| 4x4abc Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: La Paz, Baja California, Mexico Vehicle(s): 02 G500  | Baja California - paradise for any explorer recovering from our last Baja (Föteli) Expedition. Stunning scenery, bad weather, clients with a very strange language (Swiss) - and still just another exceptional expedition. This is the stuff very very few other people get to see (not found on Expedition Portal): http://carlosnpainter.smugmug.com/Travel/Baja-California-21912/2180... (sorry, no captions yet) And to answer a question from the G forum: "When you are going on an expedition with friends from out of town, do you have the trails "pre planned", or do you make the trip up as you go along based on driver skill, etc? I know you stay in a certain area, so it is not like you are going in blind." No pre planning. Anything between the US border and the southern tip is open for the groups. The group will have to decide where to go - I only make recommendations and help them to get to the destinations. Mostly on routes that are rarely ever traveled. more here: http://www.baja101.com/Baja-California-Nature-Trips/index.html (sand.jpg) Attachments ----------------  sand.jpg (341KB - 0 downloads) | |

| 4x4abc Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: La Paz, Baja California, Mexico Vehicle(s): 02 G500 | Re: Baja California - paradise for any explorer the only hassle on the beach whilst sleeping (in 25 years) were other guys snoring a bit loud - although I hear that I sound like an angry bear security? in all those years while camping I have never even closed the doors of my car and the key stays in never seen a bandido (can'y say that from the time I lived in Los Angles) when you meet locals, they rather give you something than take from you lost a Maglite at one of the camps - found it 15 years later (slightly bleached on the sun exposed side), only needed new batteries no scorpion attacks no rattlesnake visits no puma bites lotsa contact with cactus (painful!) occasional sting ray hits (super extraordinarily painful!!!) I feel so safe, that I sleep without a tent right on the ground. Most of my clients follow my example and have trouble later to adjust to the confinement of a hotel room Edited by 4x4abc 3/15/2012 10:25 PM (cholla.jpg) (bad sting.jpg) (sleep-on-the-ground.jpg) Attachments ---------------- cholla.jpg (177KB - 0 downloads) bad sting.jpg (228KB - 0 downloads) sleep-on-the-ground.jpg (173KB - 0 downloads) | |
