Hell with this cold & rain!

Took Tiffany and the boys to the airport this morning.  They're headed off to Singapore, along with Tiffanys mother, for the holidays.  Having lived in the far east for a few years and really not into big cities with lots of people, I opted out. Instead, once I get the camper sorted/restocked and some truck maintenance done, I'll be heading south to meet up with some fellow overlanders prior to crossing the border the day after Xmas. Having gone solo on my trip down last year, I opted to alter my normal mode and hook up with a small group of like-minded travelers. Travelling solo in Baja, although not something I consider dangerous, was a little stressful at times.  Especially when off-road in some of the remote areas. Although I prefer solo travel, the added security afforded by travelling with others, will be welcomed. A major breakdown, injury or worse yet, an encounter with a few bad hombre's could certainly spoil one's day.  No question, Petey is a security guru, but he does have limits!     

I'm looking forward to another roam about south of the border. Once Baja is done with me, the plan is to work my east to Florida for a visit with family and maybe a detour to Key West. I should be on the road two months, maybe longer. Hopefully, some adventures, photo opportunities and interesting characters await while roaming about.  I also plan to do some gear reviews during the trip. The main one being a solar setup I recently purchased. The company owner, after seeing my blog, has requested a review once I've had a chance to use it. I also "plan" to provide a breakdown of trip expenses as I've received a few requests to do so.  Hopefully, I'll have the discipline to keep track of that stuff.  We'll see.

In the cold and rain tonite but that should change soon.  Some shots below from the trip last year. Stay tuned..........
