I have been looking forward to this TR since you said you were doing a two week trip to Baja. Your report did not disappoint. Just one thing - you can't put in a photo of a bandaged finger and then say "Don't Ask". At least we know DD didn't do it to you. Posted Image


I reckon you are right Ted though the story isn't very interesting.

The trusty hound comes up to me with a big piece of wood to throw for him to fetch and I see rusty nails sticking out of the end of it so I hammer them back into the wood, all was good for awhile... until it wasn't. I hucked it good and hard but one of the nails had backed out a little and ripped the f#%k out of my finger. Oh well, Mexico, rusty nail, finger ripped open, why worry??...nuthin' good ole Dr. Tecate can't take are of! Sheesh, what a jack ass. Nobody saw that coming did they?

Great post Sunman, thanks for sharing. Good to hear the troubles elsewhere in Mexico have not made their way to Baja.

That's a dream trip for me. Thanks for sharing. Great photos too.
I've spent time in Loreto, Punta Chivato, etc. and always enjoyed Baja.
To travel with a FWC camper, plus dog & co-pilot; well that's pretty nice.

I've just made the leap and have had my Hawk for over a month, but Baja will have to be
on The List.

Great report Suni. I had to get the Baja map out to follow. Someday I'll get down there in the summer and do the Pacific side.
Gota love the food and drink at Bertha's. One of my favorite spots.
I thought the copilot was flying back from Cabo. Did you forget to drop her at the airport?

A little persuasion on my part, i told her there was no way to see it all in a week and I really didn't want to have an itinerary. Plus, two weeks barely scratches the surface. She concurs fully now.
