Hey Good morning. My name is Rolando I am
In Northern California. I had been going to Baja California for the last at least 15 years, either my self or a couple friends. I am planning on going this coming November to see the Baja 1000 car race but before I would like to visit some of my favorite places. I will be leaving around 11/08. Any buddy interested get back to me it will be a max of 3-4 peoples, if you sign up make sure you will be going because if you don’t go you may preventing other people of going. The detail will come up as soon I have the group. I was there 2 weeks ago and me and my friends had a blast watching the Baja400 car race.
Hi Rolando. We are interested depending on logistics. If I'm seeing the latest it looks like total dates in Mexico are 11/9 - 11/17. We are in Oregon and would like to caravan with you from Northern California. How many days to get from your place to the border? Will you be camping every night? We would be driving our 4x4 Sportsmobile camper van.

Hi. From my house it’s take about 12 hours to the border. Basically I’m planning to leave my house on the 11/8 around 2:00 o’clock and drive for about 6-7 hrs and stop at the leggett rest area on highway 5, take little nap and leave the rest area around 2:00 A.M. to be at the border around 6:00, stop by to get the FMM ( Mexican tourist visa) and start going down into Baja. I will be taking highway 5 at Williams Ca. and definitely we can caravan down, yes we will be camping every day at either a pay campground or will look for a safe place to spend the night. I prefer pay campground just to feel more safe and they are not that expensive may $10-$20 dollars a night, some are better than other, but be prepared to used your own equipment just in case (toilet , shower etc). Let me know if you have more questions. My only requirement is to make a solid group of committed people. Thanks
