Am I the only racer to check in?
I finished 8 1000's and half dozen 500's and we ran some random stuff out of Mexicali and San Felipe.
And we pre-ran all of them, more than once,
and in the NORRA days the drive home from La Paz was half on dirt.
Add in the random miles from random trips in the past dozen years and my total is probably somewhere between 20k and 30k but who knows?
I just don't remember many 'bad' miles off road in Baja, not many at all!!

Any photos available from your early trips?
Had to me an amazing experience. I am sorry to see so much new pavement, but things change. As another post said, one nice thing is so much trash has
been cleaned up during the last year along Highway 1. |

I must admit that the offroad travel experience in Baja brings back stronger memories of exploring Baja, that's for sure. You just can't beat
offroading in Baja and the people that you meet and sights that you see. There's just too much to take in that most people miss out on. Or, they are
just to scared to do it. Like David K says "Too much Baja, too little time"

No Bob... It's SO much Baja, so little time!
There can never be TOO much BAJA (in my book, anyway)!!

NON-PAVEMENT MILES IN BAJA???
I always figured many of the miles in Baja were considered to be non-pavement, whether on a dirt track or paved highway....I'm thinking about roads
like the old road from San Felipe to Puertocitos...isn't that considered to be non-pavement??? LOL!!!

Sure, Amo, and so did the "paved" BOLA road for much of its life!

Assuming from photos I've seen of you that you're around 60 years old-forgive me if I'm way off sir...
that'd be 27,923 miles per year...Hmmmmm, I'm calling BS on that.with due respect and all in fun
Me...I got about 500 dirt miles or so

Hey DB...I think you dropped a couple of zeros off the end of you miles!!!
Although, being the humble guy you are, I know you wouldn't want to brag!!

BAJACAT...
We're glad to have you on board. I always enjoy your posts and pictures and I'm sure many others do too!!!!
The Baja Nomad and Baja traveler fraternity is an amazing thing that is a great thing to be part of. You can meet a stranger here on Nomad or
somewhere else, and when you find out you have Baja in common, it's like you're suddenly best friends!!
