I don't like the way my van is set up, but that's the way it came. When I raced motocross, my friend/sponsor let me and his son use this van for racing all over the country. He paid to have it converted so it was comfortable for long trips (and so his wife would like it). His son and I were best...

Thanks!

Can you ride dirt bikes down to the water? :)

Thanks Chris! We should meet at Hole In The Rock (trail, not road). It's such an amazing trail. I hit an obstacle and radioed back to my sweep guy "that's the gnarliest thing I've done in my van!" It was like that for the next 9 hours! That's my next trip report...

1996 Ford E250 2nd owner Microwave, ARB fridge, killer tunes Like new Never off-road Cleans up well. *not for sale :)

Final leg of the trip. I expect this will be getting an upgrade soon! We saw these guys down in Bay Of LA earlier in the trip...It was funny to see them in line at the border! Border patrol agents must have to pass a jerk test before getting hired. They are usually the most...

We had a wonderful night at Jardine's. The hot showers felt incredible. Kristal and I kept our drinks to a minimum (like 12 each). It rained most of the night and the roads showed it. I didn't care, I like the mud! Our next night would be in Ensenada at the San Nicolas Hotel. So we...

Thanks guys! We forged through the muddy towns on our way to Jardine's in San Quintin. As we rolled into San Quintin, the only vehicles moving were 4x4's. This place was hit hard. Jardine's is a beautiful hotel with great food and even better margaritas. My buddies and I stay here a...

The skies did not disappoint! Had our fair share of rain ahead of us...all good though! Rolled up on this guy. Anybody from the forum? The towns were hit hard by the rain.

We enjoyed the beach and the sunshine for a few more hours. Eventually making our way back towards some civilization... Which means airing the tires back up...always disappointing! Found an open car wash...FINALLY! All clean!

The plan was to back up as close as I could to the rocks. I was up on the shelf and I had tested the sand a couple times, making sure I could drive on it without burying the van. I've seen some really bad stuff happen in the wet sand and didn't feel confident about just driving on...

I've woken up in better places...that's for sure! What a muddy mess! Still enjoying it though! The sun finally came out! If you know where this next location is, that is great! But, maybe the whole world doesn't need to know! ;) The info is out there if you search. Anyway! We...

We need to get our schedules aligned one of these days! I'm so far behind on trip reports, I just started one from January!

Once we passed the mission again we were back to new territory. The goal was to make it to the beach by sunset. Another lofty goal I set for us. Crazy how the scenery changes. The storm is a comin! The next few days were going to have me wishing for Mud Grapplers!

We spent a couple hours at the mission and then hit the trail. Of course, I chose the one less traveled and ended up turning around after a few hours! What looks passable on Google Earth isn't always passable on "real" Earth. The "trail" was getting very difficult to follow! I...

Back to the San Borja mission trail. It's not a bad trail and I think you could get almost anything back in there. Still like to get my race on! San Borja The inside is unbelievable...I don't even know where to start, so I'll just post a couple pics...

Our next true destination was the San Borja mission. While doing some research on our route I came across some areas that looked too good to pass up, and they were somewhat on the way to the mission. This trail isn't as well traveled but the scenery is awesome! Lot's of desert pinstriping to be...

Kristal and I had some food and many margaritas but still got up early enough to do some exploring around town. We saw this manly lookin truck. Found this cool area north of town. We went as far north as possible and enjoyed the tranquility...and the wheeling! And some more...

After the siltbed we cruised on through the desert some more...enjoying the scenery. Back on HWY1 for a stint... Turn left for a good time! Made it to Bay of LA with some time to spare to look around! Our 5 star room for the night!

There are a couple routes to choose from to get back to HWY 1. Whichever one you take, it seems like a while to get there. Still lots to see if you enjoy the desert! Have you ever heard of silt? Imagine driving through 3' deep baby powder...with ruts and holes hidden in there! You don't...
