July trip
I plan on leaving for Central Baja (Bahía Asunción) anywhere between July 19th and the 23rd. I will be crossing at Tecate in the AM in my one ton
GMC truck with an Alaskan camper. First stop will be at El Trailero in El Sausal for tacos, and then drive to either Pirates Cave at Camalu or
somewhere near San Quintin, maybe happy hour at Cielito Lindo. Next day either on to BA, or maybe stop and camp somewhere near Santa Rosalillita. Any
interested parties can PM me via this group or Facebook. Gracias, Paul Boe (boe4fun).
Two dirt roads diverged in Baja and I, I took the one less graveled by......

Paul, I think we met in March of 2018 at a barbeque in Bahia Asuncion. Is that where you are headed? I won't be around for the trip down, but it
would be good to see other Nomads if you are going to be in B.A. for a while.
All my trips to Baja have been shell fish runs, you know, months with an "R" in them! I was thinking about making a mid summer run at the end of
July, just to get a feel for what it might be like living there.

Hola Gary, Yes, we met before at Shari’s blow hole. I’m planning on doing some work on my trailer the first few days, then I’ll drive back to
BoLA for two days fishing con mi yerno, then return to BA with the trailer parts that my son in law brought down and finish that up. I may end up
staying through the pueblos celebration mid August. The catholic holy day of August 15th marks Mary’s ascension into heaven (Bahía Asunción = Bay
of Ascension). The town has about 4 or 5 days of partying, horse races, dances, a parade, a boat ride where they take the statue of the Virgin Mary
out to bless the various pangas and boats. Also the caballeros from all the surrounding ranchos ride their horses through the main street up to the
church where the local Padre blesses all of the animals. So, if you’re thinking of a summertime run down to BA I would suggest mid August to enjoy
the celebration, also you’re only a couple of weeks away from a shell fish month! Mid August is a little hot, but not nearly as bad as the Cortez
side, usually mid 90’s with a nice afternoon breeze to cool things down a tad, Hope to see you there!

Thanks for the feed back about the upcoming celebrations, and as in most Mexican towns I have visited, a parade is pretty much mandatory!
Than helps me firm up a plan, an Argust visit is sounding better all the time!

The Independence Day/ Night town fiesta was sure fun Sept. 15-16.
We were there in 2016 and the fireworks and Shari showing us the celebration got included in the video made by one of the members of the Baja Extreme
Tour.

If you stay at Pirates in Camalu please let me know if they’ve finished the swimming pool.
Thanks

Are the dragons a flying species? If so, they will need the traditional passport book.
If they are just going to slither across by land or sea, a passport card will do.

The weather is so nice there, especially in the summer when the weak Nomads think the Cortez side is too hot and humid!

Well, I have stayed at your Inn in the summers of 2007, 2012, 2016, and 2017. It was fabulous every time!
