You are welcome to crash at my place, there is plenty of room for your cot.
We are located at Campo San Antonio K43. At about 200 yards past the K43 marker turn left at the blue handicap parking sign below it is a white
painted tire "R U Lost" go up the slope turn right and you are there, 1rst house on the left just ask for El Comandante Loco. Jeep no problem for this
ride.
For the rest of the Nomads are we still on for Shell Beach and the Sulfur mine?? David K I hope you can make it.... |
Thanks amigo!
You guys have a great time for me... It statred raining here last night and today it remains wet... So, no new work on the scope until this wet
ends... I did have two nice jobs the past few days, thank God! We are planning on Shell Island for Memorial Day weekend... and I will sure will need a
'Baja Fix' by then!!!

Thanks for the offer but in the interim, I have learned that a good friend of mine will be at his south campos digs that weekend. So I am covered and
dont have to even bring a cot.
What is the timing of the sulphur mine/Shell Island run in relation to the Paella Festival? I'd sure like to do both. |
In an answer to your earlier question regarding your vehicle you will have no problem. I drove my '95 4Runnner out there with BajaRob and we never put
it in 4WD however we were aired down to 15 p.s.i.
As far as the two Saturday activities go, I'd say the first one will be 9'ish and the second one after lunch.
Since you have a buddy in the South Campos you will be staying with perhaps he has a VHF radio setup at his home as many of us do and you can call me
if you like, just ask for Chuck Cherry on our hailing channel which is 69.
We need to be at the Road Runner Cafe Sunday morning no later than 9:00 a.m. to meet BajaLou and his gang. The RR cafe is one half mile south of the
Giant Rockodile sign which is 10 miles north of San Felipe. You can get with El Commodante Loco or myself and my group if you want to convoy up there.
Also, we are having a dinner on Saturday night at my house in Playa Hermosa or possibly at BajaRob's place nearby if it gets too windy for our patio
area.
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

Figure on some wind and more high clouds than you would want, that will probably keep the daytime highs in long sleeve T-shirt mode.
Is the Sunday route suitable for a stock, Jeep Unlimited? I might drive over from the other side of the Pond. Would need a place to crash but have a
cot, sleeping bag, etc.

ECL, give me a shout on the radio if you want some of the Shell Island/Sulphur Mine action and please join us for dinner on Saturday night if you
wish, all friends included. Bring your own grub, we have multiple grills, full kitchen, etc...

Chuck, I've got a modded 2 meter radio in the Jeep. I'll hail you when I get in town. But I think I know where you live. You're south of my buddy.
He's along that area that fills and empties out. You're only about a 5 minute walk. We'll definitely be there Saturday night and will do at least one
of the Saturday rides. I plan on hitting the campos Friday afternoon. Bringing some high end Sonoran beef if anyone is interested.
Do you remember me? I went to the Padres game that Doug organized. My buddy was also there.

Sure I remember you! Eric and Valerie are your friends names. We've done the U2U thing but haven't met up at the beach yet.
There are a couple of locals homes towards the desert just away from the beach and I am adjacent to those homes so if I had to count the amount of
homes where they start after the break of Eric's camp then I would say right at 50 homes. My casa # is 24 and here is a photo of the house from
slightly south but on the Bahia Santa Maria road at the KM. 31 marker.
It is the two story, we have a house on both the front and back lot.

OK, got it. But if all else fails, keep that radio on, monitor 69 and talk me in.
EDIT: HOPEFULLY, THE SOLAR STORM WILL ALLOW US TO USE 69.

I'm thinking about 9 a.m. for either one then the other after lunch.
Yes, it'll be muddy but it's low tide at 8 a.m. if you have a vehicle that is capable and don't mind getting it muddy...
I have hoses and pretty good water pressure at my place. Air too.
We're bbq'ing chicken on Saturday between drives then dinner on Saturday night at my place or possibly Rob's.
Get me on Ch. 69 if you like, we'll be in by 7 p.m. Friday.

You guys will be calling it Shell ISLAND when you see the water surrounding it with the 20 foot + high tides for three days in a row!
The trick (if you dare) is to use the original road in that goes at an angle SE to the fishermen shack... NOT the once elevated road with the concrete
bridge at the end.
At low tide the water will be deepest in the tracks of the road... the track is firmer and thus slightly lower than the surrounding flats, so water
stays in the road track longer.
If you keep your tires in the track of the road to the fishemen shack, you should be fine (in 4WD low range).
If you get out of the track, the surrounding mud is like OATMEAL... and you will not want to sink in that!
Please take lots of photos if you dare to drive onto the island!

daughter is staying here while I'm in Mexico so I'll see you on Saturday sometime.

I will be thinking of you all!
Monday is not a holiday for Baja Angel, even if the economy was better... but I did have a couple of good jobs the past few days (thus the new
tires)...
Have a blast everyone... take lots of photos... including if anyone is brave enough to drive through the sea water to Shell Island!
