This is the 1st toll station going south on Baja Hwy 1 south of Tijuana. This picture was taken on Mar. 13, 2010. Not too busy here.....but crossing into Baja from San Diego at San Yisdro took us 45 minutes. Of course it was the weekend and now they are stopping and inspecting more vehicles going south.
A shot of the Coronado Islands from Hwy 1 . It looked like there was a fire at the south end of the big island.
There are still quite a few building projects along the coast south of Tijuana. Some look abandoned but others look like they are still being worked on....it was kinda hard to tell one from the other.
Rio de Janero? No Baja.
Six years ago, 2002, a Baja California man, Antonio Pequeño Guerrero, commissioned a monumental statue as a testament to his faith in Jesus Christ.
The first piece, the head, was constructed by workers in Tijuana, then moved to Rosarito, where three other parts were built. The head, chest and arms were made of steel; the lower body of fiberglass.
Workers assembled the pieces and used a crane to hoist the figure onto a cupola carved out of a hill.
The figure of Christ is 75 1/2 feet tall and weighs 40 tons. It can be seen by those who live or visit south of Rosarito, near an old community called El Morro.
Previously, local fishermen placed flowers at a small cross at the mountain summit during a local holiday or during Easter Week. Today, the symbol of their faith reaches into the heavens for everyone to see.

I am not a fan of this one.
This is the line at the last toll station on Hwy 1 just north of Ensenada. We waited in line for 45 minutes. There was a military inspection post just before you entered the toll lanes. Slowed things down a bit.
Business is booming for our friend who owns this mini market south of Maneadero. So.....who knows maybe Baja won't be hurt BUT don't count on it. 'They' say, "...when the United States gets a stomach ache Mexico gets Montezuma's Revenge!!!"

You know, San Juanico used to be a pretty cool little town. I guess it was inevitable every fucking idiot with a surf board and little or no clue would show up and ruin the place. Where the fuck were all these people when it was 150 miles of bad road and If you wanted it you had to bring it yourself. Now Fat old Men with their Fat old ladies and snotty children crowd the beach at second Pt. on Christmas fucking day! Rich Cocksuckers show up like they own the place, throwing money around and acting like pricks, looking down on the Gringo and treating the locals like the "Help". Fuck all of them. And here's the kicker, the surf sucks most of the time! If you want a wave you gotta go up to Gregorio or south to Little Point. They don't even think about the detrimental effect they have on the locals - Glad I had it when I did, I'm glad I sold out when I did and The only thing I miss are my Mexican and very, very few Gringos I met who get it. It's all yours.
