I put together a video of our Oct / Nov Baja trip if anyone is interested. The video is located on YouTube HERE. Some day I'll figure out how to embed a video directly into a post.
Other than losing the vacuum pump (and subsequently my brakes) 4 hours into the trip it was another fantastic Baja trip! I'll be heading down again
Feb / March solo to do some exploring. My wife isn't so much the 4 wheeling explorer type so I'll go find more wife friendly spots to take her to
later.
Enjoy!

excellent thanks for sharing.
Before I retired every time we took a news van into the local FORD dealer for a repair we had to take it back at least once sometimes twice before
they got it right. It looks like they may have fixed those issues.
Again thanksAKgringo - 12-26-2022 at 08:24 PM
Good job on the video! I forward clips like yours to a couple of friends and family members on the hopes that they will be insoired to join me next
time I go poking around Baja looking for a new favorite spot!

2) Put that between the Nomad tags for YouTube video posting:
[youtube] and [/youtube] with the image size included. I use =640x480 for YouTube image size.
Here is the code with a space added after the 480, so it doesn't open followed by what happens with the space removed:

pjpvi, you have a great camera eye!

Thank you David. Unfortunately this event marked the end for this awning. It twisted the aluminum badly and destroyed one of the "arms". I had a
similar event happen on a previous Baja trip when I was by myself. It didn't damage it and I was able to remount it by myself which was no small
effort (these things are heavy when you are a proverbial 140lb aging weakling).
This time I strapped it to the roof with the intent of depositing it in the Loreto landfill but passed a recycler south of Loreto, pulled a u-turn and
stopped to see if they wanted it for the aluminum. The girl there gladly accepted it so hopefully it was stripped for it's aluminum or better yet,
maybe a resourceful local has repurposed it. Way better than adding to the landfill!
Here's the recycler I dropped it at. Found it on Google Maps street view.

Thanks for putting this together, nice looking van . I’m just starting a van build so am curious about other peoples builds.

Think I already saw it on some guy's panga.
Haha. That is a very valid repurposing of it as the fabric was still good.
Thanks again everyone for the kind comments and Happy New Year (almost)!elgatoloco - 12-28-2022 at 05:35 PM

Great video! I've been to most of those spots. A lot of good memmories in BajaBajaBlanca - 1-8-2023 at 11:20 PM
What a GREAT video! Took me right back to Baja! Are you headed to La Bocana this next trip hint hint hint?!!!pjpvi - 1-9-2023 at 07:57 AM
Thanks for all the nice comments! I greatly appreciate it.
I don't think I'll be making it La Bocana way this trip Blanca. I hope the family is doing well and kids are getting to use the baseball gear we
dropped off last trip there!Bajahunter - 2-7-2023 at 07:32 AM
Great video. Thanks for posting pjpvi - 2-7-2023 at 09:22 AM
Thanks Bajahunter.
I'm heading back south tomorrow again. Simply can't get enough of BC & BCS. Going solo this time with intent of exploring some new places as I
feel I've gotten in a rut the last few trips going to the same insanely beautiful places. I know there are many more I need to find!
