desertcpl...this trip MAY actually turn into a re-supply/physical assessment of Coco...a group called "Disabled Explorers", led by Lance ( over at
AZFJ.org) is working to get Coco some urgently needed patient training, physical assessment and is working diligently with a US prosthetic vendor on
getting limbs done...
not rulling out kayaking, fishing and camping...just adding another dimension to the expedition
details to follow

Gonzaga trip
I'm in the process of getting 3 buddies to go down to Gonzaga around the time of your trip. The last time I was there was around 1972. If it comes
together perhaps we could meet enroute between Mexicali and Puertocitos. We plan on a little shore fishing and maybe renting a panga. Do they rent
kayaks in Gonzaga?
We're all retired more or less and enjoy fishing, ATV trail riding and I'm renewing my love affair with Baja.

No. Right now I'm living in Victorville, Ca.
I\'ve been told I\'m preoccupied with Baja. They just don\"t understand, in fact neither do I.

...a group called "Disabled Explorers", led by Lance ( over at AZFJ.org) is working to get Coco some urgently needed patient training, physical
assessment and is working diligently with a US prosthetic vendor on getting limbs done...
Coco has an adherent scar on his left residual limb which precludes him from using a prosthesis on that side. We are trying to arrange for him a
revision surgery with Dr. Alejandro Aguirre-Chavez who is with the La Balandra Rotarians in La Paz.

What a small world.
Going to be hot that time of year. I usually try to stay on the pacific side during summer.
