Testing the XV-JP. A tour of Baja

[Scott Brady]

Stephanie has just finished wrapping the Fall issue of Overland Journal, so we are off to Baja for a week with a few other EarthRoamer owners and Graham and Connie (with the uber-cool Defender).

We are "easing" into the "dangers" of Mexico...

I have always wanted to spend some time in Baja's wine region, taste some wines and find a winery that would accommodate a few expedition trucks. Adobe Guadeloupe is perfecto!

Off to Ensenada and Mike's Sky Rancho manana!

You live on a ranch? I never knew that. But then again i think the moon is just the back side of the sun.

Have a great trip!

Scott,

Love the Spot tracking!....just for fun....i looked ya up a few days ago...Looked like you where headed in that direction.

Looks like a well deserved vacation! Fall issue is another master piece!



You need to make my corn salsa.....it will go good with all that wine!..Plus you will score some points with your better half!



Be safe!

What a trip! I checked out the spot shared page yesterday because Scott mentioned in another thread that he was headed to Mexico shortly.

I zoomed in using satellite imagery and said, "Gee that looks like they're camped at a vineyard."

Neat trip. SPoTs are officially scary now.

And now you'll get to test out the heaters in the XV-JP at Laguna Hanson! It was getting down near freezing at night just a few weeks ago. Stay warm and enjoy!!

We are back

Viva Mexico!!! With each trip south, I become more enamored by the beauty of Mexico and the quality of it's people. There were almost no other travelers on the route, and businesses are really suffering. I expect this will only be a temporary slump.

Even more impressive is the continued development of the Mexican infrastructure and the general development of the middle class.

I will post more images soon, but for now, here is a shot of the XV-JP in the dunes.

Cool shot Scott. What's the name of the dunes?

Did SPOT end up over there during the photo shoot :hehe: or that it's normal resting place? The Jeep looks good.

I remember seeing it there in another shot he posted on another thread.....

My guess would be the Imperial or Algodones Sand Dunes, on his way back to Prescott.
