JuniorBirdMan Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 February and March are typically a time when I dream about going someplace warm and friendly, so I signed up for a 6-week trek from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas and back. Have any of you tried one of these caravans before and, if so, what was your overall impression? Aubrey and the two wingmen, Woodstock & Rascal Oliver #032, "El Huevito" Ford F-150 4x4
routlaw Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 LOL, its all relative. To me going to LA or anywhere near the gulf coast seems warm to me in Feb & Mar, but then I live in MT. Never heard of organized caravans such as you describe however. Legacy Elite II #70
Moderators bugeyedriver Posted October 19, 2014 Moderators Posted October 19, 2014 Aubrey, Good to hear from you buddy! You tired of making slingshots, etc for the g'kids and planning an adventure? Sounds like it could potentially be a lot of fun . . . and it could also be FUBAR. The quality of the trip might hinge on the reputation and capabilities of the Wagonmaster. What group are you signing up to go with? Any reviews on them? Have you and the Teddy Bears been practicing your Español? Pete Pete & "Bosker".

allenpamela Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 I hate to age myself but I remember when those caravans first started over 30 years ago. As I was running a white water rafting business at that time I spoke with some of the "wagon masters" at trade shows who were just starting out. Thought it sounded fun. I would definitely check on the company's track record and make sure there are no issues with taking dogs. Baja is still considered safe for tourist. Too much money being made to not keep the criminal element out. Sounds like it could be a great trip and hope you take many photos to share with the rest of us if you go. Pam
JuniorBirdMan Posted October 20, 2014 Author Posted October 20, 2014 I'm going with Adventure Caravans out of Livingston, TX. Trip starts from San Diego on Feb 7. Good reviews, dogs OK, and lotsa good info provided. Wagonmasters and tailgunners have spent a lot of time in Baja. I dare say I'll have the smallest camper in the group.

allenpamela Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 When the tail gunner yells to circle the wagons everyone else will wish they had your Oliver. I looked at the website and that looks like a great trip. You are going to have a great time. Pam
