MEXICO ROAD TRIP - Dirt Road to San José del Cabo [S7-E82]

[@TREADtheglobe]

You will have heard the devastating news about the tragic earthquake in Turkey & Syria. This video was filmed a couple of weeks before the earthquake stuck. We visited many of the affected areas and are truly heart broken to hear what has happened. We ask everyone to donate even a small amount to one of the many official charities. Our prayers are with the people affected. - sending much love from us xx

[@nickergun4943]

TURKIYE and Turkish people loves you ❤️❤️🇹🇷🇹🇷

[@kerryclarke8745]

Hi! My partner & I have a 4x4 Sprinter, self built Campervan, we have called Gerry. We watch your videos every week, we also purchased your stickers. Last summer, we travelled from Derbyshire, UK to Albania! It was amazing! We go to the Overland Show, in Stratford-upon-Avon, twice a year! We would absolutely love to see you there. We are huge fans! 🙂🚐

[@TREADtheglobe]

That is awesome! Woo Hoo !! Maybe see you there when we get back 🌺🙌🚐

[@TheLvablebird]

Hola 👋from New México🌶️🌵...yes we have lots of washboard roads here...also remember to let some air out of your tires if you get stuck however have a tire pump so can inflate again and if you're by some water wet the sand. Use to live in our van in the 80's. It was scary to see all those campers camping in the dry river bed because of flash floods even if its not raining there the snow melt in the mountains can cause a flash flood. This is for anyone who reads this and all the newbies to camping.😊🤗..we didn't have solar, cellphones ie...we had an ice chest and a gunny sack you can wet and hang in a tree to keep your food cool here in the dry heat..I sure enjoyed your vlog and wish it was longer. Angels all around you and Trudy.💖

[@mesutozsen903]

Marrianne and Crish Eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel vlog için kolay gelsin hayırlı işler....👍👍👍👍

I want a Trudy 😂. Every corner of the world has such beautiful unique amazing people and scenery.

[@Aaron-P]

Tacos, beer, sea views and fresh air, how did you tear yourselves away?! 😱😉 That photo at your date night is one of my favorites of you two. 😊 The Dukes of Hazzard reference had me laughing! 🤣 Looking forward to more adventures, potholes, topés, self-rescues, and expert driving in the weeks ahead! ❤️❤️😎👍xx

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thanks Aaron - we loved it here - maybe one of our best date night locations ever ?!! We have to go back too as they have bull shark diving which is also on our bucket list !! 🙌🐟 M xx 💕🌺🙌

[@jennithepooh4u]

I agree about the photo! It’s so great! I see pure happiness in that pic! ❤

[@davidterry6155]

The chopped tomatoes, onions, jalapeños and cilantro is called Pico de Gallo. Beak of the Rooster. Salsa is thin and watery

[@NomadLifeKiwi]

Haha I know that feeling of temporary relief when you hit a tarsealed bit of road after a long gravel stretch. They do that all the time in New Zealand, exactly like that around a few houses. I think it’s to keep the dust down.

[@flclare6135]

I learnt on desert roads to drive against the corrugating-where safe and possible, be safe,

[@Hutch3021]

Want to start my comments with sending massive love ❤️❤️❤️ to all the sad loses the beautiful people of Turkey have had with this terrible disaster. My thoughts and prayers are with them all 🙏🙏🙏 Food looked so nice guys, and when Chris is happy then we know it’s good 😋 Glad you found a spot and it looked safe which is the main thing 👌 Loving this journey looks so much like the Wild Wild West 🤠 Marianne you don’t have a double chin and have to say the 2 of you look great 🫶 Wow wow wow that is def a perfect spot and having 🐳 to watch too !! The two of you look so happy it’s brilliant to see you smiling so much ❤️❤️

[@nickergun4943]

Thank you Mr. Hutchins for nice heartfelt comments about Turkish people. We are really sad for everyone. May God bless them and people around the world and pray that the humanity will never experience this again. Just a wish!!🙏🙏😭🇹🇷❤️❤️

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thank you Paul 🙏💔 We will be sharing more on this soon and we will continue to support our friends 🌺

[@lindawoody8501]

I enjoy Baja Mexican foods which happily we can get here in NW Arizona in Mexican restaurants as same in many Southern California, USA, Mexican restaurants. I also enjoy the Jalisco area cuisine of the main part of Mexico. Glad you have tasted real Mexican foods. Different than most in the Eastern USA which are more Southern and Eastern Mexican regional dishes. Even in Florida, USA.

