DavidK need your mapping help. Camping at Alejandros, just north of Rosalillita
Anyone been to that camp spot just North of Rosaliaita. I thinks its Alejandros?
David K trying to find out on a map how far North of Rosalillaita it is. Camp spot for surfers, although we will be running up and down the beaches in
our Polaris'
Any comments or concerns?
Is there a full time resident there?
I think guys that surf stay there
Thanks in advance
Alan from San Diego

I don't know much about the area around Santa Rosalita, but Campo Renee is probably a couple hundred miles south of there. It is near Punta Abreojos.
Nice camp if you get that far south!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

It must be Alejandros

We would be leaving the Polaris to go up and down the beaches

I have been there several times and know some of the locals and the owners there...very nice folks. Depending on the time of year...and surf...it can
get real full or be empty but as far as I know it is a pretty safe camp.

it 4 miles or so. it turns into a ghetto during the surf season at times. the number of humans using two outhouses is astounding but, being the first
spot off the road, it is what it is. if people are there your stuff will be safe. if its empty you're on your own.

OK, sorry but I was making dinner tonight, then it was time to be with my bride...
OK, I see Woody already mentioned it is just a few miles north of Santa Rosalillita... and when I drove down the Seven Sisters Coast Road in 2007, I
saw the signed turnoff to it.
Here is the overall area, with a red arrow pointing the location:
Here it is pointed out on the National Geographic Baja Norte Map:
Here is the area pointed out on the 2003 Baja Almanac folding map. Note that San Andres is the historic name for this area. I believe Alejandros is
there by Puerto San Andres, or very close to there:

This time of year there are very few people around. I spent 5 days just south of there and saw 3 cars the entire time. If you go out there go the The
Wall" and see the arch thing.
I do hate map post. They are all on a AAA maps or The Almanac. But if not for maps what would he post. We should all do our own planing. The fishing
can be good however.
Yes DK, I know he asked and you're helping, no reason to defend yourself. We all need a place to shine and this is yours. Have a nice day!

Map posting is just one part of how I can help or share.
You miss my trip reports and history posts...? Many that are not about providing maps. A lot of people are visual, and printed words do not always
fulfill their need.
Maps are not your enemy... the new, good roads are! The Seven Sisters coast road has been on maps since the late 1950s... and it was bad roads that
kept the mobs away the 55+ years since. Paved and graded roads are your enemy, not books and maps.

Super easy to find. Just drive on the paved road from the 1. There is a giant graded road to the North right before you hit town. Take that and it has
signs. Should be fairly empty this time of year.

Yup,
Here is my road log from 2007 on the section of graded road north of the Santa Rosalillita highway (log from north to south):
0.0 (0.0) Beach road (Punta Lobos/ Valle los Ojitos)
6.8 (6.8) Road west to El Marron fish camp (near Punta Prieta/ Punta Negra). Road (or dirt highway here) heads away from the coast around the Sierra
San Andres.
17.0 (10.2) Cross Arroyo San Andres
17.2 (0.2) Road west signed to '3 Alejandras' (Puerto San Andres).
21.1 (3.9) Come to PAVED Santa Rosalillita highway, turn right for the coast. (Hwy. 1 is about 8 miles to the left)
22.1 (1.0) FORK, Escalera Nautica Harbor is 1.2 miles to right. Straight ahead goes to:
22.5 (0.4) Santa Rosalillita village on the beach. Gas and supplies available.
Reset trip odometer to 0.0 for the final section of this coastal road log to Hwy. 1 via Punta Rosarito.
========================================

DK,it is obvious you are a tough act to follow in terms of helping both new and old nomads navigate Baja on this forum. It is a shame others who lack
your knowledge and experience in Baja and willingness to help, resent this to the point of simply ignoring your information and moving on without
posting cutting remarks. Your maps are very helpful, and those who would prefer to wander aimlessly and "discover" interesting spots on their own
certainly have that option by simply ignoring the post.
Keep up the good work, it is appreciated.

I appreciate your reply LancairDriver, thank you!
I have been addicted to Baja since I was a kid in the'60's.
My parents were wonderful in supporting my addiction (they loved Baja too) and encouraged and supported my desire to explore and write about Baja
before I was an adult.
My dad got me started with meeting Baja authors and collecting books. My first autograph was from Ray Cannon in the 'Sea of Cortez' (1967) and around
that time, I met Howard Gulick and he signed his 'Lower California Guidebook' for me.
I saw the value in books and related to these authors in wanting to share what they saw down in the peninsula. My first guide was of the new Baja
highway and its route before it was completed... I was 15, and we had just returned from a trip to Loreto in July, 1973. I self published my road logs
and maps, and it was a local hit here in San Diego... got featured on a TV show and newspaper even!
Baja Nomad is simply the newest way to transfer Baja travel information, and it is instant... no printing, distribution, and it is free!
Don't want to read about what is happening in Baja? Then don't read the web pages. Simple! It is an information age, and my travel posts or maps can
never replace going there in person... No possible way I can show all that there is in a few (or many) photos or words. If it sounds interesting to
you, then go and see for yourself. You will see and experience a lot more than I did or can relate with a post here.
I know someday, there will be a final Baja trip for me... I hope not for a long time, but when I can't go back to Baja, I will have my photos and maps
to enjoy for years to come. If I am lucky, or the economy finally recovers for us in time, then I would like to live my last years in Baja and have
our children and grandchildren visit as much as possible.
Those Nomads who no longer go to Baja or can't get there as soon as they want, can enjoy the posts on BajaNomad.com or VivaBaja.com as long as Doug's
and my web sites are still online!
