Baja Sea Kayaking and Whale Watching Trips

October 12, 2008.

The daytime temps have fallen into the 60s/70s (from the mid-90s) recently here in Northern California. (Downright chilly in these parts.) Tioga Pass, the road through Yosemite National Park’s high country, is temporarily closed due to the snow. The commercial California whitewater rafting season is over. Makes sense to head south, doesn’t it?
