Roads that rattle screws loose in your bed,
Roads that rattle screws loose in your head.

We awoke the following morning to find head high waves, slightly smaller to the day before but still holding a similar shape, previous to paddling out, we had thought to stay in Abrejoles for a week or so, at least while there was swell, today the boys were leaving to head south to Scorpion Bay. Having enjoyed the surf and the crowd of our new friends, we reached a decision that we to would head south to Scorpion Bay with them. We surf for a few hours or as long as we could last in the cold water,we head in and eat some breakfast and we are back on the road before 12pm. We begin the journey from Abrejoles to Scorpion Bay, up and over the foot hills, as we crawled around the point at Abrejoles being careful not to get bogged, we began to realise that the road out wasn't the road we came in on and soon noticed we were camped at the northern end which picked up the swell, but further around on the southern end was several other point set-ups and a variety of waves, which we had not known about, I could only imagine what it'd be like when there was a solid swell. We drove a further 96km out to the paved highway before continuing on to San Ignacio. Just shortly after returning to highway 1 the road passes a group of flat- topped volcanic cones;the dark reddish-brown rocks in this region give further evidence of past volcanic activity, Finally after winding through low, cactus covered hills, the highway bring's the traveller to the junction with a paved road continuing onto Santa Rosalia or a paved road into San Ignacio. We all stop for fuel and to find an atm and of course there weren't any to be found and continue on down the road into San Ignacio. The first view of San Ignacio was one of the greatest delights we had experienced in Baja after traveling through kilometre after kilometre of un-hospitable terrain. Here in the bottom of a wide arroyo surrounded by arid dessert, is a forest of date palms, and one of the most charming towns. San Ignacio is an attractive, tranquil settlement with thatched roof dwellings and pastel- coloured business structures clustered around an imposing stone mission/street and a tree shade plaza. Our jaws drop as we drive through town.
