Since my summer wheelin extravaganza has been cancelled, I have some time off in september. I have about 7-10 days I can take and was thinking of doing something I've never done before and wouldn't have a chance to do again. My initial thought was to do a road trip into Baja Mexico---see how far down the baja we can get until I have to turn around. I figure a day to socal, a day return. We could get 3-4 days into mexico before having to turn back. Would be quite the adventure I think.
I was also thinking of possibly driving to Seatle/portland and either driving north up the PCH or south for a week and then heading back. Just camping along the way and doing whatever.
What do you think? Anybody know of people that have done the baja trip--how safe/unsafe is that. I've never really feared for my safety anytime I've been in mexico, but i'm concerned about camping out in the middle of nowhere and also communication issues. I don't speak much spanish--how well do the locals down that way speak english?
any other ideas for a cool road trip?

) & they'll be nice to you. The check points are kinda random, I think we passed thru 3 last time we went to San Felipe. It will still be a bit warm in Sept, but it'll be cooling down. It would be a blast to drive to Cabo, but that's a LONG trek.
