Great choice of questions Tim. Excellent job answering them. You’re a real dude going through real stuff. You are not alone. Thanks to Bob for taking some of that off of you. Great guy. Hope to see you guys get off on another adventure. I’ve been following you for a while now. Sooo glad you’re doing good. Videos are great and I look forward to them. The bike looks awesome. Baja will be great. Keep up the good work.

I also suffer with anxiety and depression that is ever-present. Your videos, starting several years back, have been an inspiration to me to explore on the road and this helps me get out of my “funk” which is really hard to do. The recent loss of my mom (and a year ago, my dad) was quite a blow this year. Obligations to deal with her estate have kept me home this season and I feel the spiral of emotions bringing me down hard. I look forward to following your future adventures. It gets me thinking “forward”. You probably know what I mean. You are an inspiration on many levels. ✌️

If you do come to Europe some day, I'm currently navigating between Normandy (north-west of France) and the south of Spain (basically summer / winter...) and will most likely keep doing that for years to come, I'll be happy to show you around either one. On the road though, my big Windsplitter (a Yamaha Royal Star from 2000) isn't really happy on dirt 😉

Thank you so much for being brave enough to share your mental struggles with the world. Personally I struggle with depression and some people don't get it that you just can't flip a switch and change what your brain is doing. The thoughts pop out of nowhere... Anyway, thanks! What is your best source for dispersed campsites? I want to do more of that and less KOA. KOA's app makes it so easy to just pop into one at the end of a hard day & I love their Basic Kabins. Plus the card carrying discounts are nice. But there's still more people and dogs, which I have an irrational fear of. So my goal is to get away from all that more. I too prefer an outhouse over the dig-n-hover method. Sorry for the 3am rambling comment, too hot to camp in southern Texas and can't sleep in this motel. Long comment for, what's the easiest way to find dispersed campsites.
@FTAAdventures

I can totally relate! So for finding dispersed camping I usually just use Google maps. It seems too obvious but I have found some really great camping areas with that. iOverlander is good too. Thanks for the comment, hope this helps. I'm still waiting for it to cool off in Phoenix so I can do some local camping. Hope the weather breaks soon for you.

I’ve been wanting to go to Baja solo for several years but my wife keeps telling me that it’s not a safe place, cartels and theft/robbery riding an expensive bike makes me a target and tourists in general. What’s your take Tim?

I’ve been to Baja several times and never had any issues. There really doesn’t seem to be much cartel activity in Baja. Just stay out of Tijuana if you can help it. I say go for it if you want to go, really nothing to fear.
