Wornouts rides look good if he can find any route not wooped out. As I said before have buddy with house there. He has dirt bikes and SXS like me. If
any good routes do exist I will travel there.

Never heard of that museum. What’s it about?
Woke!

will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.”

The Chenowth Legacy Lodge is quite well mentioned on Baja sites, like Nomad. It is a resort just north of Percebu that has the museum of all the off
road vehicle history of Lynn Chenowth. Including the famous military assault buggy made for the U.S. It will remind you of Rat Patrol's Jeeps in North
Africa. |
Who is Lynn chenowth? Any relation to Kristen Chenoweth?
So the museum is some old off road vehicles? (Sorry, did not see a link to a museum)
Fame - Why is the buggy famous?
My memory of rat patrol was of some soldiers running around sand dunes in Willys, sound correct?

Chenowth's are very well known in the sand sports community, I owned one back in the early '00's.

Chenowth made top of the category competitive race buggies. This was back in the day when VW powered rigs were very popular. The US military noticed
them and he got a contract to build a fleet of them with guns and other stuff for fighting a war.
Many examples of his various rigs are on display at his museum.

Willys Overland and Ford built the Willys model for the war. Willys was called the MB (Model B) and Ford was called the GPW (General Purpose Willys).
Some say the letters GP created the nick name 'Jeep'.

I did not go, but the report was that the parking place on the south bank is now gone, and the new parking place is in the wash. Some pictures would
be nice. I will go there for pics, but it not high on my to do list. The other canyons have the priority.
