Hopefully by April it will be passable, we'll be down to give it a try. We did it last April and it was in good shape but I guess the rains sometimes
are too much.

I have a couple of guys on smaller bikes coming down and we were going to go out there next week. But if it was that torn up that recently I think it
would be the better part of valor and sanity to give it a pass with a large group.
The three of us will probably head over to San Isidro, Comundu and maybe to San Javier to be sure there aren't any giant washouts. I suspect that with
a loop back through Loreto we can do in in one day.
I had a great time last year. Not so sure about sleeping on the ground even in my tent but one night without a shower won't kill me. I think.

P-shaw!
I think with a big group it could be a fun project . . . bring shovels! Guajademi Canyon is one if the great underrated Baja destinations. Has anyone
checked out all the caves up there? I know some have paintings.
We short-camped at the first switchback of a pretty good road that climbs out of the canyon about halfway through. Awesome views hiking up the road
which was blocked by a boulder that a few strong people could move out of the way. The road goes up and over onto a level area with some ranches and a
nice camping area at the pass.
We slept under the starts that night, but I couldn't go to sleep until I got this guy out of my mind . . . right near camp!

Little friends like that are one of the reasons I still carry a one man tent. Not snugly enough for me! And there are more than a few rattlers around
though the nights are cool enough this time of the year to keep them from wandering about too much.

Is there anything around there to hang a hammock from? May be a good idea to get off the ground.

Unless you could figure out a way to glue a rope to a rock. We are sort of low on what you would call a tree around here.

Adding to the adventure, will be a local, Lopez Mateos, off road race Sunday Feb. 5th, which may influence our return route. It could come thru
Comondu, which would be fun to watch. The course map will be published "in a couple of days". Stay tuned.
Hammock is a great idea, string it between two cars.
Shari posted quite a few pics of Comundo , here

Given that this is a Pure trip, with no alchohol allowed...You might request permission from Reverend Airstream to have a Bottle of MEDICINAL Tequila
in the stores should a venomous issue occur..jes sayin....

This is a family event, not an excuse to drink. There has never been much drinking on these trips, except around the campfire.

There is no rules on these outings, just having fun.
