Baja II - El viaje de locura

Hey Now! Here's the basic plan.

Labor Day weekend is Aug 30th-Sep 1st.

Meet at the usual spot - Burger King - Dairy Mart Rd. Morning 30th, 10:00AM. (Ron can get more BBQ sauce) Drive down to Ensenada via Mexico 1 - exact route TBD Drive through Ensenada (quick check in at the hotels) to "La Bufadora" on Punta Banda for a nice relaxing ride and enjoy the "Bufing" of the Bufadora. Take some sweet pictures of the Cars against the sea and coast line. Drive back to Ensenada and check in to the hotels. Maybe a little more driving for the "not feint of heart". Dinner and debauchery in Ensenada Saturday night

Sunday we drive up Mexico 3 to Tecate, maybe stop at the brewery and/or a vineyard on the way up (If they are open on Sunday). Cross the border and drive towards Jamul (CA 94) and then drive some twisty curvy back roads towards San Diego. Cars should be able to find there way back from there.

Hotel costs:

Santo Tomas (011-52-646-178-15-03). is full
Hotel Cortez ...178 23 07 wants $89 bucks
The Motel Caribe (011-52-646-178-34-81) wants $30 via western union direct to manager Juan Fransisco Solorzano Gomez

If needed, we can spill over into:

The Hotel Plaza (011-52-646-178-27-15) - real cheap! - Like $30

Hotels are up to you! You need to get set up quickly because it is a Holiday weekend and the availability is limited.

My preference is people make their own reservations. I'm not the PCA and I'm not chasing down people for the hotels.

For those interested, please "Sign-up" here and send me an e-mail to: redbeard@san.rr.com

See ya there!

What do I need to do to make a reservation at the hotel? Do I need to mention I am with any group?

You want all of us to send you money? And then you are going off to Mexico? Think about how that sounds. I am still in, do you want me to send it to you PayPal??? How much do you need? Let me know.

Hey, do us senior citizens get a discount??? Rosie and I might like to go but that is a ways away for my work planning. The ride back to Tecate is great as I used to do it the other way for about 10 years or so on the Tecate-Ensenada bike ride when I was younger!!

James,
They asked me if I was part of a group and it's under your name. they let me book the room - hope to hell it stuck. I'm going to call tomorrow to make sure.

I left a message on your cell to give me a call at home/office or whatever.

I'm In For The Run



I also pm'd Dave Darling asking him to make this a sticky.

James, do you expect any problems with increased traffic due to tourism and the labor day weekend?

For what we re doing, no. Plus, we are coming back on Sunday. The boarder crossing should be OK on Sunday compared to what it will be like on Monday.

Well, I knew that speaking english was not gonna work - I had my secretary (spanish speaking) call this AM to the hotel to verify that I had a reservation for a double room. I had a reservation for sure

FOR 11 ROOMS @ $103 PER NIGHT

that got changed quickly (and the price to $51.00 for a double - 2 beds).

All rooms were under James' name and with my credito carte had reserved them all - I like you guys but not that much ($1200).

So, if you don't speak spanish

FIND SOMEOME WHO DOES.
