Great vid, Roger. Thanks for this. It's a keeper. It's about five years prior to my Baja initiation.

Mike McMahan just beginning his love for Baja... Video link has been posted on Nomad many times, but it is one that is great to repeat for the newbies and those who loved the pre-pavement era of Baja!

I wonder if Frank Alvarado is related to Bill Alvarado who used to own the Punta Chivato Hotel in the '60's.

Great! In 1952 I went exploring mainland Mexico with my Dad. We had a 1950 Olds and he let me drive much of the way. I was 11.

When my parents had the good sense to move from Butte, MT to San Diego in 1953 I was 16 and had a 1940 Packard. Used to get 4 friends to each chip in fifty cents for gas (at 19 cents/gal) and tell Mom we were going to the Fri. night football game. Half hour later we were sitting in a bar in Tijuana. Never got caught.
