Baja California - Off the Beaten Trail Part 1

In this episode, we head back to Baja for the second time in three months to explore a bit of the Pacific Ocean side of the peninsula. We enter Mexico through Tecate, travel to Ensenada, then work our way down the coast to Cataviña and Guerrero Negro. Having improved our Spanish a bit, and generally having a better understanding of how to navigate the Mexican culture in Baja, we are able to enjoy the trip on our terms. We go deeper into the central desert and experiencing more of what veteran travelers call the 'real' Baja.

Definitely love the high quality content- Baja looks amazing! Your photography is gorgeous, and your perspective while traveling is awesome!

[@FurthurOffRoad]

Thanks for the comment! Baja is really a special place (and very easy to photograph well 😉).

That fire you had with the red background was spectacular, I see you got a drone great purchase, great video.

[@FurthurOffRoad]

Thanks again! Stay tuned… We’ve been on a bit of a break but will be uploading more in the next couple weeks. And yes, super excited to add the drone footage to our videos!

[@blazingmandala]

Ah nice, good memories for me and I hope to make more and possibly with you two

[@miklrb]

Another great vid guys, I keep loving your adventures. Pete is looking good as well with the new tent setup. Safe travels, looking forward to part 2.

[@FurthurOffRoad]

Thanks Mike. We dig Pete's new look too! And the camping is way easier.

[@krashnpa]

Very cool, can't wait to see the rest! Glad you guys made it thru the la mordida, hopefully not too much lighter.

[@FurthurOffRoad]

Yeah, we held our ground about taking care of the ticket at the station. They let us go. Would've been a 2900 Peso 'lightening' LOL.

This looks like an awesome trip! Makes me want to jump in the truck and head to the beach.

[@FurthurOffRoad]

Great vlogg, well crafted. Where precisely is the place you are setting camp, just after Catavina? Looks amazing, like a catcus garden!

[@FurthurOffRoad]

Don’t recall exactly, but I remember the trail to the camp is almost directly across the road from the petroglyph site or thereabouts. Thanks for the comment!

[@lemoaivoyageur]

you are welcome @@FurthurOffRoad I love the musical touch as well. Some of the "scenes" look like a Pink Floyd album cover! PS: We are off to Baja very soon :-)

[@FurthurOffRoad]

@@lemoaivoyageur Have an awesome trip! Baja is a truly special place

[@russellharford806]

To avoid police shakedowns you should always have a camera recording yourself. Ours has a twenty minute loop.

[@FurthurOffRoad]

We started doing this on our last trip. Definitely changed the dynamic during the routine stops. Didn’t have any stops by the Policía this time though.

[@Slimnbonez]

Just imagine the kind of shake downs, Mexicans have to deal with coming north… gringos got it pretty easy going south.

[@torovalenzuela34]

Tecate police is known for that.

[@FurthurOffRoad]

We are hearing this more and more

[@georgewashington938]

so, did you pay the bribe?

[@FurthurOffRoad]

Nope. We never do in Mexico or anywhere else 😆

[@rickrobinson4321]
