Yeah, im not sure if it had sound originally. Can anyone tell where they are fishing? I like how the video tells a story but no sound is needed to
tell it. It is so much different today but so similar at the same time. Loading up the vehicle and fishing gear, getting stuck in the mud, that first
glimpse of the ocean. Meet the locals, go fishing with them, and have a blast all while consuming large quantities of Pacifico. I love it!
The glory days of Baja when it was just being discovered... That trip is documented in the book (cover shown at the start) 'Baja California' and Mike
McMahan is one of the members of that group... famous for the Baja wall maps and his own book 'There It Is: Baja!' ('Adventures in Baja').
This video has been on Nomad before... thanks for posting for those who haven't seen it. The first truck on dirt road scene is the top of the grade
going down to El Rosario.
thanks slowmad! i have and read mike's books many a time, loving the old school trucks and adventures. would love to have been along with those guys
in that time! simple, clean, fun. what an era!
