Hi everyone,
I have been flirting with the idea of going to Baja with my 1998 Chev 1/2 Ton and 2010 Hawk ever since I got it. Convinced the G/F and the dogs (the dogs really didn't need convincing) that we should go. I think we know the main locations to tryout. We are hoping for the following:
We will be driving the whole way obviously - I am thinking 3 days of hard driving to the Mexico Border.
I would be glad to hear any suggestions, ideas, or advice. We would like to camp in some isolated spots - but I do not want to get to technical in terms of 4WD as we will be travelling alone - I will have the recovery gear including a winch. In a perfect world we would like to get to Cabo in about 3 weeks or so.
Questions:
.. and feel free to chime in with any ideas. This will be our first trip. Hoping to travel as light as possible but that will be hard with 2 dogs and food etc.
I will prob post on a couple of different forums.
Thanks in advance

- Cold beer and Taco's
- Nice Beaches to camp on.
- Trouble free travel and campsites
- Whale Watching
- Great Scenery
- Warm weather - we will be leaving Northern Canada in dead of winter

Questions:
- Is 21 Days enough to enjoy our selves on the beach and still make it to Cabo San Lucas?
- Do you expect that we will be able to find some decent spots with out too much technical 4WD?
- Any decent maps or books that might be recommended?
- Any rabbit holes or traps that we should consider with our dogs?
- Please suggest any must "sees"
- Oh ya - how available is internet? Just wondering for the Map capability on my phone.
- The truck has 165,000 Miles (266km) and has been well maintained .. any thing that I should consider on that end?
