really??? it's an expression Woody. ....Yes, you are correct if you want to get all technical. ...waves are a little limp right now. jesus dude. you
should relax... may I suggest less keyboard warrior, and more west coast? try it out, it's very refreshing.  I kid. but since you were so kind to take the time I thought I would to.
-don't hold your breathe on any 'fotos' sorry. couldn't resist.
peace out

thanks for checking back in mr.rookie...I always like it when folks who solicit help are grateful and post their successes...or failures.
Traveling baja is different for everyone....I have driven to Vancouver to Guerrero Negro in 38 hours before....that's the way I wanted to do
it....just get thru the states as quick as humanly possible to get to my destination and relax on the beach.
What makes me happy is that this forum provided bajarookie a most excellent travel partner. The travel companion forum is very useful for hooking up
and this is another example of how Baja Nomad forums rock! Now enjoy your vacation dude surf or no surf....hey Woodie....big ass swell coming down
from your neighbourhood bro ya?

Very cool that you made it in your time frame! What was your total travel time? I once had to get back north quickly and drove from La Paz to Ensenada
in 18 hours! Crazy, long day! But, do-able. Enjoy your time in Baja!

super stoked I found this site just in time.(mostly because I made a new kick ass friend and stellar tour guide with history and stories)
- So the time went along these lines... by the time we got both us and the cargo loaded, papers in order etc.. we were a little behind sched and
crossed US/Mex approx 11am'ish. Stopped for Tourist cards, quick but worthwhile lunch in south Ensenida(*sp)and kept a solid but safe pace. Couple
Pemex stops, an amazing side road stop for coffee approx 8'ish?? while the RedSox looked to finalize the last 3 outs(in Spanish) to capture the
WS..personal Highlight as a lifelong fan... we arrived in G.N. approx 10-1030... up by 7, on the road by 8am sharp. Couple quick stops to enjoy
authentic eats and also two pitstops that will last a life time. Food and friends that I'll never forget.(can't express how well this meeting of my
co-pilot confirms my belief that things happen for a reason) Rolled into La Paz with ease by 7pm'ish by choice. Instead of pushing forward chose to
kick back, take notes and re-fresh for a super easy coffee/drive combo into Cabo. Smooth and groovy. Thanks to BajaNomad for existing and allowing me
to meet, travel in the exact way I would have wished for. I'm officially a Baja pusher/returnee.
-I look forward to keeping an eye and encouraging everyone to do this trip. ...and I'm only 4 days deep. Can't wait to fill in the rest of the blanks.
**I'd apologize for the long winded answer but hey, if you didn't have time you wouldn't have read it. 
-back to sleep for me, 7 30 AM is sure to have more adventures in store.
Loving Life.

Buddy, you might try to follow your own advice
We don't want folks to start another "canukistan" bashing....
Surfer snobs are one thing....Woody is NOT one of them.
Don't believe everything you think....

As a first time user of this forum I would like to say muchas gracias for the ease and speed with which I was able to hook up a ride south for myself
and my cargo. Thanks more so to Bajarookie for solid vehicle prep and a steady hand and foot heading into the narrow Baja twisties facing down the
chuky-fueled traileros unflinchingly. We had a strong wind out of the east for most of the drive which put a lot of trailers well on our side of the
line. This was compounded by a larger than normal quantity of bicycle tourists with a death wish. Do these people have any concept of how narrow and
dangerous the Carretera Transpeninsular is or do they just wander into this blindly straight off the plane from Springfield, USA? I was happy to not
be stabbing the virtual brake nor fearing the drop off the shoulder from the copilot seat. Good tunes - tip: always ask to listen to other peoples'
music, as long as its not P-nche Sinaloan banda music, haha! Bajarookie is gonna do just fine with the peninsula. He proved himself resourceful,
intelligent, worldly, with a wealth of life experience and an appreciation for the Baja folk with their roots closer to the earth. Gracias! Muchas
gracias!

super kind words Freedo. appreciate it. I look forward to tipping a few more pints together before I head back North. I could NOT have had this smooth
of a trip without you. I really do appreciate how the Globe has a way of joining the like minded together. People speak of how amazing and friendly
Van Isle is and we love to hear it, but I feel the same as a 'newbie' here on the Peninsula as a guest. I'm in hopes of being a small piece of wisdom
to others who inquire if/when I can as I 'feel' this is now a annual must for me. Working like a dog for 6 months allows me 6 months to enjoy all you
fine folks and the vast world we share. AGAIN, I thank BajaNomad for the efforts and time to make this interwebby site available for us all. Win, win,
win!!!! or as I say in my horrible Spanish skills... ganar,ganar,ganar!!! (ya, I totally googled that)
-Baja-hahahahaha-
