You're going to fall in love with Baja... its a beautiful, rugged place. Have fun & take plenty of gas!
We are excited for sure! I am taking a 4 gallon Rotopax can, and it looks like we will/should be ok for gas down there.... As long as the gents with the gas cans will be there.

Don't plan on being able to get gas at all the gas stations along the way. 😉 There is a gas station near Gonzaga Bay that's usually a 50/50 chance they'll have fuel, from my experience.
I hope you take tons of pics and video, then post a detailed report on here. SxS's would be such a great way to travel down there.
Are you going with a guide or tour group? Hopefully you have plenty of time to stop, explore and enjoy the areas you'll be traveling thru.
Have you gotten a Baja Atlas? Very recommended.

The only thing I am worried about is gas honestly. I am hoping with all of us we will be able to make it work.
We will definitely be taking lots of pictures, and I am hoping video as well. First time experiencing Baja, so it will be fun. We are going with Roy Jenkins (He owns Ryco Motorsports) and has been doing smallish tours for many years. He does them on the SXS's, then the week after takes a group of dirt bikes.
I don't have an atlas, but I will look into that for sure!
Make sure you go to the new Coco's, the old one is a ghost town
Noted! I think Roy would know this, but I will mention it to him as well. He has been down there for years.

I hate that. My dad and I drove to Laguna Seca for the Indy race in 2019 and the 5 between Sacramento and Santa Nella put murder in my heart.
Thank god I'm flying into Monterey for Pebble Beach this year. 🥂

I've been going to LA so often for the past two years that I've found completely different route through Nevada. It's literally 100 miles longer, but I get there faster and with FAR less stress.

Please share your route! I have a son in San Bernardino and one of us makes this trip at least once a year. Vegas itself is usually the worst traffic! Coincidentally, my son is a maintenance tech for a Walmart DC - I think in Chino.

Wendover>Ely>Tonopah>Amargosa Valley> Baker, CA.
You can also go from Tonopah to Bishop, CA and it's about the same distance, but way more stop lights and traffic.
It's probably a little further for you guys because I start in Grantsville, but you can do 85 across The Salt Flats, where I'm stuck at 65. Between Ely and Tonopah is where I most often see shooting stars and low flying military planes. It could also snow like hell, but I'm the only one out there, so I just roll down the window and listen to it crunch under my tires. Slept some of the best sleeps of my life out there.

Watch out for Ostrich south of Amorgosa valley. I almost hit one once. 😂

Not necessarily chemical. Those are the guys who are super aggressive and right on top of another truckers tail. If there's snow on the road, it keeps me wide awake. It's something interesting and different.

Oh this is like that fancy cylinder deactivation the new cars have, huh?

In California it's definitely beneficial to run at night. Sometimes I'll give up half a day to shift my hours so I can run at night. The traffic is SO much lighter that it makes a massive difference. I used to be pretty good at getting up around 1:30-2:00 am and starting my day. As I get older, it's way more difficult. Some guys just make it their life.
Managing your stress is a big part of being successful at the job.

The scenery at your job looks difficult to deal with. Hope you can cope. 😂
