Yeah, my time alone was good...brief recap:
- spent 3 more days on Playa Los Cerritos just kickin back writing "Baha Bohemia Bound" :sunflower...drove into Cabo san Lucas...took your suggestion Chris and parked at one of the hotels and did a longass hike on the beach out to Land's End...then got the hell out of Cabo san Lucas...felt like I was in Beverly hills!!!
--San Jose del Cabo...stayed at Tropicana Inn/Hotel (can't recall) for one night ($93) ...very nice place downtown...I really like downtown San Jose far far more the Cabo san Lucas...shops with local flavor, some cool restaurants.
---started driving the East Cape Road...brutal washboard...I said to hell with it after 4 miles and turned around...call me wimpy offroader, I don't care
...I was tired of washboard...and I couldn't go over 30 on the part I was on...would have taken 4-6 hours to drive 45 miles I think. Campers at Los Cerritos had told me that East Cape road was really bad washboard...but had to check it out for myself.
---drove up to LaRibera on pavement and then down to Cabo Pulmo and checked out los Frailles...free place to camp on beach...decent but frequently windy according to folks I talked to. lunch at Nancys in Cabo Pulmo
---towards Lareto...camped two nights at Juncalito beach (free)...would go back there...liked Lareto...lunch at Cafe Ole...popular with gringos but very good native food.
---back to Bahia Conception...camped at El Coyote 3 nights ($6/nite)...great spot a vew miles above El Requeson where we camped on way down!...had my own palapa ...could easily go back there and crash for longer...however, it's for sale so it might not be available in the future
---headed on home...lunch at Mama Espinosas again...the best Huevos rancheros I had the entire trip!...camped at Santa Ines again for one more night and headed for the border
Here are the lyrics to "Baja Bohemia Bound" :victory:
Crossin' thru Tecate, 7 a.m.
Tequila and cardons, the land I'm in,
Drivin on dirt 'til my teeth are rattlin around,
Washboard roads and ocean sounds.
Baha Bohemia Bound
Left reality at that border town
Baha Bohemia Bound
Kickin on back, just layin around
Noche estrellados, dias en el sol,
Wakin up at dawn when the roosters crow
Baha Bohemia Bound
La buena vida, come on down.
Zona de Vados, didn't know what it meant
Hit those dips too fast, now my frame rails bent.
But any ol kinda car will work down here,
You can even trade 'em for ice cold beer.
And damn my GPS, gonna thow it away,
Technology and me aint the Baja way.
I'll roll my window down, Como esta, muy bien,
Hey, Senorita, hop on in.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Instrumental)
There ain't no time like now,
Don't say you can't get away,
Forget about why and how,
Live for the day!
Baja Bohemia Bound
Tryin to get lost and never found,
Baja Bohemia Bound
La buena vida, come on down
To Baja
