This was the highlight of the trip for Brian and I. We went to the local Harley store and rented a motorcycle for the day, got a map, and set out. We left at 9:30 and got back at 5:30, it was a 220 mile loop we made and it was awesome! There is something about seeing what Mexico actually looks like besides the tourist town, and we were still in the Baja, I can't imagine what 'real' Mexico is like. People asked...well what did you see...it's a hard question to answer...we saw so much, what was most interesting was seeing where people live and how they live out in the boon-docks...the fences they have created for their cows, etc. It was an awesome ride!
The guy are the harley store warned us to watch out for cows, horses, goats, etc...he wasn't kidding...we saw so many random animals roaming the land.
This is proof they get hit often...we came across many carcasses with swarms of vultures...
I love the cactus!
So going along the highways about every 10 miles there would be a cross or little sanctuary...Brian and I decided that if those signified how many people died out on the road we were in trouble...
This was a common scene...we would be going along for 50 miles and nothing around us and then all the sudden there would be a little market on the side of the road.
We stopped in the little town of Los Barriles for lunch at a hole in the wall taco shop and it was awesome and soooooo cheap!
Instead of the beaches being cluttered with resorts, they were lined with RV's... and people rode their ATV's everywhere! This was a serious retirement community because we saw more WA, CO, BC, CALI plates on cars.
Just thought this was a good picture of what the scenery was like.
So this was another highlight of the ride...we saw a road leading to the beach so we drove down it, swam in the ocean, and got back on the bike! It was spectacular.
This beach was huge and had this beautiful resort in the background...
The route we took was partly under construction...mexican construction...so we basically took the motorcycle on a dirt road (and a bumpy) for 30 miles or so...it was crazy...they don't make seperate lanes its just a free for all....pass when you want, who you want, on either side...parts of it were sketchy, but we made it!
Harley Davidson LOS CABOS!
