In 1991 after I purchased a Toyota Camry for the wife and a chevy truck for me, a friend complained about it being a foreign car. That I should have
bought American. I asked him which vehicle he was complaining about the chevy built in Canada or the Toyota built in Kentucky. H edidn't have a good
answer other than something about corporations. Now I have all foreign vehicles. 91 chevy PU, 93 Toyota PU, 98 Acura and 04 GMC Z71 also from Canada.

The final bits and pieces of information have now been posted to the Official Pole Line Link Page. No more information will be presented before now and the event. Please arrive early, get your shopping done at Pep
Boys, and be ready to leave at the scheduled time...

Isn't the Jeep Wrangler made in Canada?
That would make the California built Tacoma even more American, yes?

I believe you're right David. I think Fremont really is a lot more US of America than Canada.

Yes, but even more important is that I got my truck at Toyota of CARLSBAD (not Yokahama), that the salesman was an American (his family benefited),
the owner of the dealership is American. The mechanics (for maintenance, since it never breaks down) are Americans...
The labor unions brainwash the masses about buying American, since very little is really 100% American anymore.
I do choose to avoid buying communist made products (Vietnam, Red China)... North Korea and Cuba doesn't legally export to here.

The survivors are starting to trickle back.....
Who was left behind to die?
Who got lost?
Who got us found?
Who woke everyone up at 5:30?
Who kept trying to shampoo my wife?
Who swings like a monkey on a rope?
Only Ken Cooke knows.....
My motto:
Never let a Dragon pass by without pulling its tail!

Do I need to rescue the Jeepsters in my Toyota yet or wait till they start begging.
Just kidding. Can't wait to hear the story and have David plan a trip there WHEN IT'S WARM.

Sounds great, I really wanted to go but couldn't take off from the project I am on now... The Lost Diaz Grave is (maybe) in this area as well. Perhaps
a Nomad expedition during Spring Break?
Here is the area where the pole line road is located. This is an area that the AAA map shows nothing exists in! On the map, it is between Ejido Jamau
(just NE of Valle Trinidad) and La Ventana (on Hwy. 5).

With a little warm weather David, I'm ready. A buggy or Bronco II will allow me to see the sites worth seeing.

Well, any of you people who went on Baja Ken's trip going to tell us how it was? Did the Toyotas pull the Jeeps up Basketball Hill?
Update:
OK Ken emailed me the trip report, so here is the link to it (on a seperate thread here on Nomad...):
