Baja Trip


Well, I'll let the pics speak for themselves for the most part. Only a few hours in and I need a heater hose.

A night at Kiki's on our way home



We have around 200 pics of the trip, but you get the idea.

I've always wondered what it's like to camp in such a deluxe van.

The one night in the yurts was the only night we slept in a real bed the whole trip. Here's an inside shot. Very nice place.

With enough beer, you can sleep on sharp rocks. However, the sleep'n was good up top (more room).

Those Sportmobiles sure are nice. I almost had one once, but only got the trailer that went along with it.
Great photos, thanks!

Think I may have seen Diver's name on the registry at that RV/Restraunt/Bar in Guerro Negro too. No, didn't take a picutre of the registry. Diver, if that was in fact you, your secret identity is safe.

That was a Baloga (sp?) on Gonzaga Bay. Stayed there going down and stayed there a few days heading up. We were the only ones there the whole time with the exception of one night where a couple pulled in after dark and split the following AM. Things are definately quite down there these days. Went through many campos on this trip and the story was the same over and over again. Sort of like a virus swept in and everyone had simply vanished silimilar to the story line in The Andromeda Strain.

Nice, very nice photos and looks like a great trip. We thought about one of those Sportsmobiles---it reminds us of our old VW vans, only better.

Thanks for sharing these, and wouldn't mind, or let me put it this way, I would really like to see more of your photos.

I agree with Bajacat--Gonzaga, one of my favorite places in Baja. Had a similar experience to DeMinimis in November at Beluga. I was there for 6 nights and there was one other couple there. Manuel, the manager said that there was no one at all there in either September or October. On previous trips in December, it was the same.

Actually, this is our frist trip down there where we spent a fair amount of time north of BCS. It rocked. Great people all around, mellow, etc. I'm so ready to head back down.

Beluga had dog poop all over the beach, and during Baja Grande in November, half of our group split with Rancho Grande for better beach camping sans dog poop on the shoreline.

While I liked the better facilities, the guys camping at Rancho Grande preferred the great fishing opportunities.

No poop when we were there. Liked having flush toilets and cold showers close by. Liked the beach at Rancho Grande better though. Its all good.

Its good that the beach was cleaned up. I thought Beluga was excellent for camping. The showers made up for the condition of the beach.
