One night in San Diego, five in the Valle, and a desert night on the way home. The colored strip shows where you sleep each night, Sat to Fri.
The places in Baja that looked worth a meal, plus a few in San Diego and Palm Springs on the way. Opening days change by season, so check before you go. The grid shows which days each Baja place is open during the trip. Outlined cells are when the itinerary eats there.
Odd, beautiful and interesting stops along the route, in the order you'd drive past them. Most of the strange stuff is on the desert road home.
