Thanks for the update! It had been a while... We enjoy your videos and they always inspire us to have further adventures in our own Westy. I am one who is not comfortable with the idea of going to Mexico, so it is wonderful to see you having a really pleasant experience. Thanks again for another great artistic video!
@ThatBaldwinLife6 ай бұрын
Yeah it has been a while!! What experience in Mexico did you have that would make you uncomfortable? If it’s just the news or other people who haven’t been either, throw out those opinions!! Baja is pretty mild compared to mainland Mexico so it’s a great start. Thanks so much for watching!! Nate

Hi Nate & Nancy, Another fabulous video you have made for us all, which makes me just want to jump in my van and go off and travel again! On a side note, i have finally just about finished the restoration on my 1993 VW LT31 Karmann Distance Wide motor-home, which we took away to a local theme park and campsite called Crealy, in Devon here in the UK. The van drove faultlessly and we all had a great time. I popped a quick new video up on my KZbin channel if you fancied seeing it all built, along with the rest of the build of the van. All the best and i am really looking forward to your next instalment. Cheers, Simon.

Hey Simon! The LT31 looks amazing! What a cool platform! Glad you had a great time on your maiden voyage, I am sure that felt great. Thanks for watching and we had a great time in Mexico and can't wait to go back. nate

fuel problems are the order of the day. We've been struggling with our fuel system and finally ordered a new fuel pump. I also had a leak, but for me it was coming from one of the fuel injectors, so we also ordered a new fuel injector reseal kit after cobbling it back together. These vans are work but man they get smiles for every mile. Looks like a fabulous trip guys. Congrats, and thanks for the virtual trip. Nice work.

Down the road from Santispac there are many other beach spots, sure Santispac is beautiful but there are many other beaches, I camped at one (can't remember the name) like 10 minutes south, we were the only ones at the beach.

Another great video. Your camera skills and editing are first rate!! IMHO, fish tacos always taste better in Mexico....Now you have me Jonesing for some...ARGHHHHH... Anywhere you are, pay attention to your surroundings. If you dont feel safe, go somewhere you do feel safe. There are kind people everywhere, and punks, too. Don't let the punks win.

love your stuff, you tube overland content is always funny if you have done all these routes in Baja, Utah, and Ca. Content requires a story that usually ignores the logistics of the actual route, jumping hundreds of miles from frame to frame as if transported by laser beams.

Great vid. Did you maybe get Concepcion out of order. ? Heading south it use to be before Loreto.
@ThatBaldwinLife5 ай бұрын
Thanks! I can see how it looks a little confusing and I should have added something in the voiceover for that. It is still in the same place :) We went from Concepcion (Santispac) to Loreto, then to San Javier. From there we went back through Loreto and stayed at Concepcion again. Basically after San Javier, we headed back north. Thanks for watching and the feedback! nate
