Coastal Roads South of El Rosario
Tons of hikes, surf, food, walks, naps, and roads. No flats and no air downs. Adios.
We headed south of El Rosario to check an area that I haven't been to in many, many years.
The last time I was there I was single young man, carrying a backpack full of Carlos Castaneda books, exploring around in an orange VW bus.
We had a blast.
We stayed in San Q for the night and headed south early the next morning, driving about 150 miles of dirt roads before the sun set.
Of course it was windy, and we looked for any crevice that would get us out of the wind for a few days but our search was fruitless. At around 3PM we
decided to cross back from the coast all the way back to Mex 1, find some gas, and take another dirt road another 50 miles out to the coast. The new
Tundra performed well.
The sun set, and we thought we were lost, driving in total darkness on some obscure random road, until Baja paid us off by dropping us off on a
secluded beach. We were exhausted. Tents up, passed out.
The pictures will tell the rest of the journey. Gotta go..................
WASHOUT
Had to take the long way around.....................added an hour.

Nice find. I got some new racing stripes coming thru that narrow corridor. I should've tried the mud estuary crossing just outside of town but I had
4 kids with me and didn't feel like ruining our day if we got stuck.

I LOVE your family road trip chronicles, Ateo.
Experience enables you to recognize a mistake every time you repeat it.

Nice photo essay of that portion of the Baja coast.
I know this isn't generally discussed much around here, given the reluctance to discuss it, but...................
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME THE RESPECT THAT THE VELVET UNDERGROUND AND NICO ALBUM HAS THESE DAYS???!!!!!! Most influential album ever by Rolling
Stone???? The band has four albums in their top 500 of all time? Even the curmudgeon, Robert Christgau likes it??? They beat untold numbers of more
deserving acts into the R and R HOF???
I just dont get it. It's like a dissonant, monotonous album that is a cross between Pentangle (whom I like) and a bad, punk band, with Dylan-like
vocals (and that's RARELY good!).
Femme Fatale, There She Goes Again and European Son are the only listenable songs, IMO.
WHAT'S THE ATTRACTION???????

Thanks for an interesting topic.
I like to torture myself musically that's why I was listening to this album. Hhahahahahaha.
Actually I had it on shuffle and this song just came up.
When I was living in Alaska I bought a velvet underground box set and all I can tell you is kept me alive for six months. They are a reminder that
music can make you feel weird, and that artistic vision is a component of all good art. Whatever that means.
