My "Element C" pop-up down in Baja

**Ursa Minor** · 03-29-2007, 05:28 PM

EOC Amigos - Just back from Baja supporting an adventure race this week, finished wrenching a little modification on my E just in time for this one. Spent a super long extended weekend tearing around off road, moving our camp from one checkpoint to another. Thought the EOC might enjoy a few pics!

If you haven't been down that way, Baja is a great place to explore - remote beaches, empty deserts, you can see every star at night and there's still plenty of places to paddle/hike/bike or get lost. The E took it all in stride, excepting some minor "Baja pinstripes" from brush & cactus. (maybe those will polish out) This is all in an area about 2 hours from San Diego, a little south of Ensenada.

The new bits fit pretty well - so can someone cross my name off the "waiting for the new VW Westfalia" list, 'cause I'm happy now.

ok, better get back to catching up from those days out of the shop...

cheers
John

It's been a long time since I've been to Baja, but these pictures want to make go again!

And your E is amazing. A true one of a kind!

Awe Ensenada brings back some great old memories... now if I could just remember that beautiful beach godesses name??? (LOL) :rolleyes:

Thanks for telling me about your POP-UP and the photos. Do you crawl through the rear sunroof to get up there? If you have another post telling more about it, please post it here (I'll also check you prior post listings...)

Very nice setup. Hope to learn more about it. Cheers, Lee
