Live 240 Volts

It's about exactly a year ago since I visited the Edison museum in West Orange, New Jersey. Among many more interesting things I was facinated by those cables on the wall, acessible to any visitors of the museum. More exciting though, the label "Live 240V DC". 

Finally - A high resolution photo gallery

Finally you might go and look at more pictures of my trip. There is a new site icon on the left of my blog page: Photo-Gallery. It will take you to my picture homepage where the pictures are stored in original resolution.

As I depend on a highspeed internet connection to upload the photos there is not too much there yet, but for a start you might browse through some 400 pictures of Mexico - Baja California

More will follow. Enjoy!

Along the Coast to Los Barriles - Free Camping again

From La Paz, after having gotten rid of that cop, I followed Highway 286, this goes up and up and up, all straight and then down and down and down all straight. After having passed San Juan de los Planes it continues just some 2 kilometers or so when the paved road takes a 90° turn left towards Punta de la Ventana, a gravel road continues straight. That is what I did. At first you might think that is cool and doable with a passenger car, but soon the road is going steep into the mountains and you will need a good motorbike or a high clearance car. 

I followed the road through the mountains and heading down to the coast. It is a very rough road but beautiful. Some of the steepest most notorious for washout areas are paved with concret.

I have passed a little house up on the cliff with "propriedad privado" signs all over the place when I headed steep down to the coast. I found a dry river bed at 

N23°53.913'

W109°48.776'

That is where I turn off down the river, it leads through some close by vegitation, keep going and you will reach

N23°54.171'

W109°48.606'

A beautiful spot to free camp. Directly at the beach. All peaceful and lonely. At high tide the beach is nice and sandy and I went swimming in the evening and in the morning. At low tide it is kind of stoney.

In the morning I continued down the coast, beautiful road, soon passing Boca de Almo that is where the road gets significantly better and after El Cardonal it is paved. After la Tina you have the option to stay on pavement and drive inland to Los Barriles or continue on gravel as I did along the coast. Some very nice beaches and good snorkeling opportunities along that way. Many big Gringo Mansions as well. Even an airstrip community. Reminded me of Texas.
