Good afternoon from just South of San Felipe, Mexico on the Baja. We are finally
feeling like this trip is getting started! We spent a couple of nights in
San Felipe... Just kind of getting our feet under us. Ben edited three videos in
about 30 hours..... Yeah?.... Yeah! We went grocery shopping and if you want to check out
what grocery shopping on the Baja is like... We did a video for his and hers
moments. And ahh... You know, our video from Barrow, where we went grocery shopping
just did so well.... And people really loved that! So we thought; Why not make this a
tradition? And when we go to a new country, we'll go grocery shopping and
take everybody with us! So head over to the his-and-hers moments channel to
check out that video, it'll be up soon! And.... Our friends, that we're traveling
with... Mark and Janelle. They have a Youtube channel as well! They're really
getting it started now. It is called; Blue moon explorers. So if you're enjoying
what we're doing and want to see more of it, go check out their channel because
they're going to be vlogging our trip as well! And you'll get to see a different
angle of it but we'll be in it too and so will they! They're a really awesome couple...
Totally laid-back, which is the kind of people we love to travel with and... I'm
thinking this is gonna be a fantastic road trip!
So.... We're on our way to port de casitas...We're hoping that is where we end up
this evening! We're getting a little bit of a late start today. But ahhh...
And we're a little unsure of what to anticipate. We have driven this stretch
of road before but.... Word on the street is that they've had some really bad
storms here this winter and.... It has wiped out some of these new freshly paved.....
Freshly done stretches of highway. So we're just really not sure what to
expect in terms of road conditions but we're really excited to get started! You
know, we've spent a lot of time in San Felipe. So we didn't really feel the need
to spend much time there. We wanted to get headed south and get this party started!
This is an amazing drive!.The five is always rough but it is gorgeous... How's it going
guys? How do you like this drive?.. Not bad....Yeah. Exactly!
We're gonna find out what kind of fuel mileage you get when you keep the below 40
This is the first time we've turned the left here in port de casitas...Yeah...
Look at all the flood damage right there...Oh my goodness! wow!.... Must have been one heck of a storm!
Obviously, it's... It was! Because everything is green and blooming...Yeah!
Well, good morning guys from the village of port de casitas.... These are our
campsites here. Really windy last night but it's... died down nicely here! So... Mark
and Janelle are next to us. This is the campground right in the center of the
village. Not the best campground around... You know, Baja has a lot better to offer!
That's for sure! But... The location is great and we're not here for the
campground!...This is why we came here... We have been wanting to come here for years but it just never worked
out!..... First impressions are very good! This is a tidal dependent hot spring ahh so.... The
idea is as the tide moves in and out you can dial in the right temperature for
you're soaking experience!.... I gotta check this out!... Oh... Definitely smell the sulphur!
Here we go! Oh... This is really nice!..I think one can get used to starting mornings out like this! Everybody feels better after soaking in hot springs...
Okay! Now it's time to get back on the road!
Well, good afternoon guys from Papa Fernandez campground here in the Gonzaga
Bay Area....Ahh... $7.00 per night or 135 pesos.... But this is an amazing little location
here! Some guys doing some shore fishing.... What do you think?... This will do!
This will do? That's it?...Yeah... What does Shelby think?... She's good! She's sitting in my lap
because there's a doggie that keeps wandering around but she was down
smelling and happy! Okay well, the audio is gonna be a little
better on this side of that dune. Ahhh... What did you think of the drive today? It's
pretty devastating seeing that ahh... Stretch of road like that. I know the second half
of the road in today's video was ahh... Very, very new and just recently, like all
those bridges... It's just very sad. The infrastructure of a good road system is
pretty crucial to a country.... So we're gonna call it a night here from Gonzaga
Bay. Thanks for riding along with us, our little campground here is starting to
fill up as the day goes on... Make sure you hit that SUBSCRIBE button because tomorrow
we're gonna take the stretch of the 5 that leads over to the 1.So... Up and
over I guess kinda you got the spine of Baja! So thanks for riding along with
us.We'll see you later!
