Your favorite reason you like Baja (Poll)
Lets take a poll!
If you put other please post a 1 word reply like "Boating" or something. Otherwise you'll just mess up the poll. And no it's not funny to spoil my
poll.

FishBuck...Other then golf they all are great reasons....you left the real reason I like Baja off. #1 reason: The type of people that really love Baja
are concentrated there. This type of people are happy and want to be your friend.

I put "People" on there. I guess I should have put "Friendly" people. That's what I meant.

Well that might take more than 1 word to explain I guess. I assume you mean good kharma.

I really enjoy the Mexicano people and they rank as a valid reason...but I am referring to is the Americano that felt the draw to Baja....enough so
they do not want to be anywhere else.

Can you fit "to get away and go someplace that is 180 degrees opposite of my normal life" somewhere on this poll?

You have history twice... good catagory, but Baja has so much to offer with history being one part of what draws me south... Going back to Mision
Santa Maria this weekend will be a great adventure, so I answerd 'Adventure' because that trip combines off roading, history, beer, restaurants (El
Rosario and other places on the road), people (like good Baja Nomads who are going too, and the good people of Baja we interact with), adventure...
that road is awesome!

How many of us would travel to Baja if it was a completely landlocked destination? The coast is definitely a big part of the draw - whether it be for
the beaches, fishing, kayaking, and all that sort of stuff. Also, I'm sure that weather is also a big part of the draw as well. Many people who go to
Baja like the warm weather. I doubt nearly as many would go if the weather was more like Crescent City - especially in the winter. As for me, it's a
toss up between the fish tacos and being able to drink a beer while driving on dirt roads en route to a beach for camping adventure with a little
fishing and snorkeling in the company of good people. Despite all that, I probably wouldn't be so eager to go to Baja if my ten-hours-a-day painting
job was there waiting for me along with a lawn that needs mowing on weekends.

So is that "Adventure" or "Other"?
That's why I put "Favorite" in the topic heading. You only get to pick one thing.
It was hard for me to pick just 1 also but the poll can only work that way. When it's done maybe we can get a good picture of what BajaNomads like.
So, pick your favorite thing if you can. Otherwisw I guess the catchalls are "Other" and "Adventure"

Yep .. Solitude is my #1 reason for loving Baja.
Wakes up all my senses that get jammed full of crap when I'm home.

I'm watching dolphins playing 100m off the beach as I type. They don't have this scene in Denver very often.

Yup! For us, it also applies to the mainland of Mexico.
