Mainland Mexico group like Baja Nomad?
Hello...
After visiting Baja exclusively for many years, we are interested in exploring some of the mainland. We will be a group of two or three vehicles and
are looking for a caravan to join up with. Dates are very flexible at this point. I'm wondering if anyone here knows of a similar group for the
mainland where we might meet some like-minded folks to travel south with. I'm not interested in a commercial tour, just a few more folks to band
together with for safety on that tricky coast. We're headed to at least below Puerto Vallarta/Manzanillo. Thanks for your thoughts!

Check out 'Vagabundos del Mar'.
I have not been a member since 1986, so I cannot vouch for them in this internet age. It was a source of information and support for my parents for
years!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Also Puerto Vallarta Scene
Both of these have forums where you can post.

If you ever get to Columbus, NM and the little border town of Palomas MX there's a large restaurant/curio store they call "The Pink Store", and at the
main counter are sign-up sheets for convoy/caravan trips into the interior, and primarily the Copper Canyon gig. They leave every couple of weeks.
Nice State Park campground in Columbus.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

I also am leaving Baja as soon as the weather cools and going to the mainland. Best sites I've found are:
On The Road in Mexico Facebook
Travel Buddies On the Road in Mexico Facebook
expatforum.com click onto mexico
mexconnect.com forum

Groups "like Baja Nomad"?
You are traveling. Other than a few short-lasting tourists, BN don't travel much, though most of them drive back and forth between Baja and NOB home,
same route, few times a year. People in San Felipe corridor or Ensenada-Rosarito migrate more often.
A forum similar to BN, in Guadalachara area: http://www.chapala.com/wwwboard/webboard.html
These two are wider geographically:
http://yucalandia.com/
http://www.mexconnect.com/forums/
Must be a few dozen other groups, smaller, with less web traffic.
