Sign that it is time to move to Baja
So this is the second vehicle in a row that has decided that I really don't need heat in the winter.
That would be fine, but when it is -35 and your car has decided that heat is not needed it gets very cold.
I think this is definatly a sign that I need to move! 
Did any full times of Baja, receive such a sign for the gods?

Just drape yourself in seaweed (like a previous pic you posted). Canadian seaweed is very insulating

When I started to hear lots of pop, pop rapid automatic gunfire very close to my house and later found out the Asian and Mexican gangs were having a
turf beef in my neighborhood. Also there were just too many times I didn't remember driving home from work on the freeway on my big street bike. It
coulda been that I was too old to move up in my 3 jobs, couldn't think of anything I was dying to do for a living on the 4th job.

In 1998, the year we moved from the wet side of WA state to the dry side, it rained for 92 days straight!
That was our sign for that move.
This past winter we saw -15F. When we're expected to go to work outside in 10F temps, doing a job that you can't wear gloves for (you have to use
bare hands)............I think that's a sign for move #2.
We're proceeding with planning for the casa south of the Tropic of Cancer~~~

This is definately a sign from the Baja Gods.... sell your house and all of your belongings and go! You will never regret it.

This never happened to me but "a friend ". When the thermometer hit 40º and was falling not to see 40º again for 6 months. I'd say that's a hint. When
it hit -10º and still falling I'd say that's a sign you waited too long. BUT! When it hit -35º I'd say... Don't know what I'd say cuz I've never "been
there, done that". Maybe someone has some idea what -20 and falling would signify?
 COLD!

"There's no going back..."
That's the sign our Pathfinder has given us recently. Its our business car and personal transportation, its more than kinda important, so we carefully
keep it clean & maintained, new tires even. She drives beautifully for a 13 year old car, and everything works perfectly... except for the reverse
gear! We just watch where we're going and park for a strategic getaway.
Miss you guys! Hope to see you all soon. Cheerz, M&M

sHave a friend who lives full time down here and he left Idaho one day during a snow storm and he kept driving south. Everywhere he stopped, he
reached in the motor home and pulled out a snow shovel and kept going south until one day in Baja, he pulled it out and somebody asked what that funny
looking shovel was for. He has never left.