[@nickergun4943]

Hello Ambassadors Video reminds me some part of TURKIYE ,like MUGLA, FETHIYE, BODRUM ANTALYA region. When you were climbing up onto that rock you were walking amongst to he Black and beige colored boulders which are called " volcanic bombs" in GEOLOGY. More than likely basaltic rocks ( Iron rich ) they were. Lovely video as expected! Thank you guys! In the meantime, our hearts still aching due to the earthquake that hit our country. May God bless and rest the people in peace whom we lost during the earthquake.🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🙏🙏Love you guys! ❤️❤️

[@TREADtheglobe]

Sending love - 💔💔🙏😭

Been there for a boat outing and a wonderful meal at the same restaurant. Great day. Seeing you there makes me want to go back next winter! Safe travels.

[@vivienogden9916]

Know just how you feel dealing with the vagueness of international shipping. Delivered our vehicle to Southampton docks as arranged, to be told the boat had been delayed by a week, I had only spoken to Shipcars 3 days before and was assured all was on schedule. Better luck tomorrow and fingers crossed. Hope your plans for Japan are going ok.

i really enjoyed that video the scenery is something else. you do pick your roads to travel on. shocking news from Turkey, my friend Mustafa Dereli and his family who live in the devastated area were one of the lucky one to survive, house destroyed. i will be seeing him in August as he woks at the hotel where i stay near Fethiye. look after yourselves.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thank you very much! We will be in Turkiye in March and we are pleased that all of our friends are safe - but all heartbroken together 💔🙏

[@carmenfigueroa8490]

Omg I truly look forward to your videos every week thank you thank you so very much for the time I get to get away with you two.stay healthy safe and blessed my friend ms till next trip 🙏🏾❤️🦋💕

[@bevtrue6937]

The "bumps" are called "topes". (Toe-pez). They are why they say you shouldn't drive in Mexico at night. You can't see them till they gotcha'. You will find some great parkups. Yes, the soft sand is a killer. Thank God for those "trac thingys". Lookit how awesome a place you are in. There is another youtube couple headed for Baja and everybody is telling them "NO, Never go to Mexico. It is way too dangerous." Are you kidding me? Sooo many people have gone down and go every year cause they love it so much. 😍

[@dydem]

Hi 👋 lovely video, beautiful scenery, good food.. I love watching your epic Mexico adventure. Are you going to meet other van bloggers? I assume Overlanding Sophia is in the next videos. Eamon and Bec?? It looks like many people are there to catch Mexican winter. 😊 my husband and my son both have heart murmur. It's genetic, and in theory, they are safe, but like you, they've got checkups every year, especially because both of them play volleyball in amateur leagues of their age groups. 😉😊😊😊😔

[@TREADtheglobe]

Yep we have filmed with Ben and Chesca - but we are about 3 weeks behind in editing and sharing the videos ... so you will have to wait a little bit !! 🙌

Yay ! tread the globe !! Beautiful seascapes for the ocean lovers those colours !! amazing.. lovely spot that thankyou ! beats Margate any day haha 😝🥳😍😎🙏❣ PS Japan !!!!

[@SmallHomeBigGarden]

Isn't it just great, when people suggest roads to you and they turn into nightmares and never know IF there will be a way out? Had a few hair raisers in remote Sweden in the wet and mud. I bough a set of "tyre snow socks" there, which also work in mud and sand. The Long Mynd round your home neck of the woods gave me a run for my money once. Met a Traction Engine coming down the narrow hill at me and at full pelt. Emergency reverse!! However, the reward is always nice to see. - I live on the Isle of Man (theoretically), where we have great beach parking at the Point of Ayre. Come and visit on your return. Japan sounds interesting and you can drive on the left again. Australia required my friends to scrub every orifice of their van with a toothbrush for a month fulltime work at home. Inc Engine, Bottom and Interior!!!!!

[@freelancelady]

You guys need to go to Mexico City to see more…but make sure you have a safe place for your van. 😊😊😊

[@RobertEchten]

Great to keep seeing familiar places and you enjoying them. That drive to Los Barilles from the Los Cabos side has a great view just before you arrive where the long straight road seems to just drop off into the ocean. And Marian, YES!, there is a right way to eat tacos. First don't over-stuff them, have a good grip on them and keep them level and move your mouth to the taco instead of the taco to your mouth. Took me a couple of years to get that and I'm still not perfect eating them without spilling like the locals, but I'm getting better still ;-) And I hate to be that 'well, actually' guy, but the walls of the restaurant are made of palm fronds (the stalky part). Very nasty stuff with strong thorns. I haven't been to Cabo Pulmo in a while, but the paved part of the road looks better. It used to be more potholes than pavement and the dirt road was actually better to drive than the paved road, but it is an EPIC drive with some amazing views.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thanks for the info and I am excited to eat tacos 'properly' soon 👍

[@iainsanders4775]

For a GOOD account of treading the ground in Baja California try In A Desert Place, by Graham Macintosh. Englishman, tenderfoot & a very 1-off book! Good pics too.

