Southern Exposure

As we sail closer to the coast of mainland Mexico, I bid Baja farewell. The deserts have been spectacular. As we head into warmer and more humid climates, I think I will miss the relative comfort of the dry desert heat. I would advise anyone within striking distance of taking a ride down to at least Cataveña to see the boulder fields and cactus.

I would like to thank the guys at MotosBaja for fixing my bent pannier for free. They played a great joke on me when they got started. He put the pannier on the workbench and just as I was turning away he took a metal hammer and just pounded the workbench as hard and as loud as he could. My eyes must have popped out of my head; I turned around expecting to see him thrashing my poor pannier. Everyone had a good laugh including me. He put the hammer away and used a heavy jack to re expand the pannier from the inside, and it’s as near good as new now. If you’re ever in Baja, stop in and visit these guys, they’re great.
