Viva San Juanico!!! Interesting to see what happens with the first mackin’ south swell. Empty perfection or crowded carnage?

Good Question !
If you have come to this forum for information like I used too, I suggest you go somewhere else.
If you have come to this forum for political divisiveness and shiat slinging at each other, then you have come to the right place.
Sad but true!!

Since Ateo has brought this political thread back to San Juanico, here is a question from a non-surfer.
When a surfer is said to be on the far right, or far left, is that from the viewpoint of the surfer, or those on the beach?
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

I am a goofy-foot. Meaning I surf with my right foot forward and I face the wave going left. That left is from my point of view when I'm paddling for
a wave.
So to answer your question...it is left from the surfers point of view who is paddling towards those on the beach.
And by the way...if you are to the far right or the far left, you're probably about to cut off someone on the wave.

Gary,
When you park and camp on the beach with your pooch and Kia....YOU decide how to call 'em....surfers speak in an arcane dialect. 
Don't believe everything you think....

I recommend the Trip Reports and the Historical Interests forums here on Nomad for pure info gleaning. This is "General Baja Discussion" and sadly,
politics can take it sideways unless replies are ignored.

I will make amends for my political detours. I keyed into the thread first because I saw San Juanico. I have been mapping out the offroad Baja Divide
route for a bikepacking plan in 2021 . '20 was to be my training year so we'll see. Scorpion Bay sounds too cool to pass on by.
The Divide route (blue) intersects this El Salto marked trail / road? Seemed like a great detour to what sounds like a great stereotypical old time
fishing and surf village.
What might be the conditions on this route be? And is this a commonly used route?
Rough distance via the scale is 25 KM - travel time no idea.

The Road between Laguna San Ignacio and San Juanico is well-traveled. There is high road (graded) that passes the junction to San José de Gracia and
a low road or Salinas road that passes through El Dátil on the seashore.
The road that crosses over to Mulegé from Rancho La Ballena is along Arroyo San Raymundo, and is also a common route that passes through the ranching
settlement of San Miguel (once a mission visita of Guadalupe, the chapel was where the cemetery now is).
My map that may help visualize the places mentioned...

White whale, if you are traveling the Baja divide route, that stretch of road will be far better than anything you have been on for quite a while. It
is well maintained, and suitable for any vehicle.

That sounds like a sell feature I couldn't pass - resupply and recharge for an extra day or two maybe. So being maintained stretch would it be a safe
bet you'd see a road sign with an arrow to make it dummy proof? Don't imagine the google map car gets this far in yet.

select the President. People 250+ years ago knew far more about the structure of our government than our current citizenry. The debates were deep,
thoughtful, and comprehensive in Philadelphia during the lead up the our Revolution. Far too many people today are bereft of knowledge of our
country's founding principles and arguments.
Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" and the Federalist Papers should be required reading for all citizens. Not to mention the Declaration of Independence
and the Constitution. Those are our "Little Red Books."
George Washington's farewell address is another required reading for any real patriot. As well as Eisenhower's warning about the dangers of the MIC.

Let's not over romanticize the past. They also allowed slavery and wiped out the native population.
I went to law school and read all the stuff you are referring to in conlaw classes.

That's a romantic notion from your past....did you get your law degree? Pass a bar exam?

Finished top 10% at Loyola Law School. Have an undergrad in electrical engineering, so I focused mainly on intellectual property and contracts law.
Decided not to practice. I like jobs that involve international travel too much.

Where do you get the idea that I'm "romanticizing" the past. I'm completely aware of our history, the good and bad. I'd rather not write a post that
reads like a Stephen King novel.
BTW, I was well above the top 10% in both undergraduate (UCSD) and graduate business school (USC). Not to mention a full ride fellowship at USC.
Fight On!
If you need a CFO, let me know.
