La paz to LB is 1hr 30 minutes driving time without trailer and loaded with cattle (the highway not the vehicle). If you're driving this stretch at
night be very careful. Also consider that you will want to arrive during daylight hours to find the RV park and set up.
I would at least check out the Motel Linda in Catavina before I went to the Desert Inn. They will be happy to let you see the room and run the water
for yourself before making a decission. If you don't like the room ask to see another one. They also have a huge parking area for your rig.
I agree with DK about the Baja Cactus, you'll feel like you are at a resort, you will be a hero to your wife and they have a gated secure parking
lot.....dt

David,
1) He said he wants to make it in three days to L.B.
If he doesn't want to stay at St Ines he can pay for a room, of his choosing in Cativina.
2)I know you want to give Antonio the biz, and is a great place to stay, but it is not far enough South to achive his objective.
3) How many times have you driven this road towing a trailer this far South....................................

Yes Uno Mas... I know...
We have given him all the options and opinions, so he is totally aware... That's the best we can do... The rest is up to him to discover and figure
out.
I only hope that he and his lady discover the beauty of Baja isn't all in the Cape region... So many zoom through some fantastic areas just to GET
THERE (Cabo or East cape)!
At least we succeeded in changing a 2 day suicide plan to a 3 day rush trip.

Fallback plan
I'll lay odds that upon seeing Bahia Concepcion for the first time your wife will exclaim:
"This is the most beautiful place I've ever seen. Why don't we stay here a bit?"
And all thoughts of Los Barilles will disappear.
It's been known to happen. And that wouldn't be a bad thing.

That bay is so incredible, it looks artificial...almost computer-generated. There seems to be no way that bay is natural, until you get out of your
vehicle and breathe in the air, and examine it until your brain takes in all the stimuli.

My favorite driving trip so far was a one way that was 3000 miles over 10 days. Have not seen a detour that I didn't like yet!
I should put a slow moving vehicle triangle on my jeep.
My dream trip would be one way, taking 2 months. And I agree Concepcion Bay is a magical place.

We love it there (Bahia Concepcion, at El Requeson)!

"As far as shops being closed and being disapointed"
I don't understand the comments to this - the mini-malls have many empty storefronts; and at least half the stores on the main drag are only open
certain days; or have signs posted that the store will re-open next month or such. The hotel gift shops have adequate trinket shops, but hardly a
Baja puebla shopping experience. Maybe you two with the comments are guys who don't like to trinket shop or who don't do the grocery shopping ?? The
large market's fruit and vegetables were unacceptable - not fresh. Whatever - each to his own - but strolling a vibrant charming town with a nice
variety of shops, restaurants is part of a travel experience, and in my experience, the town of Los Barilles was DISAPPOINTING. Let's let Mrs.
socalrat decide for herself.
