Too far north. Too far east.
Mike and I are in Bahia de Los Angeles for the night. As expected hurricane Odile had her way with the peninsula. The back roads are a mess. The bugs are even worse. Still it has been an adventure. Sorry about no pics. WiFi is very slow and my attempts have timed out. I will try again when we get a better connection in San Felipe.
 
I tried. Too slow. Here is one.

One of the washed out roads.

What a mess! Those "roads" will give your Toyota a workout. The ocean picture was beautiful.
 
OK, a few scattered pics, then I need to cook dinner.

#1, the grouper I caught. About 2# and damn tasty.
#2, Pappy where he belongs, in the Las Floras jail.
#3, a little flexin'.
#4, first beach camp.
#5, and last, there is no such thing as a "wrong way" in Baja.

I like the photosphere until I spotted the severed feet on the ground.
 
Great pictures Jon.
 
Very nice. I love the ruggedness of Baja
 
where are the pics of crime, mutilation, drug runners and all that? :-)
 
The only crime were the biting bugs.

The only mutilation/carnage was a flat tire, and I knocked off the gas cap to the aux tank stuffing a tire. I think Mike came out unscathed, though he did whine about a few more scratches on Pristine. He also developed a clunk of some sort in the front end.

Drug runners. The morning I went out to Laguna Agua Amarga near LA Bay for morning pics I became concerned with three trucks coming out of the back country on the road I was parked on. I don't think they were campers, and the road leads to one or two narco drop off beaches. I got the heck out of there.
 
It was another great Baja trip; my third with Pappy. Round trip about 2,700 miles. The trucks did their job and remote multiday primitive camping will stretch the capabilities of your expedition setup. Jon brought 2 solar panel rigs which came in extremely handy. Fuel range was a problem for my rig this trip due to a short fill in primary tank while we were loading jerry cans on the roof. MPG of the FZJ80 moves a large (25++ gal) sub tank higher up my wish list; right behind a 100w solar panel.

Photos are still on my camera but Jon's pics capture the trip well.
