Providing Directions
Nomads,
When providing directions to a Baja location, please refer to north south, west, and/or east rather than "left or right".... as these are sometimes
useless when not knowing from which direction the info provider is traveling.
Lat and long can be helpful, but not everyone uses GPS (I do sometimes).
Just sayin....
Gracias

I'd rather not. When in doubt keep turning left.

If you don't have a compass how is east, west, north and south going to help? If you are given a starting point then left, right and straight have a
real meaning. I have a compass in my GMC but not my Tacoma. Also my GMC only shows N, S, E, and W. What about NE and SW etc. One could get really
lost.

Yeah man, which way is up? I've been accused of not knowing.  But I hear ya. I
was thinking about NE, SE, SW, and NW. And then there NNE, SSE, etc.
But, making a left, then another left, then another left, then another left doesn't get you far.

Why don't we tell each other where the spot is and we figure it out ourselves.
All of my cars have a tide guide and a compass.

Yes, and when the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars you're getting close to Tres Santos.

If you can't tell E-W-N-S on the Baja peninsula? You better stay in Oxnard....

That's correct. If you keep turning left, pretty soon you're going right. Right?
