Bad Lines in Baja - spring 2023

[Cleandezert]

this would be amazing... i am a solid maybe... but would be pumped on going on a trip down there.
Elliot bring the shitbox so we can bring up the back going slow as shit.

Those dates sound good to me!

Lets GO!

 

[Giant Geoff]

I have a place in Ensenada we can leave trailers and tow vehicles and stay at a friends house in Percebu below San Felipe. It will be fun to check out the Chenoweth, museum bar, restaurant and hotel.

x2 on the chenoweth museum. Seems like we're always too busy to go when I'm down in SF.

 

[DesertGoat]

man every time I go to the Chenowth museum I end up pulling some jabronie out of the mud flats and wobbling my way out of their bar.
So I'm down.

someone mentioned going Bowling - that place is unfortunately closed down.
I'm bummed about the good times, but the fact that I don't have to take omoxicillin afterwards is a silver lining

so this is shaping up. Memorial day 2023
Ensenada - San Felipe, ish.
Geoff is ensenada an overnight option or parking only?

I went bowling last year at the SF 250.

From my understanding they opened but aren't fully open like they used to be.

I had to opt out of the bowling experience because I was racing the following day. My wife on the other hand...

Wife and friends...



What we drove down there haha. I wanted to look like a local.

 

[DesertGoat]

I ain't forgotten about this.

Our first launch attempt is 2/25, likely to delay into march.
I'll start planning in earnest after that.

holding 5/27-5/30 as the dates for this
Memorial Day weekend, saturday to Tuesday.
1 pto day.

will look for commitments/money for hotels ~end of April

 

[charlie brown]

you know i am always down for a baja run.

 

[Turboyota]

Holy shitballs! I really want to do this. Going to throw more miles at my newly rebuilt truck to verify reliability, but I’m likely down.

This is trip is high on my list also…
I kinda have a place in Erendira that could be available to us.
if I go, I would stay til the next week, I’ve heard rumors of 12 hour lines and
multiple crossing locations involved….
so if it works out, let’s fish and cruise the pacific side a few extra days.

 

[Giant Geoff]

We are a go for May 26th. We have a group that is going to pre-run part of the B500, stay at Eric's house in San Felipe with a free day to hang out and hit more of the race course on the way home. Let me know if anyone is in?
There can be a 2nd group if you have a different date or route, you what to do?

 

[theycallmeWALLY]

May 26th with Geoff it is!

 

[Giant Geoff]

We are a go for may 26th. You’ll need to book rooms at tha Villa Marina Friday night $110 for 2 beds you can split or Hotel Dubai is $35 for one bed. We have a free house in San Felipe Saturday and Sunday nights. I’ll plan the route after SCORE releases the B500 map. We have a few couples so bring your chicks.

I loved the last trip down to Baja but I won't have anything to take this year. Maybe next year for me. Have fun everyone. The adventure is the whole trip so make shitty choices but not shitty enough to dnf and ruin days or the trip.

 

[theycallmeWALLY]

Thanks for the heads up and planning sir! Let’s hope I can make this! Maybe it’ll be my first Baja trip in the bronco!
