So here we go...
I drove my 1994 4X4 Ford Sportsmobile. Also along with me were my brother Hal and his girl friend Janet. They were in thier 1996 F250 4X4 diesel with a FourWheel Camper. Also Janet's brother and his wife. Lucky for us they are both fluent in the Spanish language. They have a F250 4X4 and a FWC too. We had a good trip and I thought I would give you an update.
Day one: We left the campground at San Ysidro (Pacific Rv) and headed for the border. We went through Tijuana and headed south. After going through the usual toll booths we arrived in Ensenada. We shopped and toured a little. We went to the fish market and exchanged a little money. We got 10.73 on the current exchange rate. We drove out on Hwy 23 and went to La Bufadora and camped. The cost was $10. The showers were cold and we were the only campers in the RV park. The ocean was calm.

If you thought the road was bad last year "you ain't seen nothin' yet"! What a horrific road. I told myself I would never travel that stretch again. We go to where we camped at Gonzaga Bay and there were 25 ft waves crashing onto the beach. Way to windy to camp. We moved on farther north. As we entered San Felipe there was a "white out" from blowing sand off the beach. Sand was piled in the roadway. My brother and his party decide to get a room out of the wind. They stayed at George's Motel. I opted to stay in my Sportsmobile and went the campground we stayed in last year. Here is where things get exciting...There is a bar (Bandio's) that just re-opened. The back door opens up next to the los Bano's (bathrooms) at the RV park. The music was loud. The bar closed a 3AM! What I didn't know was someone was parked in the RV park that was in the bar. I had been trying to sleep over the noise and singing and had finally fallen asleep. With a loud metallic crunch and the rocking of my van I knew I had been hit. My alarm went off and lights and horns were sounding. I jump from my sleep and ran out in just my shorts to see the vehicle taking off out of the park. Did they stop...Hell No! Lucky for me only a very little mark was left on my Sportsmobile. But they surely smashed up thier left front fender but good. Little to say I had a very sleepless night. I was unable to find the manager to tell her. I did explain to some of the other guests why my alarm had sounded. That's when I heard about the wild fires in California.
