During a skiing trip in Maine, Max suggested to his five amigos that they take their Land Rovers and go to Baja. Initially, it was just a passing comment, but they started planning the trip earnestly as the weekend progressed. Dan, who had been to Baja once before, arranged to ship the three trucks to San Diego. They knew they wanted to camp as much as possible; other than that, they wanted to drive dirt roads, fish, and stay at the famed Mike's Sky Ranch. Bix, Zeke, Baer, Dan, Max, and Jeff had a made-to-order week filled with tacos, Tecates, and tranquilo. It was a made-to-order trip to Slow Baja, changing their lives forever.
