Loving new camp site north of town at Campo Batequitos. Beautiful ocean breezes through the Coconut palm grove. Quiet and peaceful with the distant
wave sounds, song birds, quail, and wind rustleing the palm fronds.
Met with recommended friends of Bills today for Title, FM3 and Real Estate info. Great morning of info gathering. Meeting on wed to look at some
properties.
Surf head high, water 75+. Swell supposed to be building but maybe bad wind also.
Thats it.

unfinished business or pleasure with her.....she really wants to see you.

I think she wants a ride in the GSB Bronco.

10/15 update
Still in Todos Santos
Surf has been very fun at Cerritos
Weather has been beautiful
Staying with Bill at El Pozo Hondo for last few days.
Looked like we had a major drivetrain issue on the Bronco but has seemed to fix itself????
Still wandering around looking at property and probably wont find anything with just a few days left here.
Looked up Amir and Roxanne and got a great adjustment. He has a nice little office just before you leave town to the south. The hands of a healing
man.
Duke is having the time of his life and can hardly wait to get home and set his paws to the keyboard to tell all the Nomad poochies about his trip.
He is such a poser and has lots of great photos to share.
That`s all for now from southern Baja.

Will and Leslie ~
A pleasure to meet you and be part of your Baja adventure this time around. Our first face to face Nomads!! And really nice ones with a great story of
your trip so far. Hope you avoid buzzards on the way back.
Look forward to your future updates and report on your return north.

Hi everyone!!!!
So sad to report that we are now heading home. Stayed a night in one of Bills cabinas at El Pozo Hondo and then bolted for Cabo Pulmo just as the
surf came back up at Cerritos. Cabo Pulmo was fantastic!!! Camped right on the beach at Coral Los Frailes, snorkeled until we almost drowned coming
back in, bought yellowfin right off the pango for sashimi and dinner and made it all the way to Mulege the next morning in time for the pig roast at
the Hotel Serinidad. Les and duke are both sick today  Les with stomach issues
and Duke with an ear infection. No reflextion on Serenidad cause I would be sick before Les. Only traveled to San Ignacio springs for tonight and
another leg tomorrow. Bad wind today and a driving challenge. Glad for an easy and short trip. Next update will be from state side.

We're home safe. Fantastic trip all told.
Very difficult drive home. Worst Peninsula wide wind anyone can ever remember. Made it from San Ignacio to El Rosario by 3PM and quit. Did not want
to wrestle the Bronco and trailer any further. Brown outs on the hiway and just too dangerous. Stayed at Bajas best B&B for a very pleasant
dinner, nights sleep and breakfast. Ed totaled his truck near San Vincente in same conditions. He and other driver both OK. Side swiped each other
trying to stay on road through brown out. Lucky not head on.
Damage report after nearly a month of touring around Baja.
Windshield broken
* Front differential blown
* Transfer case blown
* most likely do to previous abuse
1 front shock reservoir blown
Trailer frame broken. Too hot into too many darn topes.
3 flat trailer tires
Misc items lost do to stupidity
And reason for list is to impress that none of this even remotely compares to just one friend, family or Nomad having lost their home in the fires.
Our hearts go out to any that have.
Final trip report and photos to follow at more appropriate time.
Love,
Will and Les
