    As it turns out, small camper or teardrop travel Is optimal on the peninsula because of all the narrow roads and off-road accessible campsites. Enjoy some of top must see places we found in Baja California Mexico.

    What an amazing trip! My wife used to scuba in Mulege when she was a little girl. Living in SoCal, Baja is such an easy adventure. I’m hoping I can talk my wife into getting a teardrop trailer to pull behind our two door Jeep rubicon. I love it that you two are the biggest critics of your own company. Mexico is so wonderful. You get to experience things in Mexico that you could never experience here in the US. Such as petting whales. That would never be allowed in the United States. I’m retiring in two years. Hopefully the wife and I can become customers. At the very least, I subscribed to your great channel. God bless

    We all know that Baja never belongs to US, so to take back or buy back or whatever is impossible. But wished that Baja belongs to US then it would be one of the best place to visit in USA and in North America.
    I was in Riu palace Cabos last year, it was such a great experience. Wised US took the Baja before. Nice place to visit. Thanks.

    Ratings are purely a matter of personal perspective and preference. I would have rated the first RV camp a 2 or 3 and the second camp, much more excluded and actually probably way safer due to that a BIG 5. When I traveled all the way down the east coast of baja solo in my 4wd toyota pickup with a shell some 40 years ago it was 90% deserted and absolutely beautiful. Even did over a hundred miles of dirt road right on the coast from somewhere south of La Paz to Cabo and saw no other people at all for over a week. Did see a few burned out shells of vehicles and every beach completely to myself. LOL all a matter of perspective. Back then you couldn't buy fish from the fishermen instead sharing conversation, smiles, and some beers and receiving out of kindness a nice fish or lobstereither then or the next day, at least that was my experience.

    Wondering why you would knock points off for places that are remote. This is literally the point when seeking adventure. Get out of the comfort zone. I’ll be there Friday riding off-road for 2800 miles, no roads if possible. That’s the life.

      I am glad that you find our videos informative. However, I am curious, is your statement that 'we should not drive on the beach' a universal rule or just your opinion? I find it interesting that people are so willing to dispense advice and past judgements('NOT COOL') on others activities given the relative lack of context in something like a TH-cam video. It seems like someone might want to know a). Is it legal to drive on the beach? b) are the locals okay with driving on the beach? c) are there camping sites where you have to drive on the beach to get to them? I knew the answers to all those questions before we drove on the beach. Do you?

      @@mark-di5pf read your reply. My reason for comment is my opinion based on my belief that we are doing harm when we take vehicles anywhere we feel like going. Treating everything like a playground (for those with the means to do so). I have the same issue with car commercials that show vehicles offroad in beautiful wild places. I live near pismo beach. A legal beach vehicles drive on there is constant ongoing debate about recreation with motor vehicles on the dunes. My opinion is never to glorify this choice. I do understand some campground in mexico are right on the beach.
