    Those commercial RV trips, 'careful'  people sign up, get in line
behind a Caravan Leader and do the Baja Trip as defined by the company
who's organized the Caravan.....Those groups are often troublesome.   When
encountered, they can cause frustration amongst all the other traffic on
the Baja 1 highway as everyone tries to get around multiple motorhomes.
If you should need fuel and your logistics demand you to share a station
with one of those caravans...it will take some time and they sometimes suck
up all the gas the station has.

  You may encounter irritated or impatient commercial traffic around or
interspersed with these RV Caravans...sometimes the locals drive pretty
agro..take chances that you might not expect..  Driving in Baja is
fun...but perhaps a bit more dangerous than in the United States...If you
go with an "Agenda" a time schedule, you should expect to deviate from it.
Don't be upset or expect things to be totally 'predictable'....it IS
different.
