OH, Surfer Jim... give me a washboard road any day!

I'm with Bob. Washboards are G-O-O-D. They're like filters.

The worst thing is when you are walking down the street and a group of Norteamericanos are drinking too many beers in a street side bar, dressing with
way too much flash, talking way too loud, being way too obnoxious, showing off their spanish by adding an " El " in front of the English word and an
"O" on the end, flirting with everything in skirts, and smoking cheap cigars they just bought from the corner mini-market: and somebody asks you in
Spanish if you are with that group?

Washboard Roads
I love washboard roads. My Cd player that hadn't worked in almost 4 years magically played music after bumping down a road somewhere far south of the
border. The next day my drivers side window that had been stuck in the down position moved up and has worked flawlessly since. Washboard or cash to
fix? Gimmee the washboard any day.

The worst thing is the long drive down I-5 to get there. I sometimes say that I-5 is the hell I have to pay to get to Baja, and Los Angeles is where I
meet the devil himself (traffic).

Yes to all and add one more, adding naptha to the mix in all stations around TJ and Rosarito to "bulk up" the volume.

Okay, I gotta ask, what is naptha? I will be glad when BajaCactus can give us some insight!

Baja Surf
Your
vehicles sound like my vehicles. And that's hysterical. Many many times things have magically started working after having some sense rattled into
them. Gotta love it !!
Worst thing about Baja, Dengue Fever and flies in some areas.

Not sure what
you're getting at, or if there's a different meaning you intended for "naptha"... as most gasoline components are from the broad area of distillates
called naphthas/napthas. Pretty much all modern reformulated gasolines are a blend of several refinery streams, including naphtha/naptha components.
I would be curious to know what you've witnessed, or what you're aware of in this regard to the gasoline near the border region -- if not elsewhere.

no DEET .....
The one thing that I hate about BAJA is ..... being up at PUERTO REFUGIO on GUARDIAN ANGEL island after a DIVE and sgueezing out my last ounce of
insect repellant from the bottle ... and knowing the JEJENES (no-seeums)..... are going to EAT ME for lunch when this stuff wears off .......

That Baja isn't more difficult to get into/out of AND the the always well over blown rumors related to the dangers of travelling in Baja are fading.
Ah, I to long for the day that when you told your neighbor you were driving from LA to La Paz they looked at you with horror in their faces and the
locked their doors behind as you left....
