this tunnel you have to swim to, its right near the arch, right through this tunnel you can swim to the arch but i didnt dare.
the waves rip through it
on this beach in playa grande, its on the pacific tip, its about 1/2 mile from this arch. its not accessible just to walk to. its seperated by ocean and cliffs that jet out into the ocean so you must wait till may or take a water taxi out.
there are big red signs on this beach not to swim. people die here all the time from the under tows are the worst in the baja. the beach is so steep the waves are big and the ocean will take you under and there you are with the fish, dead.
so anyway we swam out in the dead zone to get this pic. some old people saw us come around the cliff and they almost passed out. they were yelling at me and said i was stupid.
i said ya i already know that thanks, but see it can be done. they thought it was crazy but they are old and dont know about sly and how i roll.
this is the rock on the pic below on the far left, the big seal rock, the kayakers can paddle out from the main beach, its about 1/2 mile out.
this is the last piece of rock on the baja, you cant see them but the sea lions are out on the that lower part sun bathing.
we took the buccaneer boat out to the arch
delta has direct flights to cabo from slc. thats pretty sweet. i have not been down here since dec 31st 2000, when me and bart rode down from san diego. we didnt ride the whole way but chippo didnt even make it 3 days. he went home cuz he couldnt hang with the kilojoules we were puttin out. back in 92, 93,94 i rode down here the whole way with a sag wagon. its around 1100 miles from san d to cabo. 1 road, old beat up paved road. lots of fish taco stands along the way. and lots of 100 mile sections with nothing.
its a good trip. you should try it.
but nowadays you have to skip riding through tj or you might get capped.
since i have long hair people randomly try to sell me drugs everywhere i go. i dont know if its for real or a joke. i cant believe how blatent drug dealers are. no wonder they get caught.
if you know alex rock hes in hawaii this week gettin hitched, wish him luck. seems he found a nice girl.
anyway his wifes parents hooked us up with this sweet condo on the beach of the pacific at the very tip of the baja. its way nice and they have wifi with cable.
what more can you ask for
wifi and cable, sun and blue skies with an option to head north on route 1 to la paz. i might get out and do some rides but im kind of busy workin on my tan, sleepin and gettin massages.
the whales are in view and we probably will take a tour boat out into the ocean tomorrow and spear some of them.
its been a tough day, i need to catch up on my beauty rest.
maybe i'll get some sweet pics tomorrow
it rained a bit down south, but you have to know where to go and where not to go.
if you dont want to ruin the trails or get muddy.
to the locals, i didnt ruin your trails. when i went on barrel, zen, green valley, jem, and VRRT. there was no mud. a few soft spots, a few small water holes. lots of open trail. i didnt pass one biker the whole 3 days.
thats amazing,
i dont understand it, maybe i was going so fast i just float over the top.
who knows, it will probably be sunny tomorrow and the water will dry up by tuesday.
nice timing.
i had to head out to catch a plane so i pointed the man wagon north and floored it.
im on step 2 of 3 for the plan of death avoidance.
get out of the the salt lake valley.
went to alta tuesday to practice gs turns in the bumped out trees
then rode a snow trail in pc to see if i still had cat like skills. i do.
went to st george, stayin here til sat.
catch a plane to cabo sunday
whoever went to st george last week should come back, its still sunny and warm.
if you want to see how dirty the air is in slc go change your car air filter and see what youre breathing.
nasty
i went outside in the valley for a minute without a gas mask and didnt make it back to the house before i passed out.
they had to call the medic
so before i die, i have a 3 step plan.
im goin to alta today
st george tomorrow
baja sunday
by the time im back it will be feb and i will have a sweet tan and the air will be clear.
on the news they say stay inside, but the question is why is that better
its the same air, you have an open door to the toxic sludge, so your furnace has a filter. big deal, it doesnt work right.
they say on the news dont drive or light a fire.
do you think anyone really does this
no they dont give a rats ass
thats why there is this problem to begin with.
dont blame the weather
year after year the same problem, but it gets worse. everyone waits for the wind to come and blow the problem away.
no snow till next tuesday.
im outtttta death breath
dv isnt deer valley, its darth vader
they are in wiscaaaansin.
we were up on the sears tower a few hours ago. just like ferris bueller. its on wacker street. i bet rod blagovich has on office on wacker street.
at 4am im getting up to drive to mad town, its a blizzard here and the 140 miles i hope wont take over 2 hrs. we got the prius, but the tires are bald.
nothin new there, i still can blaze it, no prob.
the happy cows are up north, they make cheese in the mid west, im going to pic up a dub of cheddar.
in case your wondering, thats a 20" wheel of cheese.
i like cheese,
do you like cheese
if you want some call me,
if you dont have my number,
too bad
its snowing a lot and the beach is windy and frozen so i wont be getting a tan here, but thats ok cuz were going to cabo in 2 weeks.
if you want to meet us down there go ahead, we have a spare bed.
everyone else i asked doesnt want to go, they all have lame excuses like
no money
i have to work
no passport
no time
busy training
allergic to sun
scared of getting killed by mexican mafia
dont be a crying wuss
them blaze the cork screwthis is moose, hes kind of fat and lazy.
he got this cable stuck on his mid section the other day. i had it rolled up and he crawled into it and then couldnt get it off so he just walked around with it on.
he was mad so he came and sat in front of me so i would help him.
