11/27 I’m in the Mexican groove now. 
Woke up, found a nice restaurant and then pedaled on down the road. Traffic south of San Quintin was a lot less than any other part of Baja so far. Made for some very relaxing riding. Ran into another military checkpoint but they just waved me through.
There are some pretty good stretches between towns now. I’ve been doing pretty good on water but for the next couple hundred miles I’m going to carry extra just in case. I’ve been noticing that almost every town as different name than what’s on my GPS or the map I purchased. Not a big deal I guess; just kind of weird.
The landscape changed quite a bit once I climbed inland toward the end of the day. The land is devoid of everything but rocks and waist high shrubs. Starting to see a few more cacti. I’m really looking forward to getting into the desert. I love open land with no structures for as far as the eye can see. Hopefully I’ll get a lot of that. I’m going to be riding past my first active volcano tomorrow. How cool is that?
I’m going to stay in town tomorrow and get caught up on my web site and doing some cleaning (bike/clothes). They don’t have wifi in the motel but the restaurant next door does. They keep internet access locked down big time here. I have yet to run into a place that had it open. Finally got to take a hot shower too.
