It's changed over time. At first Mexico meant freedom, endless parties, beautiful landscapes and waters, and chicas, chicas, and more chicas.

Now it less chicas and more adventures. But still always a big fiesta.

Keep em coming folks please.

I like the concept of the evolution of baja and how the meaning of baja changes over time.
Places change and people change.
And ofcourse Baja can have many different meanings.
But is there a common thread that ties Baja lovers together?
For example, I was astonished when I found out that not everyone who goes to baja loves to fish yet there must still be some common ground ,some value, or ideal or even something geographical the we all share...
Is there?
And really you don't love to fish...? How strange...

Disclaimer: I still love people even if they don't fish...

Sometimes the chicas add to the adventure and sometimes they are the adventure. Each is different in their own special way but all are unforgettable.

I think part of it is the rules are a little loose in Baja and by that I mean you can ride a dirt bike basically anywhere in Baja. Well I don't know about the border towns like TJ and Mexicalli. But if you want to jump on your dirt bike and head to La Paz you can. You can't do that NOB. Crap you can't even ride it in the dirt in a lot of places. Another thing is that for most of Baja when you get near the ocean you can pull over and camp, especially south of Ensenada and San Felipe. NOB you got to find a camp ground or a park and pay. You may pay SOB but it's usually just a few bucks unless it's a regular campground.

Don't get me wrong there are a lot of interesting places to go to NOB and have a great time. But Baja is a little different and they have Off-Road racing where you can get out on the course to watch. Try that at a BITD race.
