How far are you willing to drive? You could drive all the way to Cabo and you might still feel some winter. There's a little town between Cabo and La Paz on the Sea of Cortez - called Los Barriles. It's a great town with great beaches, many restaurants and a nice grocery store. There's not a single US franchise there. It's all Mexican. In the winter half the population are Gringos. It's safe. A friend of mine has driven down there over 20 times and hasn't had any trouble. I think Baja is safer than mainland MX.

I would definitely be interested in a trip into Mexico with fellow GD owners.

That sounds like a fun trip. We might be set up to go in a couple of years. Dallas I would agree with you. The average citizen no matter what country they live in just wants to enjoy life and make a few bucks.

Just reviving this thread in case anyone is interested....we’ve traveled the Baja peninsula five times to enjoy ocean-side boondocking for the winter. If anyone has questions or wants tips/info on Baja, I’m happy to share about this magical part of the world.

We’re keeping our fingers crossed all borders will be open by Nov/Dec as that’s when we usually head south (we’re in British Columbia). I’m not suggesting a caravan, just letting people know I can provide tips and suggestions if they’re interested in a trip to Baja.
I understand it’s very intimidating to consider camping/driving in Mexico, especially for anyone who has never traveled outside the US or Canada and hears all the media horror stories. But for those that like boondocking and the ocean, there’s no place in this world like it. The southern tip of Baja is the perfect combination of nature, weather, beauty, affordability, food, culture and a great expat community.
Highly recommend the book by Mike and Terry Church “Traveler's Guide to Camping Mexico's Baja”, or check out their website rollinghomes.com. Note I’m not affiliated with them in any way...just a lover of Baja.

Oops...Just went on rollinghomes.com and see how woefully out of date their site is
