There is no border stop going south into Mexico. You just pass over some south facing tire spikes, past some young soldiers with automatic weapons and your in...
This is the first beach in Mexico, had to let Willow out.
This was my 4th day driving. After days of 7,8,&9 hours in the truck i decided to make Thursday a short drive. Stopped just south of Ensenada at the Estero Beach resort.
Friday drove to Guero Negro, a military base on the 28 parallel.
This town is the closest to the grey whales mating area.
Was woken up by quite revelry @ 5:45am. Louder revelry @ 6am. Did you know that the military had a snooze alarm?
My accomodations were extremely sparse.
A bed and cold shower.
Hit the road early 7am, but lost an hour when I crossed the 28 parralel into the nountain time zone.
Saturday Willow and I had tacos in Mulege, then hit this beach just South of there at Concepcion bay.
Driving is tough in Mexico: no shoulders, on a two lane undivided highway. My strategy was to draft behind a fast local driver. Most of the time it was military humvees, kinda like Joe's personal military escort. Much less mental effort following a large truck and you know they will clear the way.
Sunday I followed a bus doing 120km/h on the 60 km/h road
