It’s 1:35am on Saturday and I’m about an hour away from leaving for San Ignacio, in Mexico’s state of Baja. I’m riding down with my buddy Dave and his grandson, Seth. The drive will take around 15 hours.
We’re meeting in Fontana at 3am and should be at the border around 5am. We’ll stop in TJ, just across the border, to pick up our FMT cards which allow us to travel south of Ensenada. We’ll stop a few times for gas and maybe lunch at Mama Espinoza’s in El Rosario, but basically we’re trying to get to San Ignacio before the wild things come out after dark.
Tomorrow we’ll go whale watching in San Ignacio’s lagoon, then we’re planning on heading out into the desert’s mountains to search of ancient Indian petroglyphs. We’re planning on staying in motels each night but one (desert tent camping on the last night). We’ll be back on Wednesday night…
I had thought I’d update the blog from the road, but now I’m planning on jotting down some notes and taking plenty of pictures so I can write about it when I get home.
And to all a good night,
Mateo
