Hey Davey, I've only had one chance to visit Bahia Asuncion, but I'll tell you there are few places like it in Baja and I absolutely fell in love with
it.
As for Shari promoting her business, I'm betting she has done more for the people of the community than she has done for herself.
Unlike a lot of self-righteous ex-pats on this board, she has fully "bought-in". She's a Mexican citizen, her husband is a Mexican pilar of the
community. I can't imagine her saying a disrespectful word about Mexico or Mexicans. And, she's an absolute sweetheart. Juan too!

Maps, The American Auto Club has a good map of Baja also check out the Baja Almanac out of Las Vegas.All can be picked up at Discover Baja Travel club
for a bit of a premium.A very good guide for fishing is, The Baja Catch. Good insight for fishing without making bait and fishing areas. All can be
picked up a Discover Baja Travel Club at a premium.
http://www.discoverbaja.com/
The biggest issue for fishing will be the weather, windy at times on the Sea of Cortez and big swells on the Pacific. If you use your head you'll be
fine.
Other places to check out:
The beach around Ej. Erendira has great perch fishing from shore. The fishing charter is also good for bottom fish.
Drive out to La Lobera, great place to stretch the legs and very unique. It's just before El Rosario and the road is easy to miss. If the get to the
top of the hill going south you are to far.
San Quintin both inside the bay and the pacific side of of the cape. (watch the sand on the outside). Lots of info posted.
The beach at El Rosario. The road to Punta Baja might be to bad for your rig. I love the area south for fishing.
San Carlos can be windy but you'll only have Windsurfer's for neighbors.
Bahia de Los Angeles is worth seeing. Lots of info posted.The beaches south of there are very cool but hard to get to with a Motor home.
If your down between the end of Jan. and March check out the whales for sure.
The whole area between Punta Engenta and Punta Abreojosis worth checking out, the roads between towns might be a issue. See above posts.
The area south of Mulege is very cool and easy to get to.
Take a day to drive inland to San Javier mission the oldest original mission still standing(over 300 years old).
La Purisima and the coast around there is cool.
Puerto Lopez Matos is is good inside fishery, also look at the Mag. bay area for fishing, San Carlos is a bit industrial.
Todos Santos and the beaches north and south are very nice.
The East Cape and Cabo are all covered elsewhere on Nomads.

Welcome to Baja Nomads. BajaBlanca is right. Here is pic of laguna and 450 year old church:
stop by Punta Banda/ La Bufadora on way down also (just south of Ensenada) and plenty of cheap RV hookups at Campo La Jolla. several Canadians from
Alberta down here, including my wife.

Welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We wish you safe and memorable travels. I hope you find the people and this land as awe inspiring as most of us do. I have been traveling this amazing
peninsula with my parents since 1965 and continue to do so with my young family. The entire Baja peninsula has so many fantastic places to explore.
David K has some wonderful trip resources on his website. As for the Viscaino peninsula, its new road improvements have made this remote region more
accessible to all kinds of travel modes. It still remains unspoiled with miles of beautiful beaches, unique desert landscapes and small towns with
every thing you need. We were so moved by this region and its kind people that we are actively working on immigrating there. Shari, Juan and their
family are some of the finest people you will ever meet. Have fun and post lots of pictures.
Adios, Lionel
