This just in from "udspell" in Cabo Pulmo... he left San Diego on Dec 19th.
----------
Doug, A quickie in case anyone needs info.
Ride from SD to CP took 2.5 days. Nothing unusual. The military ck points are great. They are checking all things going north,,,,some ck pts stop
southbound. Only two wanted any info. There are about 5 on Mex 1.. Pemex's open and manned....or womaned by very nice people. Saw no accidents
this trip. Roads are still a nightmare, but all but a few miles periodically maintained quite well.
Weather has been cool.....70 and lower mostly. Wind has prevented any boats, or my kayak, from hitting the water. We're on our way to Los Frailes
for the day. Hope to wet a line from shore. The wind is down, but still an issue, somewhat.
Hope all is great with Michelle and the boys. Have a Merry Christmas

Doug, hope your pal knows there is no fishing allowed in the Marine Park which begins ~ at Miramar (well before Cabo Pulmo) and ends (going south)
just about at the Los Frailes Resort.

One would hope that's why he's making the trek around the bend to Los Frailes.

Doug - please ask him to take a look at los Frailes airstrip and at El Rincon's too, he's very close to both. maybe he has internet and sees this??

Hi Doug, Trip was fine with the exception of having my laptop and backup hard drive stolen by one or more of the nicely behaving Feds at one of the
four checkpoints on the way back. Both pieces were in completely different places in the van. I was on the driver's side, my lady on passenger side.
We were stupid to not monitor every person, every move, every time. They let me keep my cameras, tho.
After 5 drives to the tip beginning in 1975, spending about 20 months total in Mexico,,,,,,I will not be returning. Things have changed, not for the
better, since then. Still trash, dangerous roads, broken autos, more and more "descansos", and now the mainland type of behavior and crime. I'll
leave it to you and your folks on a great website. I'm f...............done!
And FYI......EVERYONE knows that there is no fishing in Cabo Pulmo. It is made very clear in numerous ways. I fished there in the olden days when it
was not a sanctuary. Most of Frailes is open. Tell the lols that I do appreciate their help. Did not see any landing strip.
Another FYI.....SD, Cabo Pulmo, tip, Todos Santos, La Paz, SD........2300 miles.

That road coming from La Ribera to Cabo Pulmo is crazy with the washboard!!!! That is not a road to be traveling down with a truck that has stiff
suspension! I think I may have lost a kidney!!

Too bad. Baja lost another good one. One at a time. It's like losing hair, one at a time. Pretty soon, you don't have any.
