Dec 28th


We hope to cross the border on the 28th by 11:00AM headed to Asuncion via the orphanage in Ensenada(El Sauzal) We have some stuff for them.

I will be pulling a travel trailer, a 28ft Alpenlite, with my 3/4ton Gray Dodge truck. We move down the hwy quickly but carefully. If anyone wants to caravan, let me know.

We want to get to Asuncion by the 30th.

Does anyone know if the toll road is now open or what the status of the toll road is. I understand there has been some flooding and road damage around Rosarito.

Hey Art-

We'll be waiting for you in Asuncion...there will be a great group there already. If for some reason we get a late start, we'll hook up with you.

I'm sure the toll road will be open soon if not already.

I guess we'd better start working out for the new years bash with all of you here for that...gonna be another fun event....get your dancing shoes ready everyone. Tiomiguel got here safe and sound and is baja mode now...we'll be checking the tuna scene hopefully tomorrow or the next day when it calms down a bit...windy and rough right now...

The Asuncion dirt road part was graded a couple days ago and was really nice but be oon guard for some nasty potholes out of Vizcaino....drive safely everyone.

Mrs. Bajabass is heading to Ensenada on Monday to spend X-mas eve with her family. Is the toll road safe after the rains! Heard it really tore up San Quintin. The 4x4 Tundra is fine, but she is with child and I worry. Merry Christmas To All Nomads, in and out of Baja.

Another 5 inches yesterday and 7 inches last night.
Still snowing hard - calling for another 12 inches in the next 24 hrs !!

I found the boat and then lost it again when the snow covered my stake.
The dogs are digging tunnels, the chickens are trying to eat it all, and the horse is; hmm where is the horse ? Better go dig some more !

So much for making Asuncion by Christmas.....
I'm bound for my snow shovel for now ! :(

Diver, if you're coming this far south, could you bring me down some SPF 50 sunscreen. Just used up the last little dollop this morning -- it was either that or fry. Thanks

Hey Diver, not to rub it in either, I think I may have gotten the last tuna, couldn't find much sign today, just found the one, and a yellowtail. Was pretty windy out past San Roque and cool this morning, but now snow, like you have and we have in Ontario. You win the prize though, more snow than we have and that is unusual for sure. Although we have had snow since October 26, so we beat you on that score.
Be careful buddy driving down and take your time in that snow junk, we are here until like January 8 so lots of time for fun. The weather just turned nice now and I think will be good for a while so I am thinking the tuna might wait for you.
Take care.

Snowed in here in Nevada City, CA. (7 miles above town). I was planning to leave the day after Xmas, but it looks like I'm not going anywhere for awhile. It is snowing hard today too. I will be towing a boat, so have to be extra careful getting down the hill below the snow line.

Nomads,
Please continue to give road reports for Northern Baja. Even if we get a break here, road conditions due to rain in Baja may also be a factor in my departure date.

Meanwhile, it sure is beautiful here, and it WILL be a White Christmas!
Feliz Navidad!:coolup:
