Listening to the archived show now.

Just heard the part about the parade given for him in Lopes Mateos. I remember the negative comments about it in this post, and wish the negative posters could hear Mike's tale of that day, and the folks involved. The kids there had made a great learning experience of Mike's trip. Great story!

Here's the link to the San Diego Union Trib story on Mike that appeared on Friday April 22. It's a slightly expanded version of the one that appeared in print on page one of the B section.

Welcome home, amigo!

No one knows more than you, Mike, how long and dusty the trail has been.

You've followed your heart back home.

I was in this area when mike was there and hoping I'd come across his party. Didn't, but was looking. Old news. Forgive me.
