I bet he turned of his phone at the picnic place then turned it on later.
I see all the pics on the relive playback
I used to scroll down and see all the pics but that feature is now gone.

Me too, and last season I shared a few of the photos from each run. Now, without that feature from Relive one must watch the video to see his photos and clips along with the moving map.

Do you go on all of these trips or just occasionally?

PaulW - 11-21-2024 at 09:15 AM

DK when I am in Baja we try to attend all his trips. Lots of nice folks and neighbors to mingle with. I usually end up being the recovery guy when someone needs a tow home or a flat fixed.
As you can see from the pics the crowd is mostly UTVs, but usually there are jeeps and more buggies like Wornout's.

As an interesting aside Wornout drives an imported ex military Chenowith buggy with all the necessary personal upgrades for his use.

From Warren, today (12-16-24):

David K - 12-16-2024 at 11:49 AM

This week we will be going to what is called Volcano Mountain which is behind the area where the Sulfur Quarry is, South of San Felipe.

We will meet across the hwy from the Airport Road Chevron, at 9:00 am on Wednesday. We will head south on the powerline dirt road to an area just past where the wells are. Next we will head west to Volcano Mountain and have lunch. This trip will be somewhere around 60 miles round trip.

12-18-24: Volcano Run

David K - 12-21-2024 at 09:21 AM

Warnout takes a large group from San Felipe to the pointy hill, west of the sulfur mine.

These are excellent videos. I found myself wanting to ride along, virtually, and wondering if they could use a gopro or something similar to add moving video from a vehicle.

The moving map, laced with photos and video clips are fun to see!

I did see the on board video in this 'Beach Run' file. It is good but short. It would be nice to see more video of traveling the terrain, shot from a moving vehicle.

He has included some moving videos...

This week, they will be going to the sulfur mine, 4.5 miles west from Km. 32 (Nuevo Mazatlan/ Arroyo Agua de Chale)

The videos are very good without onboard clips, but with them it seems to add another element. Maybe it's difficult to make a good video while rocketing across the desert, to keep the vibrations from adversely affecting the image.

David K - 2-27-2025 at 07:54 AM

They are a group of (mostly) retired folks. Not much 'rocketing', I don't think... lol!

Maybe PaulW can chime in or relay how to do the kind of videos you mention... as he often joins Wornout's runs.

Wornout mentioned this may be the final organized run of the season. I f so, we look forward to the next season, in the late Fall of this year.
