Our mountains in Baja Sur rise up to just shy of 7000' therefore we get a lot of afternoon thunder/rain storms in the mountains to contribute to the lush factor as well we get to deal with our hurricane season which is this time of year. Most of the hurricanes miss the direct hits to landfall but the remnants from these storms pass through bringing rains from 1 - 3 inches. To see the transformation of the landscape from everything looking like it is dead mean vegetation to wham bam everything is alive and completely green in a matter of days is pretty cool and always a welcome transformation to mucho verde. The translation for riding is a major change for the trails, traction, and yes a challenge for the changes in the areas with heavy rains and runoff to make plenty of rain ruts and dangerous spots to keep your attention, but overall great riding!. Along with the Sept rains we also experience the absence of tourists in our area so our village becomes a bit of a ghost town with the only people coming to visit are the hungry fishermen that thrive on the some of the best fishing in the northern hemisphere. I am here to challenge you to the thought of coming down for the great riding this time of year and experience our taste of Thailand, of course if the fishing draws you down and you are also a dirt bike enthusiast then this is a perfect time to do both, ride Baja with moisture in the dirt and then head out to catch Marlin, Tuna, Dorado, Wahoo for a trip of a lifetime.
So with the fishing being hot this time of year especially Tuna I will have to share with you the fact we love Sushi and or anything to do with Tuna. My love of the raw pescado and passion to be in the kitchen lead me down the path of figuring out how to make my own Sushi thus friends calling me Kirkisan when I fire up the rice cooker. Its pretty hard to screw up fresh Atun but when it comes to sushi time it gets a little trickier, having the proper supplies are bit of a challenge here so often our guests will be requested to bring some supplies with them, but they always feel rewarded for doing so after making some of my favorite rolls, like the Hippie Roll with Pesto, or utilizing our fresh peppers to make a caliente Jalapeno roll. Of course this is just a small sample of Sushi things, we also love to use the fresh tuna for Poke, and Jae's favorite curry seared style to eat by itself or on a salad that would pass with hardcore critics!
Bon Appetite
