santa rosalita

Well we are in Santa Rosalita now. Yesterday we did 60 or 70 off road miles after soaking and camping at an awesome hot spring in portocitos. that was the first time i have soaked on the shores of a sea. I mean right on the shore. pretty cool stuff. soon after portocitos the pavement ended and the fun began. when i say dirt i mean dirt, not gravel. Big difference. The road was rough rock and sand. Very different when your bike is loaded. We wanted to ride some of the baja 1000 course and ride it we did. The race did come through here this year in nov. All i could think about was racers screaming by at 100 miles an hour. Crazy stuff. someday i will be back to witness it first hand. We passed up co cos corner. He was made famous by the movie Dust to Glory. one of my favorites. if you have not seen it you should.
Anyway baja is crazy. in some areas there is lots of vegitation and cacti. While in others it is totally baron of any life at all. some of the cacti here are 30 feet tall. Huge. Camille almost hit a road runner bird today. Thats the first time i have seen one of them. And yes it ran away fast with its mohauk standing straight up. They say the fishing is good here so i will give it a try in the morning. thats enough for now. till next time.

  2. Was the water cold or hot? Your trip so far sounds fun and adventurous even though you aren't that far in. How are you going to cross the water with your bikes since they aren't amphibious? Love your blog. Take care. Tell Camille we love her.
