I've got an 88 short wheel base Toyota 4x4 truck with a locker in the rear and a wooden stock rack. It hauls the burro just fine.
I was just jokeing about bringing him though. He is an unneutered Jack that can only think about two things. Eating is one of them.
He has been had raised and as a pet. The hardest work he has ever done is to stand on the malecon in San Felipe and let people take pictures of him.
If I took him on this trip I would end up with him on my back instead of the other way around.

Lera,
I'm sure about Fullerton. Allain Schooner is the name I gave (without his knowledge) to Prof. Alan Schoeneer (retired) who has kicked around Baja but
did a lot of work on pupfish. For real! He and his sidekick, Allan Romspert (retired Coordinator of the Desert Studies Center, Zzyzx), are fun to
travel with. Romspert named a cactus after me when I drove too fast on one trip while he was lecturing over the CB; "...and we just passed a, uh, blur
topped cactus, Opuntia Nealii Nealii".
My motto:
Never let a Dragon pass by without pulling its tail!

Can't help but wonder if that is the same Alan Schoeneer that taught for years at Fullerton College and was a zoologist, PhD??? I think that was the
spelling of his name. Was a good friend of mine.

Stick Lizards
Neal, are you really as old as your avatar makes you look?
I had a heck of a time figureing out what you were talking about. It took a long time for your drawing to download.
Here in San Felipe we call them by their Mexican name, Cachoros Palo punto.
These critters are highly trainable and can be taught to opperate small hand tools.
A zard is simply any trained group that works togeather, from two on up.
Incidentaly I have a matched set of cachoro hounds. Togeather they are able to keep any wild lizard rounded up under a bush for at least five minutes.
The first rescearch on these animals was done on a related family of Pacific salamanders. It was in a 1936 book called "War With The Newts"
The author, Karl Capek, was a Chech travel and science fiction writer. He also coined the word "Robot"
The story tells of how a kindly sea captian finds a species of highly trainable salamander. He hauls them all over the Pacific and teaches them to
gather pearls. Perhaps he landed at La Paz once.
Anyway the newts end up taking over the world and humans become their slaves.
"War With The Newts" is a classic work of science fiction and Capek was one of the first science fiction writers to explore the social side of where
technology was takeing us.

Burro Bob, I'm 73 and counting!
That's not an avatar, that's a photo!
How old are you, kid?
