    Been living in BCS for 3 1/2 years now. Built a house between Todos Santos and Cabo. All this after visiting one time. So much to learn but the number one thing is to remember, "it's Mexico, don't freak out". We love it.

    I drove my 33 foot class a motorhome down Baja and back. You are absolutely right about everything you said about the driving. It’s definitely white knuckle if you have a bigger rig. I would not take my motorhome down the Baja again.

    That river camping spot is stunning, but that road/drive = “wild and wooly!!!” I’m pretty sure if I drove that road myself, I wouldn’t have any fingernails left. Sounds like a caravan is the best way to drive there. Hope you’re doing well; safe travels & enjoy.

    That is the worst part of traveling in Mexico, we were low on gas and finally found a town in the baja with gas, they are few & far between Rocky Pte. & Mexicali!
    The roads look beautiful, but you come around a corner and a big chunk is gone! We experienced hitting a pothole and we we were miles from the border. It was at least 100 that day, plus the checkpoints were nerve racking.
    We just said our prayers and made it home safe. I enjoy your videos! ❤

    I noticed your group uses some sort of Walkie-Talkie to communicate with each other on your Baja trip. I am curious what brand of Walkie-Talkie you used and how well they worked for your group. We are planning a trip to Mexico ourselves and would like a good way to communicate with each other as well.

I like that you were able stay close together at the campsite. It’s beautiful there! Hope you had fun there! Glad the filtered water tasted good! Have a great night and see you soon! Safe travels!

    We drove in Baja last year about this time and one just needs to slow way down when those semis come along. It was a camper truck that was bouncing side ways on the narrow roads and his side outside ladder that ripped off our driver side mirror and shattered the glass down the entire length of our Class C leaving about 200 tiny scratches all down the side. It could have been worse....no place forever it seemed to pull over and check it out. It took forever to have our insurance agree to pay the full price of repair work. Just have to be patient and persevere .

    Even though I grew up near Lubbock TX, and still live there, my brother just moved to TN, bought some land 12 miles north of Dunlap from a cousin and built a barndominum. I have been out there two times in the past year, but haven't towed the 31' Airstream there....we flew.

      Mexico is badass. The people are cool as hell too. The cartel stuff usually doesn’t affect tourism especially if your a respectful visitor. The cartels depend on tourism for a giant chunk of their revenue and if there is a huge stink about Americans dying and being kidnapped, it takes money out of their pockets. Americans just visiting on vacation for the vast majority of the time, need not worry.
