Kilómetros: 1 Baja Mex

By Richard Estabrook

A surf-soaked road memoir down the spine of Baja California.
Before GPS, before pavement reached the cape, there was Mexico Federal Highway 1 - fifteen hundred kilometers of cracked asphalt, washboard detours, and points that nobody talked about above a whisper. Kil metros: 1 Baja Mex follows that road from the Tijuana line to the East Cape, told in the voice of a surfer who learned the peninsula one tank of gas at a time.
From the cobblestones of K-38 and the long, lonely sand of the Seven Sisters to the quiet wrap of Scorpion Bay and the glassy first-light lineups of Cabo Pulmo, this is a book about the drive as much as the surf. About fish tacos at a roadside palapa. Homemade tortillas turning on a comal. The smell of carne asada and woodsmoke after a long day in the water. The simple beauty of a desert evening when the wind drops and everything goes still.
It is also a book about the people of Baja - fishermen, abuelas, ranchers, panga drivers, mechanics - who have shared their coast with strangers for sixty years and asked little in return except respect, a fair price, and that you take your trash with you when you leave.
If you have ever driven south just to see what was there, Kil metros: 1 Baja Mex is for you.
