more baja brilliance

after visiting eric and the fam in san felipe we meandered washboard roads south through some of the more deserted and deserty areas of baja. little beach towns, little islands, lots of jumping fish, coyotes and quicksand. this is where you disappear from the law for those of you looking for a good spot.

met Coco a loco man on the baja 1000 route south who fixes bikes, buggies, keeps a most artistic guest book about six inches thick, collects girls underwear that they leave, builds beer can castles and has a fridge with nothing but stacked mexican beer inside. quite a sight. he gave us a good spot to camp southward and we hit it at sunset pulling clams from the flats, steaming and feasting on them, drinking tecate and watching thousands of frigate birds fly by silhouetted in the colorful sky. found an "unlocked" cabana right on the beach to poach and then paid off the mexican dude in the morning for the cabana and the sea kayaks to cruise around the laguna.

baja gets better as you go south. oasis cities, loreto, la paz and everything in between.. amazing. we took time to install our little seniorita and pick up a hitchhiker named bruno who knew augusta was the capital of maine. crazy.

ferry to mainland mexico greeted by a dead battery and a push start down the ferry ramp to get her going. we are in oaxaca now and headed to some ruins. more to come...
