I might consider it. I have to be up North of Fairbanks AK by the first part of April.

From La Laguna San Ignacio where we will be seeing the whales it would be really cool to drive along the coastal route to San Juanico (Scorpion Bay) which is one of our favorite places.

For those who are thinking 7 days is all we can afford to escape, does it make sense to aim towards meeting at or near the US/Mex border rather early on Sat, Mar 1st? Being from Phx, there's a short cut we can take that saves us an hour. We're comfortable driving in Mexico (mostly 'cuz Karla speaks Spanish, and I'm just a bit ignorant) but we'd happily meet up with other 7 day folks at any border just to get the caravan started.

For any of you who have nothing better to do 6 weeks out but to plot and map a trip, or if like ne you just got the Baja Almanac, here is the BSMB's itinerary in abbreviated form;

What's the difference between in-laws and outlaws?



At least outlaws are wanted.

For those that would like to add some more dirt roads to the trip, I would highly recommend the road south from BoLA to Pta. San Fransisquito and out to Hwy-1 through El Arco. This will put you just under 60 miles from San Ignacio.

There are some amazing beaches and vistas along this route, as well as the fly-in 'resort' at San Fransquito that is a great stopover.

The road south of Bahia is chewed up in spots but we did the first thirty miles of this route down to Las Animas in June all in 2-wd and had a blast doing it!
