Any info on Camp4lo guide that was robbed? Saw a post on another Baja form that his truck and everything was taken, but him and his dog were unharmed.
No other info was given.

I have never heard of Camp4lo. Where and when was this reported to have occurred?

Is the "where and when" part of the info not given?

The post on fb linked to a gofundme for an offroad tour guide that was robbed. The post and gofundme just said he was robbed in baja, car stolen. no details. Didnt say what he needed the money for, I assume to buy a new car?

Yeah, no other info given, but some good people have posted that they know him and want to support him. The where and when is what I was after, but it sounds like they got his phone and everything he had with him.

Looks like a tour operation.

Not my cup of tea to do backroads with a 20-car caravan, but I guess there's a feeling of security in numbers.

Bummer about getting robbed like that, though! Not our Baja of 20 years ago. :no:

Where is this mentioned? I searched on Gofundme, TalkBaja and the Camp4Lo page on FB.

The GoFundMe might do better if titled 'Robbed and Carjacked'

It is Matt Frick and he confirmed the story this morning. He was near Valle de la Trinidad and came upon a roadblock. He was robbed and had to walk back to Trinidad.

Edit: this was on the dirt road between Valle Trinidad and Mex 1 (near San Vicente) in the daytime.

Thanks David, I just saw that they posted on it. Bummer, because the road is a nice way to skip Ensenada and the traffic. I will avoid it until they get it under control.
When we came up from the hot springs (Canon de Guadalope) and out to Hwy 3 last year, the last canyon before we popped out at the remote ranch off of 3. We saw at least ten burned out cars that had been stripped and dumped, not old junk either. Probably a popular spot to dump stolen cars, not much traffic going out that way.
