Heading north

ch47pilot - 5-6-2020 at 10:03 AM

We plan to leave Los Cabos sometime in June to drive to WA state. Are there any problems finding open hotels in Sur or Norte?

Too early to tell.

Check back a few days before you leave. Be prepared to auto-camp.

Friends who drove from pescadero to San Diego stayed in a hotel in vizcaĆ­no. Had a good drive all the way. Check points were mostly waved through.

We'll be heading north next week. We're prepared to pitch a tent at Santa Inez (Catavina) but prefer a room at the new Los Pinos store/motel. We stayed there on the way south last October. Everything brand new, A/C, $40 if I remember correctly.

Good to know the hysteria has died down.

Lots of posts regarding the yurts in San Ignacio being open on TalkBaja.

Mr. DC 3 pilot, nice aircraft!! you are also on my list to contact. Just made the trip Cabo to San Diego. But my previous posts have been deleted or stopped. YOU are on my list to contact if I decide not to post my report due to my controversial attempt to stop the politics on this site.

We took it slow. 2 night in the peninsula.

I read this morning that Rice and Beans in San Ignacio is open.

Does anyone know if the Sentri lanes in TJ are open?

Major difference between a Ch47 and a C40 (DC3). The way I read it he is a pilot of a CH47. We used to call them Chinooks and are helicopters. Got us in and out of serious trouble to many times to count. Maybe I'm a dinosaur and things have changed.

Yurt place is open. Confirmed this morning for my stay there in a week. Shhhh!

Have made a booking at Coral Marina in Ensenada for the next night. Don't know if they will actually be open or not.

If Baja Norte is still closed, am going to do Hwy 9 and get over the border to Calexico. Hotels are open there.

David K - 5-23-2020 at 09:57 AM

Yurt place is called Ignacio Springs Bed & Breakfast
Not Hwy 9... Hwy. 5 goes to the Calexico border.

Sorry meant 5.

Have a safe trip!

Wow, good to see you guys here! I posted a guess where photo of Graham and his burro with you guys, and Porky Pig was used as a hint.

Porky Pig - 5-23-2020 at 06:13 PM

Graham's burro was a drunk. We are living the happy retired life
