Feb 9
We considered making it to San Quintin or Ensenada tonight but when we started down the mountain the sky turned so black we had to turn our headlights on. I thought for sure it was going to pour rain any minute. Luckily they had a room at the Baja Cactus in El-Rosario where we stayed on the way down. The trip from Guerreo Negro to El Rosario is 202 miles. There are no gas stations between these towns and if you are lucky you will find someone along the way selling gas out of a 55 gallon drum. He was not around today, boy am I glad I carried 5 gallons of gas in the trailer or we would not have made it. A huge thanks to Van for suggesting I bring a spare kick stand spring along. I broke mine off in the middle of no-where going over a Topa (speed bump) and was sure glad to have a spare.
If it doesn’t rain, we will cross the border at Otay Messa, and stay in San Diego tomorrow night. If it is raining we will stay in Ensenada for the night. It wouldn’t be fun sitting in the long line waiting to cross the border for several hours in the rain. The trip today was long and turned cold when we got to the coast at Guerreo Negro and stayed that way until we stopped for the night. My heated vest, grips, and seat felt very nice for most of the trip. Oh well guess I shouldn’t complain as I don’t think anyone is even thinking of riding a motorcycle in the mid-west or East Coast these last couple weeks. For some strange reason I am unable to get to the CVOHARLEY board anywhere south of Ensenada
