Very green in Baja sur.
Lots of good grass along the highway.
Lots of cattle eating that grass.
Race chaser traffic will be bad, as long as you do not try to drive like them you will be fine.
If your amigos end up comming with you get some sort of communication devices. It really helps to be able to talk to your buddies without having to
stop.
Have fun.

When things get to feeling a little dicey, and they have from time to time, my wife and I remind each other that you just don't get to call it an
ADVENTURE if there is no UNCERTAINTY.
Watch out for the $%&*#! racers on their return trip, they're just coming off a big party, they're exhausted, they think they're bullet-proof,
they're driving WAY over the reasonable speed limit and pulling very wide trailers. Some of them don't fit this description, but my worst drive EVER
came last year when I was meeting them coming at me. I never really disrespected those folks before that. WAY more near side-swipes than ever before.
KNOW at a very deep blood, guts, and CPR level EXACTLY where your right front tire is on the road. Go slowly and have a great adventure. I'm envious.

If you have trouble, just stay with your vehicle. Lots of Americans and Mexicans will stop. In fact, isnt the Baja 1000 during that time period? If
so, the highways will be "crowded" by Baja standards. |
When I broke down in the high desert last Thursday not one gringo in their fancy as# rigs stopped to help....however an old beat up pickup with four
Mexican gentlemen stopped and repaired my Bronco with smiles and much good will.

Ken,
Somewhere on a seeminly endless of flat desert south of Catavica I lost power and saw my oil guage drop all pressure.....I thought I had
pierced the oil pan .
The old guy that stopped analized the situation in five min (a hose had come off the gas tank) and had me back on the road five min later.
A special thanks goes to my new countrymen...
And good riddence to selfish Amerika.
- Ron

I make a point of helping out the locals when I can. I've helped push start a myriad of cars, gave bread to homeless people, swept up after chickens,
pulled water from the well, fixed flat tires, gave water to stranded people, installed sinks, etc.. etc..
It's important to take time out and help others be they gringo or Mexican. We all need some help sooner or later. Do what you can to make the world
a better place. It is what we make it.

In all my retirement years and during the many, many trips I made up and down the peninsula, any problem I encountered that required assistence, it
was "always" provided by Mexicans, while the Gringos zoomed by at their usual 90 mph. 
Blessed be the flexible for they shall not bend out of shape.
