Item two for those who have not been there before.

Travel schedual:
We meet at 5:00 AM at Johnny's Shell station in located at 515 N. Magnolia Ave. Just off of the freeway (8) at the exit #67, N. Magnolia Ave, El Cajon.

From there we stay on the freeway (8) to the exit #98, follow about 30 miles to the highway (111) and take right to border crossing at Calexico.
Shell Station to border is about 125 miles.

From there we follow the highway Mex (5) thru Mexicali, follow signs to San Filipe, Puertocitos, Rio Hardy staying on the highway Mex (5) all the way to San Filipe. Another 125 miles.

Going through San Filipe take right at sign to Puertocitos/airport, go about 9 km to sign saying Puertocitos and take a left, DO NOT go to the airport.

From here is another 95 miles to camp.

VADO means dip in road and years ago they could and would take your rear axle out, SLOW DOWN for them. At km 60-65 be very careful. When you reach km 134 you went 100 yards too far. Sign to camp will say Campo Turistico and you take a left. Up until now (except leaving San Filipe) roads are all good at (60) mph unless posted lower and passable by any car. At turn off for camp it is unpaved dirt road, [15-25] mph but bumpy. Camp is about 1/2 mile from main road.

It is suggested lowering your air pressure at turnoff on your first trip, to about (20) psi. There are/is compressor in camp. Follow until you crest hill and go down to beach, restaurant is on your left, in front of restaurant take a left and follow until you have to take a right at trees, then go 100 feet and take a left, 100 feet and Makoland is on the left 50 yards of soft sand, stay on tire tracks at (20) mph to top, park left by garage.

The sand on the beach can be very soft at times.

Let the good time begin.

I will arrive at Johnny's Shell Station around 4 am, WE need to leave at 5am to reach camp around noon, which allows set up and FISHING that afternoon for those who camp lite. So I need to know WHO will be meeting us in El Cajon and who will just meet us in camp. Please let me know here if you are going to caravan down with us. Thanks and tight lines.
Just returned, bass, triggers, GOLDEN SPOTTED BASS, Yellow tail were caught, corvina, snapper and cabrilla were round too. Lot's of turtles and jellyfish. Time to cross back with SENTRI PASS was 3.5 MINUTES.

I would like to keep it all Persian, so dinner is in camp.

I will have a small BBQ unit too.

I think Robert brings a unit too.
