Crazy Baja adventure concludes for two amigos
http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/excursions/post/baja-expediti...
".....................The first part of the trip was captured beautifully in a 2 1/2-minute video created by DeShields using only his phone. The
quickest camera to draw is always my phone, he wrote. It captures candid moments better than any camera in our arsenal. This video
gives an
honest, frank, and fun view of what life was like for us hiking down the Baja Peninsula. Take a look:
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Just looks like photos from previously... such as this:

It's far less of an adventure. The most important element of an adventure is danger.
There was recently a group that duplicated Shackleton's famous Antarctic voyage with an accompanying boat for safety. Everything was worn, eaten, and
built as the original voyage. A sextant was used rather than GPS. But nobody was under any illusion that this was anything close to Shackleton's
experience.
Death is the most important variable in the equation. And no scratches, bruises, sunburn, callouses or thirst can make up for that.
By 19 century standards our experiences are 'adventures lite'.

Whithout a SPOT, you need to figure your own solution and death may be part of the danger. Majority of emergencies get solved and make great campfire
stories later!
Nothing beats a nice campfire and new friends around to exchange stories of high adventure in 'The Baja'!

Didn't they lose their spot tracker early on?
They took some really great photos on their trip!

I don't agree. I think we can all think of adventures in our life that thankfully did not calculate death into the experience. Of course equally we
could consider crossing the street an adventure these days. | Quote: | Originally posted by Skipjack Joe

...I think he's asking 'is it still an adventure if there's no -risk-'
...and it's probably best advised that you keep your eyes open when crossing th'street too!!!

Ah so he was asking a question, I didn't realize that! Adventures in my opinion can take on many faces, from the hardly risky to the dangerously
foolhardy (as in racing at 100 miles an hour in a suburb area, even a star of over 6 Fast and Furious movies couldn't pull it off!) And what about a
romantic adventure, how many of you macho men will admit you went into it with your eyes open?? Just sayin'!! | Quote: | Originally posted by micah202
