Desert Boots: Walking Through Baja California - Justin DeShields

Mexico’s Baja California is a dry desert surrounded by water. It may seem ironic that, in the presence of so much water, National Geographic explorer Justin DeShields had to carry up to fifteen pounds of water in order to survive his 1,000 mile expedition. DeShields walked, paddleboarded and, occasionally, surfed his way down the remote Mexican coast in search of a connection to California’s American urban sprawl that he grew up with.
