I think aduana is more interested in vagrant flat screen televisions and X-box gizmos than in a used tarp, battery and other crap. A new LTH group 27 deep cycle battery sells for the equivalent of one hundred dollars in Mexico. You can get them for half that in the states. Same for tarps. The silver color ones seem to be better than the blue ones. Holysmokes, lightning, power outage gotta shut down on the US bye.

hi and welcome to baja nomads

at dusk - be sure to keep an eye out for cows

always have drinking water with you - bottled water, tap water can NOT be drunk. so watch out for ice cubes too. Montezuma's revenge is well....vengeful !!

Once you are past El Rosario, there is NO gas station for hours. IT IS A MUST TO FILL UP THE GAS TANK

surfing in punta abreojos is fantastic and we are 10 miles north if you follow the salt flats - visit us in LA BOCANA ... Blanca and Les - if you can bring a bike to donate to the local bike club (any bike), some spare bike tires or tools) we will let you stay a couple free nights in our hotel :))))) good place to get a shower and meet some new friends !!





Come visit La Bocana

And always remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by those moments that take our breath away.
