Smoke, welcome to Nomad!
Spelling and typos are a big problem with me at times... fortunately Baja Nomad allows you go back and fix your posts! Just click on the EDIT button
that is next to the box where you read your posts!
If you edit more than one time, you can delete the notice that appears at the bottom saying it was already edited... that way several edited by lines
don't remain... just one.

How do you guys know that he mispell the word BAJA, maybe he meant to spell it that way?.BAHA. I know because I almost did while triying to get my
personal plates,BAJACAT, was already taken, so I try BAHACAT and didn't like it, the whole idean of the personal plates was to have the Whale tail and
the BAJA word in it. So I had to change it to BAJA KT

Best boarder crossing I ever had was letting the " "old lady drive and I got in the back of the camper and ate all of the dog food and raw pork and
drank the remaining beer and watched the dog and pony show from the back!!

As far as a place to stay the nite before crossing, are you talking Hotel or Motel or camping or RVing 
Or maybe just sleeping in your car  |

Wal - Mart
Smoke, I would do an internet search and find the nearest Wally Martinez (Wal-Mart) parking lot to the San Ysidro crossing, find a quiet corner of the
lot, take a good nap, grab a cup of AM-PM wake-em-up, and get an early morning start across the line.

Thanks much, I should have thought of that but my mind is overflowing with dorado,stripeys,Roosterfish,sierra,pacifico,shrimp tacos and shrimp
omelets at El Viejo , so there was not room for logical thought processes like that.

welllllllllllllllll then....in that case, my next choice would be one of the side streets just south of Brown Field on Otay Mesa Road. Maybe Cactus
Road or Britiannia Blvd or one of the laterals (do a map quest search).
There are several 24 hour stop & shops there. Should not be bothered with a 5th wheel rig, then cross at Otay and take the Boulevard 2000.
Or maybe the Home Depot lot on Palm Avenue, just off of and west of the I-5 in Chula Vista.

Home Depot off Palm Ave. is also off limits to overnighters. That would be just down the street from WalMart. All probably because there is a
Starbucks between them and temporary homeless in their parking lot would be bad for their image.

Taking the 2000 road from Otay is a good plan. Just came back from the States and there is a new roadblock on the border fence road set up by heavily
armed Fed Highway Patrol. Heard about it the other day and who knows how long it will last.
Anyway, a couple of miles further and you get to go through the Army roadblock. These are minor inconveniences unless they pull you over and I dont
know of anybody who has been. It's just looking more like Beirut every day.

If you use the Tecate crossing, there is a Outdoor World Resort & RV park on Hyw 94 that can handle everything from the Big Rigs to tent campers
and even cabin campers. Also, there are numerous smaller RV parks along Hwy 94 in the little comumities like Campo, Potrero, Jacumba, Dulzera, etc.
Or you can stay overnight in the parking lot at the Golden Acorn, an Indian casino on I-8
Or, if you're a nudist, there is Deanza Springs at Jacumba.
All of these are less than an hour away from the Tecate border crossing.

Hey! I was born nude.....can I get in?
Seriously, whats the deal at Jacumba. Last time I was there it was owned by a German and was getting pretty run down. That was good though because it
wasn´t very expensive. The thermal pool was great and the indoor jacuzzi was funky but hot.:moon:

Haven't stayed there in years (I stay at Deanza Springs), just driven by, so I'm not sure if anything, including the owner, has changed.
Deanza Springs has 2 pools (one indoor), hot tub, restaurant, health club, tennis courts, Horseshoe pits, Basketball courts, game room, bar,
clubhouse, WiFi, Lots of desert for nude hiking, etc. So I've never had the urge to stay anywhere else.

Well, that's it. I've done a lot of things in my life but, I havn't walked around the desert nude. I always wore a hat. In retrospect, I should
have worn shoes as well. Ouch----Ouch-----Ouch
