Thanks!
There is so much info that it was difficult to limit what to include. That is why I included source links to see more.

Imaginary conversation......


Grandpa, what did you do during the war?

Well, I went off-roading in Baja!




If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

You can bet that is when the first Willys-Overland (MBs) or Ford (GPWs) 'jeeps' and Dodge Power Wagons drove in Baja!

If you read the page, you will learn that all military insignia (white stars) had to be removed and soldiers couldn't be in uniform, when driving in neutral Mexico.
