Love the Baja desert

Hey how do you know I wasn't filming while driving 
No you're right she filmed it.
I agree the colors of the barrel cactus are amazing. If anyone wants to skip the video to the barrel cactus , they are at 1:00
Our post Christmas Baja trip fell thru so it look like we will have more time to do a couple Borrego trips
Here is one more

Awesome video. I'm with David, you have a gyro mount for that camera? Those cirios are really green and loaded with leaves. Last time I was there was in summer and they looked pretty barren. Tom

Wow, I so miss it down there! Last trip was about 8 years ago on a surf/kayak trip to scorpion Bay (san juanico) and Bay of LA!...Since kids I just haven't mustered up the courage to take them down there. Bob, is it safe to go down there? The Gray Whales may change our mind in the near future! Does anyone know when the best time to go down and see them?

We used to go every 3-4 months and after the 3rd child we stopped and haven't been back..almost 18 years now. Do I miss baja? yes...but home is also a nice place to be if you just look around. I used to travel all over Europe and South America and home is just fine for me now.

Sorry
Totally missed this post. We usually go down twice a year and really haven't had any problems.
The Grey Whales at San Ignacio were awesome and I will do that trip again.
The best time is late Winter to early Spring
Another option if you do not want to deal with he hassle of driving is to fly into La Paz and rent a car. I think there might also be a small airport at Guerro Negro
With regards to surf, I probably got some of the best waves of my life 2 years ago in Central Baja

If anyone wants to do a Baja trip to whale watch at Ojo de Liebre or Laguna de San Ignacio, how about adding on Sierra San Francisco, one of the world's greatest rock art sites. The Great Murals were best described in Harry Crosby's fantastic book, "Cave Paintings of Baja California: Discovering the Great Murals of an Unknown People." Have been to the most accessible site, Cueva de Raton but it's nothing compared to others located in a canyon below Sierra SF. Would require a 1-2 day backpack trip (or have donkeys carry you and all your supplies) into the canyon and hiring a guide. If anyone wants to do this trip, let me know! Tom

LOL the last time we went down no passport needed either, just our license. I don't even have a passport! My wife forgot her license and they sent us into secondary, and read me the riot act. a few pics from our trip...this is a point due west from bay of LA. Seeing these dudes with their truck camper rigs inspired me to start searching for a truck camper. We slept in a tent, the air mattress sprung a hole and we ended up sleeping on hard rocks. I woke up in the morning and the other guys are all getting out of their rigs with coffee in hand, and a great night sleep, ready to surf all day.
