Baja California has elements of both the sublime and the grotesque. Raw blue skies, dainty mollusks, the solemn whistle of the wind over the sand--these are balanced by sea monsters with exotic defense mechanisms, by shearing wind storms, by the middens left over from human endeavor. Robin Carey set out in a kayak to explore Baja's east coast. His descriptions of discovery are poetic and revelatory, as he travels first with his twentyoneyearold son, then with his wife, and finally solo. Scenes and events, encounters with Baja villagers, fishermen, and gringo tourists all elicit diverse memories, from those of timefogged college antics to the forces at work in a Shakespearean drama. Selfdiscovery is the product of selftesting and of success in outwitting danger or unexpected events: spearing a fish, rolling a kayak, assembling a coherent phrase of words foreign to the tongue. Carey paddled between solitude and society, thinking of others who had visited these remote shores. He relates the legends that the Spaniards learned during their stay, as well as the myths they left behind. There have been other visitors--hunters of pearls, otter pelts, and vitamin-rich shark livers, and now there are yanquis who come to Baja seeking an escape from one reality to another, one not quite so "real" to them. With grace and insight, Carey makes the kayak his cathedraa seat of knowledge that is available to those with unveiled respect for nature and its phenomena.

Bend to Baja documents a surf-inspired road trip along the West Coast of North America. In February 2005, a group of world-renowned surfers left Ventura, California, for Bend, Oregon. From Oregon, the crew worked its way south to the tip of Baja, looking for waves and traveling in a pickup truck converted to run on alternative fuel sources: veggie oil and biodiesel. Jeff Johnson, along with Chris, Keith, and Dan Malloy, experienced a road trip centered on surfing, climbing, and camping. Along the way, they met an array of characters, found rich, road-weathered experiences, and endured setbacks, all against the backdrop of a captivating ocean. Bend to Baja chronicles their journey and a nontraditional lifestyle centered on the search for waves.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off your bowlines, sail away from your safe harbor and catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover. Mark TwainI wanted to see the heart and soul of the Baja in a road trip adventure. I explored the whole peninsula during ten years on six different road trips and, in this book, provide the reader with some history, humor, good stories, and a little philosophizing about the trip.Baja California is truly a wonder filled land that leaves a strong impression in the mind that can't be duplicated anywhere else. While it is a land of raw beauty, it's the people of the land that is its true treasure. As you will see in this book, my impressions of Baja California are good ones.Baja California is a land rich with cultural treasures, natural landscapes, and exhilarating adventures. With its dramatic terrain ranging from picturesque turquoise waters and white-sand beaches to rugged desert mountain ranges, it's a region that leaves a long-lasting impression on those who journey through it. Baja shares the same warm and colorful culture of the rest of Mexico, but due to its isolated peninsular geography, it has a spirit and manner unique to itself.One of the most popular ways to explore the Baja peninsula is a road trip down Mexico 1. Driving the full length of Mexico 1 from Tijuana to Los Cabos is a rite of passage memorable for its diverse landscapes, scenic small towns, historical and archaeological sites, and friendly people.When you hear about spicy foods, salsa and Frida Kahlo, there is only one thing that should pop up in your mind: the Baja! It is a colorful and beautiful country that can satiate your senses, enhance your intellect and simply leave you with a nourished soul.I try to transport my readers into another world they may or may not ever occupy themselves; take them on a road trip they may only dream about. I tried to keep my book positive, adventuresome, humorous, and fun to read.I have been an explorer and a wanderer all of my life. I have always wanted to live every day to its fullest. The harsh reality of life is that we do not make it out alive. I made many new friends on this trip thru the Baja Peninsula who I still keep in touch with to this day. It is so easy to socialize when your days revolve around beaches and sunsets.Travels, even if along the same path, are all different and they all have their own personalities. What you have to accept in order to enjoy traveling to the max is that you do not take a trip-a trip takes you. I have always been very good at understanding and accepting this. It's also important to consider the lifespan of your journey. This seems to be variable and unpredictable. Who has not known a journey to be over and dead before the traveler returns? The reverse is also true; many a trip continues long after the journey has ended. My ten year Baja experience is always with me-you will know why by the final page of this book.These were some of the best road trips of the many I have taken in my life. I was a different and a much better person at the conclusion of my Baja road trips, and I learned a lot about the Baja, the Baja people and myself. I hope you enjoy reading about my Baja adventures as much as I enjoyed living them.
