These are the people I show as being in on this trip. Help an old man out, If I missed you please let me know you soonest, if you cannot go please let me know so others might take your spot.

As to Hashem's questions. Hashem and Gr8ful will meet me at my house no later than 3:30 am on the morning of 17 October, The rest will meet us at Johnnys Shell station in El Cajon no later than 5am. 693 Hillside terrace #5a, Vista 92084, is my address. Johnnys shell is at 67 and N. Magnolia ave 515 N. Magnolia in El Cajon just off of the 8. There is off street parking for Hashem ang Gr8ful at my place.
We will not be stoping for pesos. Your USD will spend in Baja but the rate might sufferso if you want pesos you need to get them before the trip.
Once we get to my place the nearest place to buy anything is in Gonzaga about 10 miles by road, so you need to bring everything you need. We usually make 2-3 ice runs during the trip. They do have water, soda, beer but at a preimum.
If you want to vacuum bag that is up to you. Usually the first half of the trip we only keep fish for meals. The last half we keep fish to come home. Bring lots of bags as others will want to use your bagger too.
Buying groceries on the way is a no go. You will be taking fishing time from everyone. Get everything you need before leaving San Diego.
WE are 95 miles from electrical power. My generator is large enough for our needs. Bring a POWER STRIP and your chargers. Power is usually run late afternoon until bed time.
Bathrooms???? this is Baja so the restroom in quaint, flush toilet, and shower, not hot and cold. Thereare also the same at thr resturant and he rents palaps for $30 a night with room for 3-4 people which includes showers and toilet. If we eat at the restraunt and bring the meat they will charge $5.00 per person for cooking plus rice, beans whatever they have, salsa tortillas. You pay for your own drinks.
As to fish. We do not kill Roster fish, PLEASE. Totuava will land you in a mexican jail as will turtles. Best eating fish are YT, cabrilla, bass ,WSB, snapper, dorado and triggers for cevechi. Bait we usually do not bring, it is up to you but really not needed. Making bait in not usually productive, but.............................Hope this helps, as to bedding I have extra cots but they are old. I use a cot and sleeping bay, sleeping on the ground is not good. Snakes, scorpions, bugs. Usually space inside for cot and bag. Some use the camprite tent cot. Some use a tent. Your choice, just remember three of us will be traveling in one truck, so if you dont need it leave it home. BRING enough fishing tackle, there are no tackle stores. Crockodiles, Iron, cast masters, repalas and lead heads and plastics. Make sure your rods, reels, drags are ready. Hope this answers your questions. Tight lines.
