GREAT... thank you Chuck for producing the nice video (and with music that doesn't make your ears bleed)! Lot's of good footage of Basketball Hill
shows that this 73 year old road is no walk in the park!
Thanks so much for the kind words. Really enjoyed this adventure. When Joni makes a trip with me we are able to get a little more footage. Harder for
me to manage all the stuff when I'm alone
When Baja Angel came home last night, we watched it on the big screen TV (Blu-Ray player connects to You Tube)... just type in PLR2015 and the video
(Ken's Jeep) appears!
She really wished she could have gone... it reminded her of Jeepin' on the Rubicon trail near Tahoe (where she went to high school). All day in low
range 4WD... slow and sure!
Thank You Sheri/David too much to enjoy. Since looking at all the rocks,and feeling them raking under the truck.I just had full skid plates made,From
the front diff all the way to rear diff.

Sounds like a plan... I too (being non-lifted & stock suspension) had some scrapes below... Thankfully, Toyota does not have anything exposed down
there that would kill the truck!
I saw you chatting with a mutual friend, Whistler over on the Nissan Frontier forum... He has been a good friend I met back in 2000... I read he
stopped posting here because of the ... 'them' ... Too bad that the 'anti-Nomads' are allowed to chase off good guys like Glenn (Whistler). I hope he
changes his mind and returns to Nomad!!

That's the truth... the player haters or anti-Nomads (as I call them) will quickly criticize a trip report... but you never or almost never see a trip
report from them. They also will not reveal themselves here with a photo of themselves. I am real, I don't hide, I like to make friends, and I like to
help people...
The founder of this forum (Doug) is a good friend I have known for 15 years. I was the first from the old Amigos de Baja site to join his new Nomad
forums in 2002. When Amigos de Baja went off line without warning in 2003, I contacted everyone I could to let them know we were welcome on Doug's
site.
Posting photos and maps and history and having get-togethers are all things Doug likes that I do or have done here, and it has helped grow Nomad as
THE place to get Baja information. I also understand that there are new people here daily, and some of the anti-Nomads really get worked up if I cater
to the newbies with some stuff that has been posted here in the past... as if my repeating things takes away their time here, lol! Just scroll past
stuff if you have seen it and don't want to. The newbies appreciate the info... and so does the host of this site, and that is good enough for me.
Others like those of us on the Pole Line Trail trip are also open and friendly and helpful... I see it every time I am on a group trip in Baja. We all
help each other. See our Nomad Mission Santa Maria trip of 2010. Neal Johns broke down... we got him out (and to Baja Cactus, El Rosario, where
Antonio went into action), it was a great trip with great memories and new friendships made: http://vivabaja.com/msm2010/
