San Ignacio April 2010

Jay,

I checked the calendar and Easter is Apr 4th next year. I'm not sure about San Ignacio but the Mulege area and northern Baja are not places to be anytime around Easter. We usually try to be out of there at least a week before Easter. 2 years ago we were there a couple of weeks after Easter and the beaches were trashed. I'm thinking I'll be heading down early March next year.

Jay-I am interested in a Baja trip.I have never been there and the group thing sounds good.The 1st week in March works for me ,but I am flexable.

Dick, Not to mention the 3 hours getting through the drunks in San Felipe. I agree with you but Easter week varies from college to college. Since Easter is April 4th it should be easy to plan around it.
 
Now you see why I'm planing this for ahead.


Speaking of planning ahead, I really want to go. BUT it can't happen, ALL of my 2010 vacation time is committed.

BUT count me in as a definite maybe for 2011. Especially if the pics are good! (Take lots of pics!!!!)

Jay,

It's not the college kids - it's the locals. They send the navy to the Bahia Concepcion beaches to control the crowds.

Any Mexican worth a kilo of tortillas heads for the coast for Semana Santa. Not a good time to be around unless you are going seriously boondocking..Prolly the only area in all of Baja not affected is the seven sisters area..Pta Canoas to Pta Sta Maria, Pac side. Wish I was there right now!

Okey Dokey,
I have a lot of I wishes and maybes and plenty of suggestions and I am thankful for all of your input......But....The three commitments I have are all for the first week in April. The plan is to meet in Calexico around 8 or 8:30 Saturday April 3,2010 and get going as soon as everyone is ready. This is not yet cast in bronze but the lost wax process is finished so if you have another suggestion the time is now.

I am also interested in joining the group and can go whenever the dates are set, let me know. I've been wanting to travel south of the border to see the whales, but I'am always concerned with safety first. I am not familiar with all the necessary paperwork so please let me know what I'd need to do ahead of time and if we would be boondocking so I could prepare. I am coming from the Coachella Valley so Iam only 1 hr 30 min from Calexico.
 
Desert Dweller,
Welcome aboard. Here are some links with good info.

You must buy Mexican auto insurance. USA insurance isn't valid in Mexico. The dates above are pretty much it but I'll let you know if there's a change. As you know Life Happens.
 
4 vehicles and counting. Don't miss this chance to see the whales with fellow adventurers as well as jammin' around the campfire with the Blue Grass Campers. Here's a bit of our White Rim trip last month and Jamming at the Recapture Lodge in Bluff.

No doubt this will be a good time and a great way to make my first Baja adventure. I think I might accept your invitation. Not 100% committed yet because it's a long haul from Oregon plus I have to complete some projects around the property this winter, but my plan is to join the party.
Thanks,
JB

I do believe a passport is required to drive across the border (at least back into the USA).

Does anyone know if any dog vaccinations are required or recommended before going south of the border, or back north?
 
I hope you can make 2llamas.



I would suggest you not bring a dog to Baja. I can't quite remember the details but I have known some people who have brought their dog and regretted it.

They say you need a health certificate verifying your dog has had a rabies vaccination (to get back into the U.S.), I've yet to be asked to show it in nearly 10 years of traveling to Baja (with my dogs). That said, better safe than sorry, it's an easy trip to the vet and will cost you nothing. I can't imagine traveling to Baja without my trusty hound!

I was asked for the paperwork coming back into the US from Canada. Why would Baja be a bad place to take your dog?

Tacos?
 
Tacos?

Two of my dogs can eat a taco faster than they can taste it. All 3 can eat a rotting stomach and suffer nothing worse than really bad gas. I wish I had the digestive system of a dog; it would be fun to "crop dust" a few offices at work after eating what they can eat.
As long as there are no diseases that I need to worry about, then I'm happy. I'll be sure to bring their rabbis certificates as well as the rabbis tags they wear on their collars.
