Whooping It Up . . .


It's called a Cabalgata. A bunch of riders coming together, a pull up TKT wagon with music in tow. Today was a ride into San Javier for the 312th birthday celebration of the mission San Javier.

Yup. It is Don-Kay

Great photos. If you have more I would love to see them. We are hoping to visit San Javier some time this summer. I haven't been there since spring of 1979. I'm very anxious to visit again.

Paulina . . . you have my favorite signature on the board.

You will be surprised by the new road to San Javier. Power lines have changed the landscape some. Otherwise, pristine as ever. Stop by this summer!

Solo is with me, couldn't let her go, shes too special.
Donk is in Loreto being taken care of by a wonderful lady. He will soon be leaving for San Nicholas, to live on a ranch there.
Just got home, have to do the work thing ya know. Yuck.
I miss that Donk every minute of every day. I know how much he likes to walk and be around other animals (especially Burras) and people (especially kids) so I am happy to see him having fun.
Jeff (Bajacalifornian) now has the super power mule. One day we will ride off into the sunset together to return better men.
