I'm thinking grilled pizzas. What do we have for a grill down there currently? Fresh ingredients and trader joes dough. Anyone done this before?

We have a GMG Davy Crocket Pellet Smoker/Grill. This holds a tight temp anywhere from 150 to 550 degrees. You can easily bake breads, pies, pizza, you name it. I also have pizza stone you can do 15x12 pizzas, maybe 2 at a time, if I figure a way to stack them. There are also 2 weber charcoal grills and Buddha has used one of them to do some GREAT pizzas a few trips back. The smoker will impart a light fruit wood flavor to the pizza. It will also cook/smoke any meat you might want to try, I did ribs and a tenderloin that were to die for. Smoked fish no problem. Tight Lines.

Hey sivak, I think Im going to end up cooking actually. Im sure you can find someone on the trip who is doing a dinner at the restaurant.

We will get some pictures of your place on this trip Bob. I slacked off on the video and pictures last time I was down and regretted it. The fishing was just too hot to put my rod down.

Im hoping to be in Abreojos during these dates (depends on work). If so, maybe I'll plan on stopping by on the way down or on the way back for a few days from Abreojos.

Staying at campo rene? Try to find a dude by the name of Chelan at the cooperativa. He is a commercial fisherman down there who, if Okayed by his boss can take americans out fishing for the day. They have a couple of 23' super pangas that are pretty comfortable. Very affordable and the guy has some very good grouper and and yellowtail spots.

I stay there and on the point camping. Definitely my favorite place to fish in Baja with the variety of fishing it offers. Though I've never been to Gonzaga.

What route are you driving???? Usually people go down Highway 1 from TJ through Guerro Negro and on to Abreojos. 13 hour drive. To get to Gonzaga from Highway 1 you have to take a turn at Chapala and go through Coco's Corner which is about 25 miles of dirt road in fair to good condition, I made this crossing last week. From Rancho Grande to Highway 1 took an hour and 15 minutes but I was pushing it. Coming back at a safer pace it took an hour and a half. Feel free to stop by and join us for dinner a night or two if you can. Tight Lines.

Thanks for update on laguna chapala bob. Might be taking that soon. Saves about 1.5-2 hours on the trek south

BRANDON, yes crossing at MEXICALI and going down mex 5 thru San Filipe, Gonzaga, Chapala back to mex 1 is quicker, prettier, and an easier drive, less mountains, fewer topes, less policia, fewer trucks and less traffic. That does make it faster and maybe smarter fuel wise. Tight Lines.

My sentri application has been pending review for the last month, but I should have it by this trip. Bob do you have sentri? If so maybe I can follow you the best way on the way back.

I have Slime portable inflator. I use it on my Jeep when I go off-roading. It pumps pretty quick, don't bother wasting your time on one of those from Harbor Freight.

Just received it today.

A couple of concerns after reading the enclosed information pamphlet.

Do not run more than 10 minutes. Rest for 15 minutes between uses.

To inflate (4) tires, that is a lot of waiting.

Do not run engine while connected to battery.

Wouldn't running the comp. for at least (40) minutes, run the car battery down?

I guess I have to do some dry runs.