[@alanscott8063]

The spicy sauce reminds me of going for chicken rice in Singapore. You get a little pot like that full of lava. Well it feels like that it's that hot. Sounds like you got lava as well.

Noted! Although we do a free weekly newsletter so we keep it all written down there so we don't forget 👍

[@aap-sr4yy]

very nice video series guys, i love them. Just a little advice, in mex, if you want to try a salsa, you use the spoon and have a drop on your hand then try it, dont put your finger inside the salsas... thx for sharing your adventures... =)

[@chadgibson5842]

you must go fishing when in Barriles.. best sport fishing in the world! Yellowtails may be hitting now and Sierras all day but best in the morning.. or jsut ask for the fresh fish at the restaurant.. chicken is good, beef not the best but the fish is amazing and unrivaled

[@lindawoody8501]

I just thought of an idea - sometimes hotel or motel or inn owners will allow you to pay to park in their hotel parking lot and you assure them that you won't use their other facilities other than perhaps a restaurant. Dad did that in Mexico and in California when traveling at times if stuck without a camp-site. In the USA easier to try at a owner operated motel or hotel and not a chain place.

[@rp7392]

I love you guys 🥰

[@joannagrimmer]

Washboard roads are called corrugated in Oztralya. 😊

[@craniorach5764]

You guys have to visit fresnillo ZAC, very beautiful city

[@virginiawestcot3111]

How are your friends in Turkey??? I hope they were not in the earthquake area. Tragedy all over the globe. I saw a banner that said Trudy shipping to Japan in March. I wondered are you almost through treading the globe??? I can't believe how you have become such a huge part of my life and I'm sure the lives of many I don't even want to think of the day Trudy is back home in England I'll miss you SO MUCH 💔

[@TREADtheglobe]

Hi Virginia - thank you so much for asking - yes they are ok but we are all heartbroken - we will be sharing a video soon to help promote donations - but there is so little we can do - when we go in March we will be sharing the work that our friends have done - more on that soon. We are driving our girl Trudy around the world - but we do not plan to get rid of her ever !! She is home 🙏

[@sammayet9002]

Spectacular, splendid and wonderful ❤❤❤

[@StephenandSusan6557]

We just did a catch-up of your two recent videos and really enjoyed them. It’s good to see a few drone shots and views, as well as meals, of course. And closeups. Perhaps having just one video per week is helping in giving you more time to film with a view to having a good story line for editing. We call them corrugated roads in Australia, not washboard. You both also seem a bit more relaxed - thanks to Baja perhaps.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Awesome, thank you! We are pleased you enjoyed them - yes one a week seems to give us more time outside of the van !! Which has been great for thinking, breathing and we are currently working on a short video for Turkiye and Syria - as you know we are heartbroken and feeling helpless like everyone ... 💔🙏

I had to laugh with the "dip" in the road. These dips are Chicago year round on main arteries - way over 5cm. Those dips are followed on the side streets with bumps in the road. Buena suerte on your adventure to Ushuaia!

Belki videolar önceden hazırlanıyordur ve bu sebepten Türkiye için bir söz söylememişsinizdir . Ama , ne olursa olsun , çok uzun zaman konakladığınız bir ülkenin , sevdiğinizi söylediğiniz insanlarının büyük bir kısmı çok büyük depreme maruz kaldılar ve çoğu şu anda enkaz altında ve hayatlarını kaybettiler . Diğer şehirlerde yaşayan diğer Türkler onlara yardımcı olabilmek için fedakarca çalışıyor ve üzüntüden günlerdir yemek yemiyor ve uyumuyorlar. Tüm Türk halkı yas tutuyor. Biraz acımızı paylaşsanız iyi olurdu diye düşünüyorum. Sevgiler .

[@TREADtheglobe]

Türkiye ve Suriye konusunda kalbimiz kırıldı - depremden etkilenen birçok yeri ziyaret ettik. Bu tam bir trajedi. Bağışların yüzdesini aldıkları ve her kuruşunun önemli olduğu için Türkiye için bir gofundme kurmamaya karar verdik. Tüm paranın doğrudan ihtiyacı olanlara gittiği birçok resmi hayır kurumu ve devlet kuruluşu var. İnsanlar yardımcı olsun diye linkleri paylaştık ve paylaşmaya devam edeceğiz. Türkiye'deki dostlarımızla nasıl destek olabileceğimizi öğrenmek için temasa geçtik. Dekafok (kaplumbağa projesi) ve bazı arkadaşlarımız yardım götürmek için etkilenen bölgelere gittiler ve ayrıca etkilenen aileleri evlerinde yaşamaları için geri getiriyorlar. Pek çok kişi gibi biz de bu kadar uzakta olduğumuz için çaresiz hissediyoruz ve doğrudan etkilenenlere yardım etmek için çalışan arkadaşlarımızı desteklemeye devam etmek için elimizden gelen her şeyi yapacağız.
