Leaving latter October
Plan on crossing at Tecate then heading over to Mex 1. Stopping at El Trailero for grub then on to either Cueva Pirata in Camalu or San Quintin area
for the first night camping. Second day drive to Bahía Asunción. Driving in my one ton GMC 4X4 diesel with an Alaskan camper. Not yet firm on
departure date so shoot me a U2U if interested.

There is a secure campground next to Jardines in San Quintin that might work for you.
Jardines Restaurant has always been reliable for good food and a lively family crowd of moms and pops and kids. I tend to eat earlier and have no
idea about the bar crowd later in the evening.
Safe travels. Vaya bien.

I've left the last week of October for the last 15 years or so. It was a good time for me and you get to bypass the 1000 prerunners by a small margin.
It always seemed really mellow. However, things have changed... You'll have plenty of folks heading down now to beat the crowds that generally start
in November. I'm sure you'll be able to tag up with someone. Good luck!
In that pre-Google Earth and social media epoch, The Code was adhered to. It was based on a simple verity: if a locale had been transformational for
you, and you had put the hard yards in to get there and to learn it, to know it, why in god�s name would you broadcast the news, thus ruining the
future experience not only for yourself, but for future adventurers?

Speaking of Olivos.....
If you are using Hwy 3 to connect with Hwy 1, you will be passing through Olive orchard country. This should be harvest time, so if you have a chance
to buy some fresh-cured olives from a roadside vendor, you may be in for a treat!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Yup, there’s some great camping in the SQ area. So far I’ve camped at Don Ramon’s, Los Olivos, Cielito Lindo, El Pabellon, and Fidel’s El
Pabellon. Also Cueva Pirata in Camalu.

Much better camping in catavina.
Woke!
