OK folks – we’ve had a cancellation due to health reasons, so we have a spot opened up for our Baja Adventure. You can read about what we are doing on this thread;



http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showthread.php?t=278722



Here are the specifics;



We will meet in Yuma on May 4th, where we have a secure place to store trucks/trailers. We will cross the border at San Luis on May 5th. We have rooms reserved at the following places (double occupancy). 10 Nights.



Where

1EnsenadaHorsepower Ranch

2Punta de CarlosSolo Sports

3Bahia de Los AngelesLos Vientos

4San IgnacioDesert Inn

5LoretoVia del Palomar

6LoretoVia del Palomar

7La PazCosta Baja

8LoretoVia del Palomar

9Guerrero NegroHotel Cowboy

10San FelipePlaya del Parisio



We plan to be off-highway about 75% of the trip South, and about 30% on the trip back North. We will hit many of the remaining Missions, as well as plenty of other really cool spots in Baja. Much of the run will be along either the Pacific Ocean or the Sea of Cortez.



The rooms have been pre-paid and are approximately $1,850 PER BRONCO (2 people). This has been paid by the person cancelling, and it is up to them how much they are willing to transfer that for.



Additional cost will be a “shared” expense of approximately $500 PER BRONCO for our Chase Truck (Trailer, Drivers, Fuel, Insurance, Lodging). There isn’t any sort of fee being paid to me – I’m just a coordinator. Additional cost will be Mexican Insurance (about $250), your fuel, your food and whatever else you want to spend your pesos on.



If you are seriously interested, let me know ASAP! You will need a RELIABLE Bronco. We aren't "racing" thru Baja, and my intention is to travel trails suitable for a stock Bronco (with 4x4 working, of course). But the Bronco needs to be well prepared for a 2,200 mile trip down the Baja Peninsula and back.



If you are serious, I will put you in touch with the person who has to cancel and you can negotiate with them on reimbursement of their prepaid hotels. We have a group teleconference this Sunday at 5:00 pm Denver time if you can join. We’ve got a great group and only want people to join who want to have fun, experience a great adventure and meet new friends. If you decide this is for you, I think you’ll find we’ve got a very detailed plan and haven’t left a lot to chance – but it’s Baja – you have to able to deal with ambiguity.





Hit me up on email ASAP if this Adventure is for you. Scott

I think the chance of seeing this many EB’s making a trip like this again is pretty slim. I agree - it’s a rare opportunity to be part of something that I feel will be very special.

I would go if,
1. I had a running Bronco
2. Could take off the time from work
3. I had a running Bronco
4. I could get out of parenting teenagers
5. I had a trail worthy Bronco

Bump this back to top.

Is there any chance this trip will happen again next year. You can count me in next year, just too short of notice to make it happen this year.

I would say there is a good chance it will happen again, but I'll be able to answer that question better at the end of May! ;D

Life is short! Trips like this don’t come up very often.
You're exactly right. I've been to Baja racing quite a few times, but I've never been as excited as I am for this trip. Just being part of a group of 50 yr+ old Broncos doing this is really pretty amazing. Broncos and Baja just go together!

That sounds like 3 "I'm IN's" if we do it again next year! ;D

Give my best to the person cancelling I hope he and / or she gets better and can make it next time.
Thanks much -- that's nice.

YES, in!!!^^^^ ALSO let the cancelling party know we are pulling for them to get well
Jump on this year's trip -- I'm going to have to start trying to cancel rooms to get some of their money back next week, and I HATE to do that when I know there is someone out there really needs to make the trip with us!
