My family and I are heading to Baja for the winter and would love to caravan. It is our first trip to Baja and we are planning on leaving end of Dec or beginning of Jan, heading straight south and working our way back up slowly. We are currently in Galveston TX and are planning to be in Cali for Nov/Dec. Thanks Mark
