Where is he, anyway?
We drove to La Paz and didn't see him on the road.

Checked out location on Google Maps. Jamie's crossing that desolate stretch between the dreamy coast south of Loreto and not-so-dreamy Insurgentes:

Jamie's Location
If anyone's still following Jamie and his run, here's his current location: that magical spot where Mexico 1 turns into the Malecon in La Paz.

I ran into him during Thanksgiving week in Jesus Maria. We got a chance to talk for a bit while he was getting ready to make his run for Guerrero
Negro. He was going to try and make it to La Paz and then hopefully bum a ride on a boat to the mainland. Seems like a very nice guy and the locals
were taking to him wherever he went. I realize what he is doing has its risks but I wish him the best and I hope he makes it. Not sure how he is
going to cope with the Darien Gap though??? Maybe boat time again?

When he hit San Lucas Cove I asked him about the response on the highway from truckers and the like. He indicated most of the negativity came from
the tourists and most of the truckers he talked to were pretty cool about what he was doing. I would guess that is pretty consistent with the "Grumpy
Old Men" diagnosis. Seems like the ones hollering the loudest are the ones who think that the road is a dangerous experience and that a guy with a
tricycle push vehicle is somehow endangering the whole Baja with his reckless behavior and yet he has made it to La Paz and no close calls or other
problems caused. Guess we do not need to rely on the Federales to worry about the safety of the highway, we take care of it on Nomads.

That was fast. Saw him Sunday afternoon sitting on the side of Mex-1 just north of Las
Positas (60 miles north of La Paz) having lunch in the shade of his push-cart.
Good for him.
Wish him well on his journey.

Ditto! The fact he made it this far without plowing down a horse or cow or heard of goats or pack of dogs or burros or stalled cars or trucks or road
construction crews or fresh washouts or debris in the road or going head-on into a semi is astronomically impossible.
I would be humbly grateful to have the opportunity to cross paths with Jamie over the many Baja1000 chasers who have put me at risk.
