Note to Self...
Add to list:
1. Salsa CD's
2. Plastic sheet with Arthur Murray salsa step footprints and instruction manual (must learn that little double step that looks so cool)
3. A larger vehicle to hold all of these things that a person must have to get by in Baja.

I think the Arthur Murray footprints are more revealing...

Either I missed it or I can't believe someone didn't mention this in the past 8 pages. I'll give you a hint: Pretty much every Baja racer
(four-wheeled) carries them. They've saved us several times (Used to attach a coil on our old buggy after it broke free so we could get home. Used
to get throttle linkage back to the correct location when it slipped a couple of years back on our current buggy (throttle stuck wide open and its not
even Toyota-based). Used to keep our hi-Lift jack from rattling. Secure a license plate when the screw fails. Great for binding unruly kids,
etc...).
DK, I suspect you know where this is going. ZIP TIES! Bags and bags of zip ties (make sure they are US made as the import ones fail and fail
frequently). Quick, clean and effective. In Baja, where stuff is always trying to fall off your rig, zips can save your day. You can zip-tie and
handful of zip ties to your frame, a tube, whatever. -Need one or two, pull them from the bunch and tighten the zip tie holding them together. Heck,
you can use them to fasten your chili pepper lights to your awning if that's your thing.
You gonna eat that?

That stuff saved my rear (leaky radiator) one Sunday morning in GN when just about everything was closed. The fix was still solid 6 years later when
i sold that POS.

Great tip. I'm adding JB Weld to my Box-O-Parts-N-Tools pronto. Just used it to fix a broken creeper last weekend. Great stuff.
You gonna eat that?

We always go to the dollar store before we leave and grab 50 or so kites. We pass them out along the way....every time we return to San Quintin, the
kids are always asking about the papalotes...it's fun to see them smile so big ~ adults, too

Hey folks, let's not forget the most important thing, a good, positive attitude! Don't leave home without it. There is almost nothing it can't
fix!

BABY WIPES - these are a quick easy way to clean your hands without having to touch some of those nasty Baja bathroom sinks and that stinky gas
station soap. Get the unscented baby wipes.
They come in handy for all types of purposes...just get fragrance free or your car will start to smell so 'fresh and clean' that it will make you
sick!

You can usually make one to turn the water pumjp - probably nothing else, maybe alternator, so you can at least drive the vehicle. Hard turning and
stopping but moveable.

Didn't we use to borrow our girlfriends panty hose as emergency replacement
Once in a while we could make it to nearest gas station but if we didn't
at least she wasn't wearing them
