My Last Video and Thanks to Everyone

Wanderglobe - 8-3-2012 at 07:33 PM

Hi folks,

I'm back in Canada now after spending a little over 5 months in Baja California. I had a great time and traveled to many little corners and nooks. That being said I don't think I even scratched the surface of the wonders that Baja has to offer. I came back with almost 500 GBs of video footage and photos and will now spend the next few months piecing together a DVD of my travels. At some point within the next year I will return to Mexico, via Baja California, and take the ferry over to Los Mochis to begin exploring and shooting a second DVD on the Pacific Coast. At that point I will explore some of the areas I missed on this trip and hopefully will be able to offer up some more footage of this stunning landscape and hospitable people.

A special thanks to everyone I met along the way who helped me out, gave me a place to stay, pointed me up an arroyo or just had a cold one with me. As well to the incredibly helpful people on this forum. If it wasn't for all of you my trip would not have been as successful as it was.

This short video is for all of you and is just some of my favorite sights and places that I visited in Baja California. For the full, HD, version you can follow the link to youtube and watch it in 1080.

Cheers.

Scott



A Quick Note: None of this footage was shot at, or near, a resort. Mexico is so much better when you actually visit Mexico.

DAMN GOOD !!

Really nice piece Scott...it was a pleasure to be part of your journey amigo! I cant wait to see the finished product...you do have a great feel for the peninsula.

Bob H - 8-4-2012 at 01:01 AM

That was GREAT... are there other videos that you posted that I might have missed?

willyAirstream - 8-4-2012 at 07:15 AM

Great footage! Can`t wait to see the complete vid. Pre-orders accepted? Sign me up for a DL version.

Hey all. Thanks for the kind words but at the end of the day it's not me....Baja pretty much shoots itself. There are times when you can't get a bad shot. To answer some questions:

woody with a view: Yes, I am hooked. Always have been. I love the diversity of Mexico but most of all I love the people there. No, not you crazy ex-pats, you're all nuts. :)

Rainer and Bob H: There are more videos at my website listed below as well as photographs. I'll be compiling notes and writing some articles now that I'm back and settled.

willyAirstream: No pre-orders but I think I will try to organize a pay per view type of deal where you can watch it online. I haven't looked into the logistics but it only makes sense.

Thanks. Well, once the engine was replaced the bus handled great. Good off road vehicle as well as for the long smooth rides. I can't think of any other vehicle I would want to take on a drive like this. Be nice if it was better on gas but that's what you get when you're driving something as aerodynamic as a tipped over fridge. Still, it's comfortable and more importantly for me, approachable. People love the bus and don't mind coming over to say hi.

Well done and safe travels. thanks for all that you have brought to Mexico; may you always hold close to the memories.

Thanks folks for the kind words. Caktkw, yes, I am working on a DVD of my travels but have been a bit sidetracked with an ill father. I'm hoping to have something complete by the new year.

Hi Judy,

I look forward to heading back your way as well and perhaps spending a little more time. You have an amazing shop and a pocket laden with pesos would quickly become depleted in there I'm sure.

The pelican shot is from San Ignacio. Really good eye. That's a nice little area that I didn't spend much more than an afternoon in. Next year I'll spend more time there and get more footage on the area.

bacquito - 11-14-2012 at 04:55 PM

Great, thanks.

pappy - 11-17-2012 at 09:21 AM

well done! good way to start my day!
