The Baja Quoteables Game


Anyone with a favorite quotation related to the peninsula we love so much? Be it a movie, magazine, or a guide book, let's hear yours, and give the source.

Taken from: "Baja Adventures by Land, Air, Sea" Marvin & Aletha Patchen, 1981.

"Although my first off-road Baja trip was quick and unsuccessful, it was a beginning. Baja teased me. It had told me I was welcome if I was prepared to become a serious student of the school of hard rocks and soft sand. I would have to learn patiences and to forget my watch and calendar, because rain, wind and tides would be my new master. Baja told me that if I really wanted to learn about her delights and avoid her miseries I should study her roads, the texture of the land, the Gulf and Pacific shoreline, her skies and most important of all, her people."

quote


Ev’ry thing’s got thorns on it in Baja
Don’t drink Tequila and wander o'er the rocks
‘Cause if you don’t watch your step when you’re in Baja
Your vacation just might end up in a box

Anon — old campfire song.

"Good Lord, please ... please don't make me turn in my sleeping bag too soon. I just gotta go, one more time...
