    Glad you two made it to Baja California, it has incredible natural beauty! You mentioned about crossing into Baja via Tecate being only for small to medium sized RV's. Maybe somebody told you this but its not true at all. Going in its easy with any sized rig. Coming BACK into the US I'd say the Max length rig would be maybe a 40 footer, you have to stay to the farthest left lane to go through the border booth. We go back and forth with our 37 foot 5th wheel no problem! Its much better than the crazy busy San Ysidro crossing! Also for when you come back on your way north if you stop in Ensenada again, you can get some limited Trader Joe products at the two Mercado El Roble supermarkets (they have facebook pages) and also La Milpa which is a great little natural/organic food market downtown. Have fun in your travels!! Oh yes if you go back to Valle de Guadalupe you must check out Deckmans at El Morgor, a fantastic dining experience all cooked over a wood fire!

    The lift kit and shocks was $$$$ well spent. The side angle you could've gone though even worse. I have colleagues who do the same thing with their rides but never off road or travel, they just want to look like rough outdoorsy people.

    On laundry detergent, I switched to the detergent sheets - no more big heavy jug that takes up a lot of room. Your provisioning reminds me of us preparing to sail our boat down Baja and all of the food items we would buy in the US. And the border crossings... we left our boat(s) in Mexico and would return to the US, then go back to the boat with a truck full of gear, food etc - always nervous crossing. UGH! Funny - we still call speed bumps "topes"!

    • @EatSeeRV

    Watching this video made me reply to this comment because people will get the wrong idea about the road conditions in Valle de Guadalupe.This season broke all rainfall records for the last 7 years. Of course, being mostly dirt roads, it will get flooded and muddy, but overall, most roads, even the one that go to the RV Park and Doña Esthela, are in pretty good shape throughout the year.

      I get it. People "warn" us in the same way. Join FB groups for RVing in Baja + Mexico and stay up to date on what they share. Be aware of dangerous areas and move through border towns quickly. We haven't had any issues and feel safe here, but we won't say things don't happen. I definitely think it's not as bad as the fear people spread. We choose to only listen to advice and recommendations from people actively traveling there, not people who heard something from someone or things that happened years ago. Safe travels!

    how well did you guys remember your Spanish? thats the biggest thing I worry about when I will go out of the country for around a month in April-May is forgetting my Spanish. and its been much longer than that for you guys. regarding the FMM, not sure if you know this but Mexico has now phased it out for air travelers that arrive at the major airports such as Cancun, Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta and a few others. I think the plan is to completely phase them out including border crossings. instead they are now stamping right in your passport with the number of days granted. anyways, something to be aware of for the future.
