Don:
And I bet you get better mileage off of that second tank.
Loreto by way of San Felipe.....sounds like the long way, but scenic!!!
Hey, Baja Girl....get the Toyota, and David K will throw in a "Got Baja" decal...............if you get back to LA, fdt will throw in a "I survived
HWY 1" decal..............
can't go wrong!!!

gear...what the h-- ? Are all the real men already in Loreto?

Damn good looking truck there, Mr. Tan, and in my price range...don't laugh at this next question, I'm a newbie - but is diesel fuel available
throughout baja? I could convert to bio-diesel and enjoy the smell of french fries on our journey.

A lot cheaper than in the USofA, particularly Calif. Less than $2 a gallon.

...so should that be a serious consideration? The larger Ford trucks have diesel, but that might be more truck than I could possibly need.
So, it looks like Toyota Tacoma v. Ford F150...the big chevy is too far (Nevada) and again, probably more truck than I could use...plus, you know, I
kind of want to keep under the radar...

Yep, the dogs do look alike. I have a 4 year old female Yellow Lab (bajadog).
Just keep repeating to yourself.....Toyota - Toyota - Toyota
When is your trip???

Baja girl, welcome to the board. You are going to have your avatar up in no time with the amount of posts your putting in right off the bat! This is
what I drive, F350 diesel. More truck than you could possibly need? No. My grandmother used to say that it's better to have it and not need it, than
to need it and not have it.
Sounds like you are in for an adventure. Have fun!
Paulina<*)))><
ps. I'm from Eagle Rock, almost your next door neighbor.

my first trip via carro is the weekend of July 7th - ish...I am serious about trying to join up with people...so, I am flexible about exactly when to
leave the Los Angeles area...I would be willing to house a few folks in my lovely, spacious home driving down from further north to the Fishin for
the Mission tournament- or I would be willing to drive a little out of my way to join up with people further south. I also could house a few folks in
Loreto for a night or two who might be headed further south than that...
I need to be in Loreto around noon on July 10th to pick up folks from the airport...otherwise, I don't have a specific date or time or itinerary.
I will be going to Loreto via private plane over memorial day...but I am very, very excited about the road trip in July.

Yikes, Pauline, that is one heck of a baja-mobile, with us being such close neighbors, maybe I could borrow it for a week or so?

The meet and greet sounds awesome...
Anyone driving down from Los Angeles/Orange County? Would be more fun to have company...I've never crossed the border by myself...except by
commercial airlines...and as I said, my regular car will never go to mexico.
Thanks for the invite!!!!

There's
just some things that I don't share. Off hand I would say, my husband, boyfriend, tools, beer, toothbrush, fishing pole, oh and my truck!

The best way to go... FORD truck. I wouldn't trust anything else.
