notoriously low #14 strand of Romex feeding the PORCH LIGHT on the pump house was a lot slower getting around!
The same dude who took my license and ran the abalone farm scam later sold me a tee shirt with the pocket logo printed on the right rear shoulder. I looked at a medium and liked the shirt, he sold me a rolled-up mis-printed large. Quite a slick customer.

Quite a careless gringo!:bounce::bounce:
