Just got back to LA from a 10 day trip to Baja with my two boys (10 and 12) and a couple friends from Sonorora. We crossed at Mexicali and spent a
couple days in Gonzaga. Got the truck stuck in the deep sand and had to have the tractor from Rancho Grande pull us out.
We rode our bikes down to the Mex 1, stopping at CoCo's (towed a disabled vechile into CoCo's). Put the bikes on the truck and headed down to Bahia
de Los Angeles.
Did a couple good rides out of BoLA to La Gringa and Rincon. Rode to the top of La Gringa through a boulder field (that was tough after a couple
Pacificos).
We rode our Zodiac out to and around all the islands. Did a little swimming in the very chilly water. Let off a bunch of fireworks we bought in San
Felipe.
Headed up to the border and spent a night in Ensenada. Fun trip.

Looks like a killer trip, thanks for sharing!jbcoug - 4-27-2014 at 12:09 PM
I don't know who has the most fun on those trips, the boys or the dad. There certainly aren't any losers. Great job! Thanks for sharing. I'm very
envious.TMW - 4-28-2014 at 09:31 AM
The boys will always remember this trip. Great stuff, thanksBarry A. - 4-28-2014 at 09:51 AM
That beach that the "SS MINNOW" is wrecked on is the most beautiful swimming beach that I have ever visited in all of Baja. Pure white granitic
(clean) sand, and always calm waters. We always boat over to it on every visit to the BOLA.
Lots of interesting stuff to see up in the rocks there, too.
Great pictures.

Beach Bob once told me that years back some Sea Hagg had used the SS Minnow as a house of ill repute.watizname - 4-28-2014 at 04:14 PM
Now that's what a hamburger's all about. Those boys will never forget.
A side note: Those panties are a little scary. I think I'm gonna have nightmares about them. Ateo - 4-28-2014 at 05:45 PM

I heard the same story years ago, but not from Beach Bob. Added to the story was that many of the local fishermen would go over there until a man of a
darker color skin paid her a little visit. After the locals found out, they no longer paid her any visits which put her out of business.o3dave - 8-12-2014 at 01:37 PM
Great trip. Thanks for sharingBob H - 8-12-2014 at 02:11 PM

Great report!
What happened to the boy ruining from the Zodiac in, what looks like, pain?David K - 8-12-2014 at 10:11 PM
Thank you BajaNomad for fixing the photos to fit on the page! Great pics... in great places. Don Juan Cove is really neat (SS Minnow location)!Santiago - 8-13-2014 at 05:58 AM
The comment on the location of the SS Minnow may cause some confusion for new visitors. Here is the location of Don Juan Cove and the beach where the
Minnow is.

Thanks for the correction Jim, I remember seeing it well inside the cove...? Must have had sun stroke that day! ???
Is there another wreck on the beach in Don Juan?rts551 - 8-15-2014 at 07:43 AM
