Today, we embarked on a scenic journey from San Quintin, Mexico to Guerrero Negro, Mexico, traversing 250 miles of Northern Baja's picturesque landscape. We traversed the protected Valley of the Cirios, marveling at the unique boojum trees and their distinctive 'fringes,' which are exclusive to the Sonoran Desert. The landscape shifted to an arresting combination of boulders and cacti, culminating in breathtaking vistas. We even encountered the Baja 1000 preparations underway, complete with support cars and competitors racing on adjacent dirt paths. After a fulfilling day of riding, we arrived at our destination, the town of Guerrero Negro, which interestingly translates to 'Black Warrior.' Despite its reputation for whale watching, the town's primary industry is salt production, with the local company producing an impressive 7-9 million metric tons per year through ocean water evaporation.
