Your absolute favorite place in Baja
I thought it would be fun to find out everyone's favorite Baja hangout and why it is.
I'll start:
It is hard to say that we have one favorite, but if we had to only have one it would be Asuncion. We both love the feeling of the town. The people
are all very friendly, and we have yet to meet anyone that we didn't like.
The views there are amazing, and it just does your soul good to sit and watch the ocean with a c-cktail for hours and hours.
San Roque is a close second, we love the remoteness the fact that you can sit for hours and not see another living person that whole time. Our
children love San Roque, as it is a place that they can run to the ocean at 5:00 in the morning, and sit and watch the sunrise, as they create cities
in the sand, collect shells, and practice their swimming/surfing skills.
Both BOLA, and the Bay of conception need honorable mention. We all love being able to wake up in the morning on the beach, and go for a swim.
Snorkling is fantastic for the kids, as they can spend hours doing it and not worry about being sucked out to sea!
How about you, what are your favorite places, and why?

To date it's San Francisquito, but I think that might change if I could ever get down to Asuncion

The deck at Casa Loma... our yard in TS, at 7am as the sun is coming up! I love to look down the valley and hear the sounds of the town awakening!
... I am getting very excited
Remember, when in Mexico, yes may be no and no may be
maybe!

Since we thought we would never buy a place in Baja and have now done so, Asuncion wins.
Actually, we just think this whole area is amazing.
Second place would be Gonzaga but only in the winter. For a city, it is a toss up between Mulege and Loreto. Well, now that I think about it, I
could add many places to the list, but this is the one that reached out and changed our mind about buying a place here. We LOVE it.

For a city it's La Paz. For a location just about any dirt road near the water, although running around Mikes Sky Rancho is lots of fun.

Tough..
but I would have to say Abreojos.
Great Fishing, surfing, people, the estuary, the whales... sweet spot.
Fly low, land on roads.

Mision Santa Maria rates really HIGH on special (very special) places to visit in Baja!
I am working on a web page for our recent trip there (last May), including the big horn sheep encounter... It is still under construction, but you can
have a peek!: http://community-2.webtv.net/vivabaja/msm

Yea right!?!
Like I'm gonna tell all you guys were my favorite spots are!?!
Last thing I need is a bunch of Nomad yahoos trekking over the dunes, the sides of their faces bathed in moonlight, and walking into my campsite while
I'm enjoying a crystal clear view of the constellation Scorpio and listening to the swells as they march across the successive reefs, bringing a bunch
of cold cerveza's purchased at the little tienda by the avocado groves, and wanting to pee in my campfire!!
Nice try, Gypsy...but it ain't gonna work!
And I'm not giving you any clues, either!!!!
Whoa there, Cowboy - pull back on those reins!
