People are talking about us

Ben Crockett, editor at large for 4WD Toyota Owners Magazine came with us on a trip a while back and wrote all about it.
Thank you Ben for the kind words. We are so glad you had a great trip and look forward to putting your Taco through the paces on our Pole Line Road / Baja 1000 spectating run in November.

Pole Line Road / Baja 1000 spectating run

November 15-19 2016

Pole Line Road / Baja 1000 spectating run

During WW2 the fear was the Japanese may invade the US through our southern border. The Army secretly constructed a telephone line from San Felipe to Ensenada in an effort to be able to call in trouble if any was seen.
The telephone line has long gone away but there are remnants of poles still in the ground and other signs of our presence years ago.
The Pole Line road is not for the stock rig. We recommend at least 33 inch tires and lockers to attend this event. There will be plenty of challenges along this trail. We will also be camping 1-2 nights as well.
Once we complete the Pole Line Road we will head West across the peninsula to the West coast and we will stay at Cuatro Casas.

We will also be spectating the Baja 1000 from one or two different spots. Because Racecars!

June trip report

Another Camp4lo Baja off road tour is in the books. We had a great group with a couple returning guests and a couple new friends. Mike, has been communicating with us for quite a while and the dates finally lined up and he traveled all the way from Oregon!
We met at the Tecate border Crossing Friday morning early and crossed into Tecate, met up with JC, had a few tacos just because and we were off.

A few miles from Tecate we came to the top of the Compadre Trail. A great run South with smooth dirt roads and twisty turns through the Chaparral up through the pine forest then dropping down into the Ojos Negros valley.

Oregon Mike's super sorted Land Cruiser

The first few miles of our adventure were smooth and trouble free. Just a great run through some great scenery.

Rolling into the start of the Compadre Trail

Not your typical Baja scene with all those pine trees!

After a short sstop in Ojos Negros we motored down the highway for a bit then went on a trail up to Mike's Sky Ranch for a refreshing beverage

Crossing the stream into Mike's Sky Ranch

Rigs taking a rest at Mike's while the happy campers cool off inside

After a short visit with our friends at the ranch we motored down yet a different trail back to Highway 3 and headed into San Felipe for the night. We had a great steak dinner and a few margaritas and a well deserved good nights rest.

Saturday morning after breakfast we headed West out of San Felipe and hit El Diablo dry lake. This is a part of the Baja races often and we really got to put the hammer down and go as fast as we wanted. We had so much fun we turned around and did the run twice.

Max and his Tundra clearly ate up the dry lake

Oregon Mike and the stoke

So free

We headed North to Valley De Trinidad for some tacos then traversing the peninsula West to the  Pacific side.

Super vistas and cooler temps greeted us along the way. 

Breathtaking

The next two nights we bunked at Cuatro Casas Hostel where Richard and staff took very good care of us. 

Sunday we headed up Punta Colonet to the beach for a little cruise along the water. 

Our guests really enjoyed driving along the beach.

Our last night we had a great dinner at Cuatro Casas and JC made his famous margaritas. We had a great night bench racing and laughing until the wee hours.

Monday morning we headed North and picked up a sction of the Baja 500 race course from Erendera to Santo Thomas where our dirt adventure came to a close.

We covered a lot of different terrain this time Desert to the sea via mountains. Great trip with some great new friends and returning ones as well.

Thank you for joining us on this adventure.

Our new friend Oregon Mike was awarded the Camp4lo VIP trophy for his 1000 mile journey just to get here. He had a great time and his super nice rig was an inspiration.

                                Super cool Mustang collection

                                Plenty of Roth stuff

                               Of course the favorite was the bronco!

Jerry can trash can

Tum Huber did a great job making a useless item into a useful one. He wrote it up for the guys over at overland kinja.
We thought this is a fantastic idea and the best part is it's great for almost any rig.

Adventure trailers

I have been a fan of trailers for quite some time and have been seeing more and more out on the trail.
Heck, I even have two friends building their own now. This must be a thing! The possibilities are endless too. Depending on you're budget of course. An added benefit to these is your little sweetie can be comfortable and when the lady is comfortable everybody is comfortable.
Here is a great article about a build from the guys over at  The Adventure Portal I found this the perfect trailer build for your first one. Go ahead get inspired, get out there and see the world.

Northern Baja Run report July 9-12 2015

We have been wanting to run a section between Mikes and Coyote Ranch for a while now and figured early July would be best, after the Baja 500 craziness and before the late Summer possibilities of hurricane rains.  We let everyone know we were going to be on a Pre Run the third day and we didn't know what to expect. We published this run without much advanced notice but that didn't seem to matter we filled up the roster with a great mix of rigs.  We met up Thursday morning at the usual place, Instant Mexico Auto Insurance, shook hands with our guests and I quickly realized this was a good group and my stoke level went to 11.

3 Toyota's and 3 Jeeps ready for the Northern Baja Run

We crossed the border and made our way to Ensenada stopping at a taco shop for lunch.

All fueled up on Carne Asada, Al Pastor, Pescado, and Camarones we headed straight to Santo Thomas. We started our off road journey heading West toward Erendira on part the Baja 500 race course.

Off roading the Baja coastline toward  Erendira.

We arrived at Coyote Cals late afternoon just in time for a few cold Pacificos. 

Friday morning greeted us with plenty of sunshine and near perfect temperatures.

We geared up and made our way through the sleepy little town and resumed our off road route on the Baja 500 course.

Here are a few images from Fridays leg....

No bad days in Baja!

Friday night we stayed in a nice hotel in Colonet had well deserved showers and a great meal.

Our guests were tired from the days activities. We all retired early in anticipation of the next days adventure. I was pretty excited about the new day and the trails we were going to run Saturday. I had not been on them in quite a few years. 

Saturday we awoke to fresh coffee and another great breakfast provided by our friendly staff.

We loaded up and motored North on the highway for a few miles and we turned East on the Calentura road toward Valle De Trinidad.

We Came up on a shortcut used in the Baja races but the racers are usually coming down this hill. We wheeled UP the trail. Fun little excursion,

Ben making it look easy in his super clean Taco

The last couple had to have a little help, the earlier rigs really dug it up. Loved seeing everyone jump in and work together.

Max earning his stripes. More on that later

After our little fun challenge we hit Valle De Tinidad for some Tacos then motored down Mex 3 for a few miles to the "good road" up to Mike's Sky Ranch. We enjoyed a little break and a cold drink.

After a few photo ops we saddled up for the last leg of our journey. This was the unknown and where the exploration began. We hit a super trail loaded with plenty of obstacles. We had to spot each other several times through this trail. We worked as a team and really had a blast. There really was nothing a stock rig couldn't handle with a little care and technique, we proved that.

We arrived at the Coyote Ranch late afternoon and enjoyed all they have to offer. Family style dining and a great campfire that night where we all sat around and reminisced about what we had just accomplished.

Sunday morning after a leisurely breakfast we headed out the mild 5 mile dirt road to the pavement and headed North to Ensenada for some souvenir shopping and a great final lunch.

   

                         We found a neat spot in the trees. If anyone wants to camp let us know!

                                                         Cabins at Coyote Ranch

And finally Max. our rookie who  truly embodied the spirit of Camp4lo. His can do it attitude and go for broke but calculated style earned him the coveted VIP trophy.

Thank you to our guests, you made this a great trip!
