I think he's on the road, as we say. I'm having breakfast with him tomorrow (Mon) and will try to point him over that way.

Is Ken now down to two Jeeps on this trip? He should forget LA Bay and come on up to El Volcan to be with us for a sing along around the campfire, I
know Blue Moon (my version).

Total of 3 - Ken and two others.
Hard to get him to change to a unknown.

wash crawling over rocks. |
Sorry, TW - but we couldn't make it. On Thursday afternoon - roughly 3/4 of the way towards the Mission (Santa Maria de Los Angeles), one of the
Jeeps developed a fuel pump problem and we had to turn back.
The remaining two Jeeps had to pull the Sahara Jeep back out of the trail - up the Widowmaker, and to level ground. From there, it took fast work to
get this Jeep back to El Rosario before nightfall.
By the time Leidys and I had reached El Rosario, we had traveled 13 hours total - from BOLA to El Rosario with a side trip to the swamp outside of
Mission Santa Maria. Everyone was exhausted - I couldn't see setting up camp in the backcountry after sweating through a tough day on the trail and
wanting to seek accomodations for the night.
On a lighter note, I spotted David K and Baja Cat in Colonet at 1 p.m. on Hwy 1 as they led 20 motocross racers towards El Rosario. I believe they
saw my Jeep, since I drove head-on into David K's lane causing him to swerve due to a roadkill dog that I tried to avoid in my lane!
I wish that I could have made the trip, but we rock crawled for 7 straight hours, and with my Jeep's bad Water Pump, I knew it would be a bad idea to
seek more adventure.
