Laguna Hanson trip

Its been of the list of places to visit since I first head about it a few years ago. We entered the park from the north after having breakfast at Cabana de Abuelo in La Rumorosa (thank you Maderita for the tip and the other information). The road was not too bad and it was a pretty cool drive. The lake itself had water and the area itself was stunning. There were plenty of people camping but we managed to find a spot that was away from the crowds. We exited from the south towards Ojos Negros which was a shorter dirt road but the washboard was a a bit more exciting. Overall we found the location a great spot to spend a weekend and would like to spend some more time exploring the area. The plan is to return later in the year once it cools down a bit.

BornFisher, yes it is my rig and I appreciate the thumbs up

BigBearRider - Its a series IIA 109 built in 1967. The engine and drive train has all bee replaced with "modern" rover parts, 200tdi r380 gearbox etc. The trailer started life on the back of a beer mat and was built from there. Its been up and down mex 1 few times now and plenty of off rad and is holding up well. It as a pull out kitchen with a 20 gallon water tank, pull out fridge, and the rooftop tend is raised up to the correct height using electric activators. Attached are some pics from a San Ignacio / Playa Escondida trip last Feb. I can ramble on for hours about the build. let me know if you need specifics. Cheers

Are the modern parts reliable? More so than the older parts? Great pics. Pullout kitchen! So cool.
