I've been planning to join the
BARF Baja 2017 crew
for quite a while now ... attending the
monthly planning meetings, trying to arrange
a truck-ride down there and trying to get my poor KLR
prepared for doing a five-day clockwise-loop through
central Baja ...

I'm at the part of the adventure-riding-process I find
the most anxious and fear-inspiring, so I thought I'd
start my ride report now, mostly to give myself the pep-talk
I tend to need in order to slog through those parts of
ride-prep I dread ... mainly bike-prep and packing ... : |
We're planning on parking the trucks at Bahía de los Ángeles ...
anyway, we'll see ... :laughing
... been to Baja in the past, but it has been three years
since I was last there--which I think officially makes me
a Baja n00b again ... Baja is like Alaska, a motorcycle-guy
pilgrimage everyone should do, and it occurred to me
I needed the deadline and the relative-n00b friendliness that
the BARF Baja crew seemed cheerfully willing to provide ... :ride
... suppose it's just as likely that I'll manage to crash-and-burn
as it is that I'll arrive in BoLA, in which case this will document
pitfalls to avoid ... arty
