Anyone interested in a Baja run? Deserts, Sierras, Beaches, Sea Food, Camp fires and shinanigans?

More map here

camping, 4x4ing, cooking, drinking.... soaking in hot springs....

check....check .....check.....

1 Day going to  Guadalupe Canyon (overnight)
1 Day  going south to San Felipe (overnight)
1 Day going north to Ensenada (overnight)
1 Day comin home

This itinerary can be modified to anything a group wants to do down there.


may be even bring a Taco :)  (or a friend with a Taco ...) :) :)

Can you speak Spanish well enough to keep us out of trouble and offer the "IF" necessary bribe?
My Spanish is very rudimentary.
But everybody loves Taco's right?

I know there are plenty of offroads in this area so we would not have to stay on highway 3 or 5 if we did not want to.

My cousin currently runs chase/support for chrishaines tours. We have also spent a lot of time between MiksSkyRanch and SantaVeronica. My cousin knows Baja like a true racer does...with his eyes closed. I also speak fluent Spanish and have a ton of family in Tijuana.

What is your true opinion of the known safety issues Toro?

We are more than likely out for a Thanksgiving run...or another major time commitment this year with the CHUSA/DV trip plus a few others sprinkled amongst the remainder of 2015/16. 

I'd like to follow this thread though...and see how things shape up.

We do enjoy tacos... ;D

Don't forget that you need passports to get out of Mex and into the USA now.....it wasn't that way for a loooong time

I'm interested but the timing is going to be critical for me as well....I miss baja

My point is...don't plan it around our schedule.  We have a lot going on especially with another unplanned move.

Let's see what Toro comes up with and go from there...as he develops a plan of attack.

Very true...the simple baja trip of years past requires more planning now.

My timing is leaning towards October of 2016.

Safety issues are just that...issues.
   I can say most of the drama happens in the border cities when you look for it. As far as I'm concerned, trouble rarely strikes at random.
    Once you get down into Baja, tourists are the norm.

That video made me wanna DISCO DISCO!!!!  :)  Very beautiful area...I hope who ever goes is safe and makes it back to the USA in one piece.  I agree with Danny about the biggest trouble being in the border cities, and once you get a little south, tourism in the norm...BUT...IF trouble does find you, there is no predicting what could happen.  Just my two cents!
