End of Baja journey...3/19/10

Well, here is the end of the big Baja adventure. Our valiant wagonmasters met us at Mulege' on 3/16/10 for the 4 day trip north. Spring had come to Baja Norte and wild flowers were beautiful along the road. This was just the final leg of an awesome trip for us. Danny and Linda Peterson stayed in Los Barriles, dropping off the main tour in Jan., as we did. We had a great time exploring the east cape with them, and made lists of the 'toys' we want to bring back in Dec. Jack and Myrna Freeborn (I hope I've spelled that correctly) are from Canada, and coming back again too. Marcia Stiers has been coming down to Loreto for several years. I won't go into our return through the Otay border crossing, ugly memories there, but you can tell from the photos, that it is a madness, and believe me, it just got worse... at least for us. But after 2 hous, much frustration, we did cross over into the USof A. We stayed at the Chula Vista KOA for a couple of days and then moved on to the Thousand Trails park in Jamul, CA, not far from our original crossing at Tecate.

We are now in Yuma, have arranged to have flooring and couch replaced with laminate and two nice recliner chairs. Our beautiful but ungainly dining table is going away at the same time. I am doing the Happy Dance about getting this all done at once. Everything just fell into place! We return to Yuma 4/5 to get all the work done and will pick up the coach 4/9 if all goes well.

After this adventure, I would say to everyone, never stop dreaming, never stop planning, dare to have some fun! Now, I may have a different story to tell if I actually DO get a kayak, and end up in the deep, BUT, for now, it's my mantra! Happy trails...
