I was there spring break 1979 and camped on Catch 22 beach. There were no resorts at that time but rumored to be in the plans. i hope to get back there soon. Thanks for the tour!!!!
Wish I came across your clip before I went for the first time! Great explanation of the drive in and what to do. Thank you. Will watch this next time I go and take notes lol
Rick after the shell gas station in ajo with the nice outside bathroom Go visit the mine take the first right hand turn and go up the hill The mine is amazing it closed because it hit the top of aquifer The aquaifer beneath them is larger than Lake Ontario during the mining process which they probably used a bazillion gallons of water it only equated to about on inch in the level It’s very fascinating the history of Ajo n why the owner went there
I went fishing from there. Rented a boat with a first cabin captain who spoke good American and knew were the fish were. ...There are good, Excellent Seafood restaurants along the waterfront. . I lived in Westport Washington years later met some Tuna fisherman from Porto Pinasco . The fallow tuna migration .
Yes it was copper. Phelps Doge corporation, the ones who made all the elementary school film strips all us AZ kids watched lol. Once we came through there and the washer gauntlet descended on us. One of our group opened the door “rookie” and in the chaos a young washer got his fingers slammed in our door. Lucky he was young and his fingers were small. All he suffered was a lesson 😅
I went to my Progressive app and they directed me to third party insurance companies. It was $61 for the week for both the truck and rv. They did not ask for proof of insurance but sometimes they do.
@@mattb383 The only thing I ever had done to my car in over 30 plus years was my license plate getting stolen. Where ever you stay throw the security guy a few bucks.
I went on a Saturday around noon and there was not a line. Came back around the same time on Friday and also no line. It will be a different story during spring break.
I don't recall them ever asking for my passport going in, interesting. A million years ago you had to stop and go into one of those buildings to the right to fill out visa paperwork for everyone. Anyways, that dude in the red sweater has some serious moves! That's what happens when that tequila kicks in! Cool video!
It is not a depressing dump! There are five star resorts on the beach and it is beautiful! We have the choice to drive to California or go there and we go to Rocky Point. The water is like warm bath water! we could not stand how cold water was, in California!
Thank you for sharing.
buenos Dias! Great travelogue. Super helpful! Grais senor
Thanks for watching

My kids didn't want to leave.
We will head there again soon.

Glad you enjoyed it

been a few years for me...thx for reminding me I need to go again!
I have only been to Ensenada once on a cruise.
I did the same cruise
Great. Vid. Rick! Where do you camp there? I’m thinking about going down there in a couple weeks.
I stayed at the Reef RV park. $45 a night beachfront.

The window washers are hard-core🤣
they missed a spot too.

Thanks for sharing Rick. Could you go into the car/rv insurance process for going into Mexico?
I went to my Progressive app and they directed me to third party insurance companies. It was $61 for the week for both the truck and rv. They did not ask for proof of insurance but sometimes they do.
@@Rickhelps Thanks! Everyone told me to rent a car and never take your own vehicle so that was why I was asking.
@@mattb383 The only thing I ever had done to my car in over 30 plus years was my license plate getting stolen. Where ever you stay throw the security guy a few bucks.
@@mattb383 No need to do that. Most rental companies will not let you leave the country.
Rick....That band at Wrecked sounded good. Did you happen to catch who they were?
The street vehicle window washers are a PIA! 🙄
They are the house band. They were great
How long does it take at the border to cross?
Also why does no one have a tan?
I went on a Saturday around noon and there was not a line. Came back around the same time on Friday and also no line. It will be a different story during spring break.
@@Rickhelps cool, looks awesome, never been there...i'm in the northeast
Where do you camp ?
I camped at the Reef RV park.

At least he didn’t fall down!!
Hassle free zones just means that there’s no TIP included that you don’t need a temporary import permit
Thanks! Did not know that. Just found it curious
That spot they missed on your windshield is really bugging me
I had to stare at it for 10 min before it dried up!
What a depressing dump, but thanks for the warning. I'll just drive to San Diego instead.
I could not find an RV spot in San Diego for under $309 per night
