Baja Pics

Postby avejoe » Wed Mar 14, 2012 12:28 pm

Well I fianlly got around to posting some of the pictures from our January-February moto trip from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas and back. No quads, but we did some dirt.

Starting out in a pissing rain in San Diego. WTF, I though SD was 80 degrees and sunny all year round.

Image


The best part of the trip was food. Food and finding food was the mission of each day. Finding cervesa was key to the mission.

Image


Obligatory shot of Bird Poop Rock south of San Felipe.

Image


Road ends without warning. The start of 40 miles of dirt.

Image


Where the fugawee?

Image


In the dirt in a cactus forest.

Image


Obligatory shot of Coco at Coco's Corner.

Image


Dude, I can't hear a word you're saying.

Image


Expressing my feelings for pavement after 70 miles of sandy, washboard, dusty dirt roads. My bike was a pig in the sand.

Image


We stayed at this abondonded house right on the beach. Spent the night listening to a great band and chatting it up with Jesse "The Body" Ventura. No shit. One of the most random days ever!

Image


Driving into the hotel lobby for the night.

Image


Riding on the beach.

Image


"These are burro burritos?" "You're messing with me?" He wasn't and there were pretty good.

Image


Riding some dirt.

Image


This is what happens when a gringo tries to tow his boat over Mexican washboard.

Image


Just riding along...

Image


"Mas cervasas, por favor". All the Spanish I need to know.

Image


More beach.

Image


Run for the border...

Image


Finish in San Diego.

Image


2,500 miles in 11 days. Great trip. I want to go back.

You ride mtn bikes. You've ridden in the sand before. Imagine riding a mtn bike with slicks in the sand. While wearing a 50lb backpack.

Looks like you guys had a blast! I was following you on Facebook and almost fell out of my chair when you posted the picture of partying with Ventura. Too cool!
