About this episode
Larry Evans shares his nostalgic experiences of traveling to Baja during his childhood in the 1960s and 1970s.
Larry Evans spent his childhood traveling to Baja with his family in the 1960s and 1970s. Evans credits his mother as the instigator in getting the family to Baja. Evans called his mother a pioneer; I would call her an influencer. She would host parties where she would show slides of their family adventures. Encouraged by the images, some of their neighbors eventually bought 4x4s and joined them in Baja too. Enjoy this heart-warming conversation about idyllic boyhood adventures in the early days of Baja before the highway was paved.
