Jeez Bob. That is expensive. Did you make it home without any more smoke?

Trip back was uneventful, ran great all the way, BUT.....Harness on order, to arrive next Monday from Michigan. Melted old harness and some of the connectors, mechanic said should have never made it back. No smoke coming home. $1700 for harness, $950 for labor to pull dash and replace harness plus TAX.

We plugged in a compressor to air up my tires for the trip back, the ciggarette lighter shorted out to start the electrical fire. Harbor Freight fuze melted but did not break the circut. BUT it was totally worth it to enjoy Baja with Ross, Sven and Jeff!!!!!!

Congrats on the PBs.
Never been down there before. Can you find diesel fuel as easily as reg. gas?

Absolutely no problem with diesel gas. It is at every Pemex station.

I like the post, it tells a lot of what the trip was like. Very impressive fish you got there, congrats.

I want everyone to have fun fishing but be forewarned a trip like this takes planning and has risks.
You need a passport, a VISA, mexican insurance, and plenty of time to travel in daylight hours ONLY. Do not drive at night.

Make sure you realize how lucky you are going there problem free. Others, including me have no been so lucky.

No corrupt police looking for $$?
No cows on the road?
No dangerous truck drivers?

Sounds like a blast to me.

It was a blast, trip was planed to drive, convoy during the day, 10 hours the first day and 3 hours the second. We did see a few cows, and the usual trucks, but we were careful, and not really in a hurry. We were all over 40 and there to fish. We bought 2 cases of beer and were respectful of the locals, we even had the military pay us a short visit one evening, maybe 15 minutes, they asked a few questions, looked around and left. Just 10 days in paradise. Might do the same trip for Thanksgiving this year, ANY takers?
