    El Camino Del Diablo: (2/23-26/2006)

    [EDIT] Sorry, I didn't see that a 6th page was started, and didn't see the post from Al. That's definitely cool if it's an all-in-one permit good for both. Thanks Al! Disregard the original post below. I'm fairly certain we will need one...

    My new vehicle: 2005 Nissan Frontier

    I use 2wd on dirt roads quite often. As long as there is good traction and higher speeds, I enjoy it. It can make steering easier in some places too, where traction is very high, or multi-point turns are required. Fuel economy can be improved as well, though that depends on variables. Example...

    :smileeek: :eek: :smileeek: :eek: :smileeek: :eek: Vince! Damn, I am really glad you made it through that. :victory: Yes, those narrow Baja highways are definitely a substantial risk. It is indeed "roulette" to some degree, which is why when Sharon and I go down there on our own trips, we...

    What about the permits for the section through Cabeza Prieta NWR? We need those as well, no?

    Baja California Norte 2005/6 (Not Scott's trip!)

    You're trying to prove just how desolate that road is? "Hey guys, watch this. I bet you a beer that nobody will come along before I am done... "

    Baja California Norte 2005/6 (Not Scott's trip!)

    :xxrotflma Wow, new desktop wallpaper! Thanks Chuck! (and Brian! I know I can't go wrong thanking "Brian" for the pic, since they are both named Brian. It's kind of like going on a trip with Darrel and Darrel).

    Bajataco's Baja trip report - Dec. 05

    I don't doubt the lush riparian wilderness. And I don't doubt the bear used to live in SoCal, but I am skeptical of the grizz living at that altitude in that country. (mesquites?) I'm not disputing, just curious. :lurk:

    Bajataco's Baja trip report - Dec. 05

    Jeff, excellent tales you are sharing with us! Hard to imagine steamers coming in from the Cortez, and traveling way up the Colorado to deliver supplies and people. Definitely share the pics if you have the time. That would be great. I have also read about the tidal bore there, and I can only...

    My new vehicle: 2005 Nissan Frontier

    Well, according to the ExWest boss-man it looks like I am in. ;) See you (and your Nissan) there. :D Yep. I see what you mean. BUT, I think it will be a rare instance that you will have a problem with that. The conditions have to be just right, and you likely won't have the pedal mashed to...

    El Camino del Diabl:sunny: I am a "definite" :D Hopefully Mrs. Baja will be along. If not, I will secure a passenger, as this is one not to miss, and a seat absolutely cannot go wasted.

    Thanks KC and Robb LOL! Yea, we had that tortilla bag open before I could even get the truck in reverse! Actually, Sharon is the big Guinness fan :elkgrin: I like 'em too, but I prefer a little "sweeter". I'm a sucker for oatmeal stouts, porters and nut browns, among others. (shhhh.. my...
