MICK - A gentleman named David Keir from a Baja forum would like to use it. Says his Toyota came from the factory with 8-track or something like that.

I would like to join you and your team, for the Pole Line Road Run, and might join David on his search effort as well.
Need to buy some new KO's for my truck, otherwise it should be ready.

Will see you at the Pep Boys in Calexico

Mercedes 4X4? We met at a Discover Baja event, yes?

No the PLR goes away from Trinidad toward the east. Where Ken starts the PLR run is at the bottom of the summit. Over the summit one road comes out to Hwy 3 at KM108 which is west of Trinidad by about 14 KM.

On DKs map above with the blue line the summit is where it says Jamau. Trinidad is in the lower left where it says Card##as.

Thanks, I thought we were running East to West. Doesn't matter to me either way. Looking forward to the trip.

As before I think Ken is going south via Laguna Salada and Cohabuzo Jcn. to the bottom of the Summit grade... then east. Since his run ends at or 4 miles west of Arroyo Grande, doing the Lost Diaz Grave search after works perfect to do both.

Definitely west to east. Driving up the bad hill would be too steep for my short wheelbase.

Bad hill? For a Jeep, bad? What hill is that, Basketball Hill?

I love bad hills...
