Did I miss something? Who (or what!) is on the rack?

Beautiful photos mtnbus, I have followed your travles the past year or so good stuff. I did have one question though, why don't you run a rear bumper? Inquiring minds want to know.  |

I need to make brackets to fit due to rear IRS and bay style "mustache bar".
Hopefully soon.... |

Another great trip to Baja ! 2800 miles this time. Had a tire blow out (new tire) on a very desolate dirt road half way down the peninsula. Changed it out and found another spare along the way.
Endless adventure... |

I can feel the warmth and serenity.....of being down along Sea of Cortez south Felipe..chugging down a few mexican beers in a hammock under the shade of a palapa..with maybe a mexiican dog that adopts you and protects your campground.,...

Far out! How is the frame repair holding up. I'm sure the "Mexican roads" put it to the test.

Another wonderful trip to Baja Mexico !
Four day (long days) drive to my destination where I stayed for 10 days.
Met my new friend on the road. His water pump went out. My bus was the parts getter and we fixed it up on the side of the road.
Adventure !
