Subject:Re: Seeking Winter Westy Destinations: Southwest and/or Baja

I have camped down there in my Vanagons more than 100 times and I can
suggest a route or two for a Baja leg of your trip. With the time you
have available you would need to stay in the Northern half. I suggest 3
nights at least, one on a Pacific beach, one in the desert, and one on
the Sea of Cortez. The time of year makes some difference as it can be
too hot in some places until Oct. In the dead of winter some places can
be cold, even snow in the northern mountains, but not along the coasts.

PM if you would like more info.
