why look, some actual content!
These are some photos taken by Lou Corsaro and me on a trip to Baja California, on August 11th of this year. We took federal highway 1 south from Tijuana to Ensenada, and a bit past that to the turnoff to La Bufadora, and then back to Ensenada and up highway 3 to Tecate and back to the United States.
Obligatory teaser picture:
La Bufadora, just south of Ensenada. Waves crash against a rock formation that reflects them straight upwards.
Obligatory teaser picture, highway sign division:
Two old signs to be found here: the green guide sign with the outline shield dates back to the 1960s. The diamond “ruta camiones” (truck route) is similarly old, and is patterned on a 1910s Auto Club of Southern California diamond-shaped sign that very likely hung there for 50 years before getting replaced by a copy that was almost identical, but reflective.
