Yep, first of all, Geoff thanks for everything. You guys are awesome... So are the rides down here too! 
The small half a day loop in Ensenada used to be part of the Baja 1000 course and had some nasty terrain to deal with, loved it all the way, don't go
there for wine though. And you better have your 4WD set to LOW.
All the riding so far has been more or less off road and sometimes not even haven't have a single trail to follow, just the old map that I have, it's
just perfect. The ride to Mikes via Coyote trail was the hardest trail I've ever ridden, man it was scary, don't go there with fully packed dual
purpose bike. 
After Mike's the road was just perfect, hauling burro about 40-60 mph on perfect dirt is so much fun. Camped on the beach here in San Felipe and now
heading down for a little bit and camp before starting to Los Angeles via Coco's Corner.
Take care you all,
Yours,
M |
Sounds like you had a great adventure. Glad you made it safe and sound.

Cool!!! I want to drive that road and also try and get photographs of the Guadalupe mission visita ruins of San Miguel (a visita is a satellite church
of a mission) which is passed by along that road.

Yep,
It's been once in a lifetime ride through Baja California all the way to La Paz, the scenery has been just breath taking.... just like the roads too
(literally).
...well, there has been a little set back, my host here in La Paz bailed and went to mexico city, so spending a night in a hotel... if you guys know
someone with whom I could hook up down here, let me know. Other than that and a few flats, all has been as good as one could have hoped for.
Love & peace,
Matias

Hola Seņor!
Hopefully some of the La Paz Nomads read this thread and can send you a U2U message and help out . Glad you are enjoying the trip so far. Was there
any surf getting in at Scorpion Bay? It's a little early in the season for south swells, but I know we had a little south in the water the last few
days.

Hi Matias,
Perhaps begin a thread in the Questions and Answers or Baja Acommodations forum here on Nomad... 'Lost Finn seeks La Paz room for __ nights' ??
Thanks for sharing your trip with us!!!

'Lost Finn seeks La Paz room fo xx nights' ??
Holly cow David!
I want a room too that is XX nights 
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Wow Deno... what are you drinking? Delta water? 
I changed the xx to __ so there is no confusion about the term 'blank nights'... as in 'fill in the blank'.
Have a nice night amigo!

You guys are cracking me up... Well, ended up in a cheap hotel downtown and first thing I met was two german girls... so I'm not going anywhere...
until they leave tomorrow evening.
Yep, the the mexicans have the dos equis dialed down, so it's just a beer night, nothing more naughty... sadly.
Peace, Love and Some Hard Riding.
