baja june 2012

Thanks again, you guys are awesome. I wish I hadnt gotten down here so early, but still may hang around to get this fixed and surf, as I have barely even done that.

I think I would be in better shape had it happened on the mainland, but also dont want to go there and see I am wrong. A quick google on chevy in baja has some guy complaining about the chevy places here and saying he needs to drive back to SD...which is why I dont have high expectations for the area, baja is certainly a different animal than mainland in both good and bad ways. Who knows, maybe his problem was different, or he was just complaining. I do not want to come across as complaining, this is all part of the adventure, just gotta take it for what it is.

I wanted to let you know that the G 20 Summit will be in Cabo, and I am not sure if this will effect your travel but just in case be prepared for very tight security and traffic jams

Hey man greatly appreciated...but no longer necessary. I am going to run back, that way I can get a title signed over to my dad for a car just sitting around, get some tint with uv protection on my fronts (found a tint place in Cabo, but after 2 rounds of skin cancer dont know that I trust when they say "uv protection") and clean up a few other minor issues.

You and XJINTX rock though, we could have easily fixed my van down here. I havent even given myself much time to surf, so once I get back to Mex I am making sure to slow it down, the waves have looked great, you guys will have a blast. Don't worry about the security, while there are tons cops and military driving around everywhere, its more like a parade than anything. They are not even stopping people they just wave everyone through...more show than anything, at least at this point. I have had such a good time in Baja I may come back this way after I get it fixed instead of going straight to the mainland, so maybe we will still have a chance to meetup, depending on how long I take.

Since I completely derailed your thread, my apologies, here's a short list for none camping on mx 1 after guerro negro since your prob already on the road. Stop outside catalina for some quick, great pics. Santa Rosalita has a great little centro if I recall, don't let the outskirts fool you looks run down with all the construction. Meluge is also a nice little town used to tourists. Loreto is a great place to hangout and feels a bit more clean and modern after some of the places you'll be going through, and of course the la Paz area by the maleacon is nice, but it doesn't liven up till the suns setting, when everyone goes running or walking on the malacon but your so close to home you may just want to skip that. Looking forward to the pics and stories

Bring her. No problem. Drove to Cabo from Los Angeles in June of 2011. Zero issues. Drove to Loreto for New Years with the GF and kids. Zero issues.
