So this trek would take place in January i would be very interested. Id love to join you guys and gals i can carry up to 50lbs im very well trained
in long distance running and hiking. id love to mark the trail for future hikes that would be my interest in this too. Helping to clear out brush for
60 miles sounds fun to me. Bajaboy "Zach" will attest to this im sure he would love to join us if hes not workn. just a thought, he to can carry up to
50lbs. lol~! Let me know when thanks!

This sounds like a really cool adventure! If the timing is right, I want in. I've climbed to the top of Baja, so why not hike across it? I've done a
lot of climbing and backpacking, but not so much long distance hiking (+20 miles a day). Also, I'm fairly familiar with that stretch of road from
Catavina to the Pacific. Let us know once you nail down some dates.

It is time to bring this thread back to life. As we have discussed on this board the objective is to hike from Gonzaga to the Pacific coast. I propose
the following itinerary which is open to criticism, debate, suggestions and changes.
Feb 2012:
2/18 Meet in Gonzaga, camp, Rancho Grande or Beluga?
2/19 Hike to Santa Maria,
2/20 Santa Maria to Catavina,
2/21 Catavina to the coast
2/22 Continue hike to coast
2/23-24 Camp at coast
2/25 Head home
We will need support vehicles to carry all the camping equipment, food and of course our drinks since we will need rendezvous each day after the hike.
Several Nomads have expressed an interest so for all interested in participating either as a hiker or support driver please post your intent.
Gracias
ECL

YES, with my help and support for the hike! However, it isn't looking very good. The wrong time of year and an already destroyed home improvement
industry thanks to ... well, let's no go there!

On my last trip up the peninsula I noticed this sign at the restaurant across the highway from the Cataviņa Desert Hotel. I won't know for sure until
after the new year if I can make it.

You're learning David, you're learing. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

Sounds like we've found our trail setters for a hash run!

This could be one of the greatest trips of the year next to the lost mission hike in April. I'm in as is my friend BJ. If I get my bro to join us all
the merrier.

I'm thinking I could bring my GMC Z71 down with the camper shell which would give us a lot of room for bags, ice chest etc. BJ was going to drive down
in his car to Rancho Santa Ines and leave his car there and ride to Gonzaga bay with me. Either my brother or I could drive to Mission Santa Maria
with the gear and meet the hikers. We can work out all the misc. details as it comes together. I've been hiking around town and Jaw Bone Canyon with a
12 lb backpack for practice. A side note: I was with my son and grandson at the 1000 race last week and we walked a lot. My son walks pretty fast.
He's in the army and retires next year after 22 years. He said they do a 12 mile hike with a 25 lb backpack in 3 hours. I guess the army won't take me
I can't walk that fast with or without the backpack.

Hike contingency
In the event the support vehicle(s) cannot get into Santa Maria site, how much further walk that first day to the top of the widow maker?
Is there potable water along this first day's route?
If not, is someone bringing a filter for water we may encounter?
