I posted the link back near the beginning of this thread, here it is again to make it easier for viewers to click on.
LIVE SPOT TRACKING
They avoided Puertecitos and walking along the new highway, above town... now resting on the beach under the palapa seen in goldhuntress' image above.

Goldhuntress,
Which site are you looking at? I'm seeing 90 at 2:45PM on accuweather. Are you using their RealFeel temperatures?

Just a side note
I don't know about the San Felipe area, but I know that Accuweather reports the weather for Bahia Asunción and it is not based in reality. One of the
homeowners in BA who really likes to follow the weather, finally contacted them and they said they took the readings from somewhere else that was not
close to BA.
Good to see they are making progress and wish them well. Did they mention anywhere as to how much water they are carrying?

Wundergound gives almost identical temperatures. See below.
http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/76055.html
There is a slight cooling trend starting on Friday. 90 and 96 may seem almost the same but I think that's significant because those are highs. They
could walk in 70's and 80's all day when the high is 90. But when it's 96 virtually all day is unwalkable (10AM to 9PM).

96. Maybe that's why they have been staying put for the last few hours. |
I can verify the desert heat that day---I was out in Borrego Springs building a little shack for getaways and camping there at night---it was 108
during the day with blast furnace evening winds until midnite or so. They've got the ocean to jump into which should help but that was hard work in
that kind of heat!

They're about a mile north of Huefernito now. They gone through the roughest terrain between San Felipe and Gonzaga this morning.
They're taking a break at that first arroyo just north of huefernito. It's a really nice spot. Perhaps the uphill climb out of the arroyo going south
(see bottom of screen) also encouraged them to take a break.

At about 10 miles covered in 5 hrs they have had a good morning. That's a good pace for what they are trying to do.

Yes, but it looks like they may be done for the day. There's been a checkin at 9AM in that cove up against the base of the nothern cliffs and that
usually means it's over for the day.

it seems like that detour to the coast and back will add up (+/- a mile or so daily) by the end of the trip. that's alot of extra miles. i'd be
looking for something nearer the road mostly, but then a gain, i wouldn't be walking unless my life depended on it.....

Woody, yesterday and today they were only a 100 yards or so from the road to the beach... and the temperature is so much nicer on the water than along
the pavement.
Photobucket was having a problem the past 24 hrs., but all is well now... Here is yesterday's rest stop:

have bringing them water and necesities (sp?).

I'm not sure what the exact temp is but it's hot. I think they have walked 72.5 miles in total right now.

Six Days and 72.5 miles = 12.1 miles each day, average.

Even more pleasant in an air conditioned SUV!
