    Some of us live in the dirt.

    But we love it

    A place where us dirt daddy Tacoma owners (and ladies) call home. The rough country.

    The desert!

    My Tacoma is 'one with the desert'!
    Its 4WD system is primarily used in Baja California, Mexico. But, it has been used in the Anza-Borrego desert in the east part of San Diego County, too. It might be seen in a desert place on the front and back covers of a new book coming this March, too! First two photos were when the truck was pretty new, in 2010. The book cover photos were taken in 2017 during my mapping expeditions in Baja.

    Near Mission Santa María


    On the beach, south of San Felipe

    First photo is El Pilón, near La Purísima, Baja California Sur.
    The next two are from the road to Mission San Borja, Baja California. Cirio ('boojum' trees) and cardón are the two largest/ tallest cactus species on the peninsula.

    Thanks!

    Thanks! Always love reading of your Baja travels. Fancier cameras can of course give one more creative options, but they aren't at all necessary. This one is from my old iPhone SE and doesn't suck too badly (apologies, no truck in this one):
