History: JustAdventureTravel.net started December 2004 while my wife Heidi and I were preparing for a 9-month jeep tour of Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. The website started with a focus on independent adventure travel, the planning, the execution and the lifestyle, from start to finish, the good and bad. This website continues on in that same spirit today.

Enjoy: If you have some time, please check us out now and then and browse around. We will try to create a site rich with content and photos so you can learn more about and enjoy the type of independent adventure travel we promote.

Baja 2016 - The Ultimate Road Trip

One Dog, Two people and Four Wheels
A wild 6-month ride wheeling through Mexico’s Baja Peninsula, Heidi, Tom and Sam here we go…

After Loreto there its a long Baja cruise before the next city with a 'possible' dog friendly hotel, there are two cities Ciudad Insurgentes and Ciudad Constitución. Ciudad Insurgentes is smaller but big enough, confident someone will take Sam there. We push on knowing we can come back if needed. Ciudad Constitución.

We drove around town for hours looking for the places we had bookmarked. One place is down a long dirt road, seldom used and is an RV park. The pool is not like the photo. We never found any the other places even after driving everywhere for an hour. I asked at one place back at the start of the city, the clerk tells me "no dogs" but recommended a place back on the main highway.

Score, thirty-two dollars a night, I have a nice place to work with my computer (this is a workign trip for me), Heidi has cable TV and this is a real Mexican town ready to explore, just what we like. We know the town already after al the looking. We saw this first when we first entered town. Heidi said "its not on the dog friendly list" I argue these "dog friendly hotel" web sites are new and not all inclusive. I say "in Mexico almost all small hotels will take Sam, he’s so good!" Although I agree, knowing of a hotel that takes dogs ahead of time is a good feeling after traveling all day long.

This is deluxe Mexican street food, this place is a buzz of activity every night and has perfect Baja Tacos with all the fixing’s.

We meet some off-road bikers doing their first ride in Mexico. These guys were super stoked, they got lost yesterday doing some remote back canyons and were put up overnight by a rancher and his family. The rancher showed them the way out of the canyon the next day using his horse. How cool is that!

We hit the road early today heading for La Paz, 8:30 Am. Apparently this is still early for a "desayunos" restaurant in Baja, the town is deserted almost.

You cannot travel a day in Mexico without seeing several beautiful and well maintained religious items. Most are a roadside memorial to a loved one who died at that precise spot but often we see random art like this.

Again the desert changes as we ride south.

Heidi found an interesting bungalow on the outskirts of La Paz a block from the Sea of Cortez.

We have our own place, the price is right and its perfect for Sam.

I guess I can handle this…

Sam is comfortable.

It’s a block to the beach and no need for Sam to be on a leach, perfect.

Sam meets the locals right away.

This wildlife area went on forever it seemed.

While I was getting over some illness of the ‘bad water’ sort, Heidi and Sam were out explored the area.

This is the BAJA.

Tomorrow we shoot for Los Barriles, the windsurfing capital of Mexico and to a house we rented for three months, two blocks from the beach. We will see…

Stay tuned for more fun in Mexico’s Baja Peninsula…
