BAJA or BUST 2017 Trips

[buddha]

Ok Monstahfish and I are getting my fmm stamped and he will get his fmm at san ysidro this friday so won't have to stop at mexicali

[makobob]

My next door neighbor has allowed the use of his place and two bathrooms for the past 20 years. Time to get my own. Of course if you are a hard core camper there is the outback behind camp or for you Hobie guys I hear you just remove your drives. Sorry Dark Side humor.

Add shovel to your list

[makobob]

I bet a Boy Scout could figure this out. Do not forget your TP for the trip down.

[Mahigeer]

I do have one of these,

But I had already packed one of these:

With nine people there, I knew there may be a line at times!

Good tip for the TP for the road. On the Pacific side, there were very nice gas stations. One even had shower!

[makobob]

YES but most of the time TP is not available.

Just got back from a few days camping at Carpinteria State Beach for the Avocado Festival. When I got back I received my Insurance paperwork & FMM forms (yeah). My plan is to drive to San Diego on Friday the 16th to get the FMM stamped and exchange some dollars for pesos. Then load up my travel partners gear to be ready for 5:00 am on the 17th.

So ready for this.....

[makobob]

Sounds like you guy's have your stuff together. See you soon.
DID I mention BLOCK ICE
it lasts twice as long as regular ice.

Monstahfish and I are planning on going to the border to take care of our FMMs on Friday also. Maybe we can all go there together. Let me know.

[MrPukaShell]

I am not sure at this point when I will leave my house. Friday's are such a crap shoot on the freeways. I could leave early in the am and try to beat the traffic or leave around 9:00 am and hope for smooth sailing. But to answer your question as far as meeting up, yes that would be fine with me. I was planning on walking across, get FMM stamped and walk right back. What time were you thinking about getting this done?

Monstahfish and I are going to fish in Chula Vista until about 11AM or so and then go to the border. The average border time wait is not that long on Fridays at 1 PM probably about 45 minutes. Maybe if you are down here we can meet and drive down there together.

Hot off of the presses.

Mike Scales
Will be joining us for this trip. Mike is a great fisherman and has done well on past trips to Gonzaga. Mike will take us to the restaurant for his cook night. We are now 9 Days and counting. Stay safe guys!!! BTW SDROB and I will be making a material run down Friday and Saturday, Svendawg and Eod will be coming down to prefish starting Saturday. Hope you guys are getting some sleep NOW, you might not later.

[Mahigeer]

I hope the regulars that are going early, leave some fish for the rest of us.


I am seeing the "light at end of the tunnel" when it comes to preparation for the trip.

Even got some Pesos the other day.

Hashem, there will be plenty of fish for us. There are miles of rubble that NEVER get fished. Almost no one fishes the island. Trucks can be loaded and it is possible to fish, anywhere from Puertocitos to Gonzaga, or Punta Final. That is 45 miles to choose from. Catch all the fish,
I THINK NOT!!!

Are you all planning a trip to the freaking Galapagos Islands? Paved road, plenty of gas stations...beautiful location with lots of chrome eating fish in Mexico. Cook on your night. Bring ice. Enough said.

If DefJack cracks a smile at you...it doesn't necessarily mean anything...

Clean up after yourselves...including the bathroom if you made the mess...only you will know...

Don't make the cook clean up their dirty pots and pans after prepping and cooking...

Lazy slugs who think others will do your dirty work suck

Bring something to the table and help make this trip an epic one. Bob and Rob are incredibly generous. Pay it forward. I remember one trip someone brought some...

[Mahigeer]

All good points and advise.

I was kidding of course Bob about them catching all of the fish.

I am sure you figured that.

The Friday night cannot get here any sooner.

[makobob]

Hashem, I know how you feel, tomorrow is Friday and Rob and I will be getting there before dark, and just in time for dinner. That will give us Saturday to work on the place and get a little fishing in before heading back Sunday morning. So tonight is my Friday night and I might not sleep as I get SO excited, even if I go there every week. This place is MY Disneyland, and just for you I asked the big guy to stock fresh fish this week!!!
