Southern California/ West Coast Team

[Triumphdog]

Hey guys/gals,

Is anyone interested in building a team or a few teams for the Maya Rally? Or caravanning for the Rally? I was thinking it might be a great way to team up with some locals, make some new friends, learn a bit more about yourself, and others who share a similar passion in Overlanding. Not to mention I think I'd feel a bit more comfortable going on a trip like this with others, rather than rolling solo. :sombrero:

Maybe we could have some team shirts made, a few stickers. Just throwing it out there.

If anyone is planning on crossing into Mexio at the Tijuana boarder crossing and is coming through San Diego. There is a really nice campground in Cardiff on the cliffs of the beach. http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=662 The San Elijo camprounds are really nice and only about 40 mins north of the boarder.

If I can go, big IF, then I would be interested. Wouldn't be able to leave up here until the 8th which would put me down in S CA the night of the 9th depending on weather.

I am going to be looking for a co-pilot but am waiting until the details of the event are posted before I look. I will also be focusing on one of two builds for the event, either my FJ60 Cruiser or a early 90s Subaru! :)

I am in Wyoming so I guess my "team" would be more of a Rocky Mountain thing. ;)

I'll be working the event and my plan is to head down Baja and take the ferry from LaPaz to the mainland and heading over to Guanajato. That's the route I'm recommending to you SoCal competitors :costumed-smiley-007

Yeah, that is the route I was considering? Any idea what the ferry cost is to Mazatlan?

Hey Triumph dog I'm up for a SoCal Team. I am planning a move to Belize this spring, but will most likely take my mog down for this event later this year. I have 3-4 others interested as well, we actually planned this about 7 months ago and went to Belize and scouted for 38 days. I have taken the ferry with my mog several years ago, the price changes on the spot very often and if you have a large vehicle you may have to wait several crossings. They like to play games to get more money. Anyway sounds like a great trip and we will have a front row seat for the apocalypse.

I'm still searching for a co-driver ( attractive single female with funding) but I am definitely in. Going as a group sounds good, this will be my first non-military border crossing :)

Yes. I have it under good authority that this may very well be the best multi-national event to date in North America...

... Can't say more - I've been sworn to secrecy! :cool:

Can't wait.

Cool! I like the website...hope there ends up being no cap on participants. The more the merrier IMHO.

[BigJimCruising]

Not really into the "rally" thing but would really enjoy an "end of the world, party like a Mayan" trip! Would be fun to leave a couple weeks ahead of time and see the country side before it and us are gone! lol

Right now it's just me so might have an open seat. Will see when it gets closer. Jim.

Agreed!

[Zam15]

I am seriously floating this in my mind right now... But it's too far out to say anything for sure. My participation will mainly depend on time off work and funding. :snorkel:

Took my first step and filled out my passport application, this would be my first international trip :luxhello:

[Vasir]

any update on this? Ive recently had some ideas floating in my head for backpacking through asia, but after seeing this, i might be up for it. Im in Sacramento, but also am from SoCal so meeting up anywhere wouldnt be a problem. Question is what vehicle to use.. my trusty 1997 s320 that ive had for years, my gas guzzling landcruiser, or pitch in with whoever i may be tagging along with.. Will be looking into this more!

I'm hoping to be part of the Alaskan crew heading down, we'll be crossing in socal I believe, would be nice to catch up with a few others heading down the Baja. Cheers and enjoy the end of the world!!

[Overland Nomads]

Hey all, I just registered and will be heading down to Oaxaca a week early to do some volunteer work. I'll be blasting through on the way down, but hope to take some time on the way back. I'm going to try to spend Christmas on the beach in Belize and then take a couple weeks to head back north, cross over on the ferry at Mazatlan and travel the length of Baja on the way back to CA. If anyone wants to caravan with me, just let me know.

[Triumphdog]

Sorry I've been MIA. I'm out for this rally. My wife is preggo and our son is due to arrive on Dec 27, after the world ends. Better late than never...um, unless the world ends!! Have a great time!!!

[kbeefy]

Congrats!

We are interested in meeting w/others to cross and travel. I had hoped to meet the Alaska crew in route but my work schedule keeps changing. Yesterday we were leaving 11/22 or 23 now we may not get out of Alaska until 11/28 or 29. If this schedule holds we'd be interested in following or trying to catch up w/anyone crossing around 12/9.

thanx
