Sweet! Are they going to be open by then? Mexico is getting slammed right now and some communities aren't to welcoming to gringos at this point, but I guess if you are staying on your friend's land, it might not be an issue.
I was down in Loreto and many other parts of Baja in March just as everything was closing, but well before the shit hit the fan. See my review in the "travel" folder for some tips on campgrounds in the area. If you want to do a side trip or two, I would seriously consider camping up on the Bahia Concepcion north of Loreto or on Rattlesnake Beach south of town.

Big time lockdown. In some
Big time lockdown. In some towns and villages, the locals have put up barricades on the roads in to keep people out. Guess you will see when you get there. And be prepared to be flexible on your flight out. My flight on Alaskan from Loreto to LAX got bumped around a couple times before I was finally able to fly out. But shit, nothing like tooling around on the Sea of Cortez in a boat catching snapper and cochinos.

Looks beautiful. I would really like to go somewhere to weather the lockdown but my wife works everyday in the hospital so she can't. I suggested at one point going to a cool air bnb in Tokyo, because, why not?
Baja looks like a pretty fucking sweet place to do it, though. Nice work, plf.

A lot of homes in Mexico have big tanks on top and the water truck comes by periodically to fill it up. Others just use five gallon jugs that they take down to the neighborhood water store to get refilled.

If I didn't have children, I would relocate to Mexico for at least the next 12 months. No doubt about it.

totally. It's the size of the garden (substantial) and the obvious amount of surface evap taking place, coupled with a few other farm related observations from that photo that makes me think about these things...

where they live, the water is
where they live, the water is trucked in. then they turn it on for a couple hrs 1-2x's a week and you fill up your tanks/water the garden.

While camping at Rattlesnake
While camping at Rattlesnake Beach, we learned of a well with good water near an abandoned house right off Mex 1 28 km south of Loreto at the turn off to Puerto Escondido. They had rigged up an overhead spigot that you could drive a water truck under and fill it up.
Read today that the travel ban has been extended to late August. Hopefully, it won't mess with your trip and looking forward to hearing the travel reports.
