Like a lot of towns in Baja, Loreto feels like it’s not really up to its potential. Lots of empty or partially built (or ruined) structures on the waterfront, streets being ripped up – but of course, when they are fixed and all look like cobblestone, but smoother, it will be nice. The main historic district was neat, and we enjoyed eating at a sidewalk café off the main plaza (Café Ole). Our RV park was neat, too. But too many Americans, and something else… not sure. It wasn't too many Americans, because that's who mostly uses RV parks in Baja, but too many Americans living in Loreto, or too many American tourists, and English was spoken everywhere, unlike the parts of Baja we had just been through. There was even a cruise ship in the harbor on one day! Loreto is more accessible - by air and ship, than the areas to the north. Maybe it was just had a little less of the warmth and friendliness we had come to expect in rural Baja. I suppose that is a fact of life in most cities everywhere, even smaller ones like Loreto.
At any rate, we decided to head back north – the feeling we had was that south was going to be more and more tourist-oriented as we got closer to the cape region, and we weren’t really interested in big cities like La Paz, and definitely not interested in Cabo San Lucas. There weren’t too many places in between we felt a burning need to see this time around, and Semana Santa was starting, so we decided to begin our journey back to the US and points north.

- an exhaust system that not only increases power, but gives our model of RV 7% better gas mileage!
which has digital gauges letting you know fuel economy - allows you to figure out optimum driving speed/rpm for best mpg
lets us know what our tire pressures are at all times (keeping tires properly inflated can make a big difference in fuel economy)
(for filling tires using our batteries and keeping them at optimum pressure)
