here's is my version of those bottomless shell beds. when the tide is drained out they firm up, but when the tide is just right they fill with water
(think of all of the voids down there) and become slushy and bottomless and f#*%ed up! best to stay high on the pack and drive at low tide to be safe.
or have another rig with you and a yank strap.
keep in mind, all insurance only covers your rig on "normally navigable roadways" or some such legalese. that means when you leave the dirt roadway up
a sandy arroyo or go screaming down the beach you just left your coverage behind.

Stay with Blanca at the La Bocana B&B. They treat you like a king! They have lots of local knowledge and Les will give you info to put you on the
bite.
No worries

What a story! I love it that they had a novel to listen to while waiting for help.....
Incredible that the truck started up. At all.
What an amazing video.
Tell them to stop by our place next time, bajaandy!

Sand crabs were our go to bait. Exactly how we use them up here in Southern California. We did use some krocodile baits for the halibut though.
We sure did learn a lot about the shell beds. We ran over hundreds of them, and the one we got stuck in did not look any different. But this trip we
will avoid them, thats for sure.
I think Woody answered the question on the truck. Get down on the sand, and all bets are off. But you only live once. I like rolling the dice
every once in awhile.
Would love to stop by and meet you bajaandy. Will be making our plans soon so maybe we will stay with you a few nights.

Just watched the entire video for the first time. Awesome footage of your trip !! Glad you survived all of your issues. Maybe you should stay away
from visiting those grave yards, huh?

Kirk,
Not that I wouldn't mind having you stop by and meet for a drink, but I'm in SoCal also. I think you meant to say that you'd like to stay with
BajaBlanca at their B&B in La Bocana. La Bocana is a great place to visit, and you have more than one choice of who you want to stay with if the
rooms are full.
Hope you have another adventure when you go!
BajaAndy

Thanks for the heads up Andy.
Although it would have been fun rolling into town and pulling up to say, "I am here to say hi to Bajaandy!"
