Hopefully you are stating with Coyote? If so stop at Coyote and speak with Mike to find out the condition of the track.

Maybe we can get that permission for our trip at the end of March.

Hey everyone,
I am partnering with Ru KinKon (his Jeep alias) to establish a limited run of EL IMPOSIBLE WINE from Guadalupe Valley, Baja California! Stay tuned.
As for Mike's/El Coyote, due to time constraints, I won't be able to run the trails in that region and keep the trip at 9 days..

The last day, mplans are to begin in El Rosario and try to reach, then cross the border by dusk. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate and not
produce rainfall and/or snowfall which would impact our travel that day. If anyone plans to run additional trails, I wish that my schedule would
support additional days.

So, an off-road wine that tastes like 2-buck-chuck mixed with tecate and monster energy drink?
(Based on the ads, I have always assumed that off-roaders only drink monster or tecate)
Woke!

Mtn Goat - Please review Overland Journal before making your gross generalizations about what we do. Your extremely ignorant of anything
non-urban/pro-conservationist.

No Ken, neither
mtgoat666 is just in his world and has no room to accommodate others with a differing view of the world. Why he/she would wish to insert comment in
this thread speaks to his/her state of mind. It is a forum open to members but most members with alternate ideas don't choose to display their
ignorance or lack of tolerance.

I have been monitoring the storm impacts of Rosa and the possible impacts on my Baja run - El Imposible. During the best of times, this run has an
ambitious schedule - featuring The 1942 Pole Line Road, Matomi Wash, Gonzaga Bay, and the Mission Impossible trail. But, with recent photographs
illustrating this week's damage to infrastructure and roadways of Hwy 5 and San Felipe, it appears that a rapid response to road damage and flash
flooding is of the utmost importance.
Currently, Military troops have been deployed to the most dire sections of highway south of San Felipe to construct bypass routes by hand. In the
coming weeks, local participants of the El Imposible run will attempt a prerunner of Matomi Canyon and Matomi Wash. I will report back on their
findings as they relate to our scheduled day run of the Matomi area. If we need to alter the planned trails, alternates such as the extreme 'Mini
Summit' can be substituted in place of the likely (now) extreme Matomi Wash. Improvements to local infrastructure will need to be in place before
this trails access and new rating can be given.
With Sergio on the horizon, the possibility of more storm damage and impassible roads exists. I will report back on road improvements, access to
gasoline and supplies, and our likely modified route of 'El Imposible'. We will still hit the trail to Baja - it is yet to be determined if our route
will include each of the trails and attractions on the 'El Imposible' event list:
-1942 Baja Pole Line Road
-Matomi Canyon and Wash
-Gonzaga Bay
-Coco's Corner
-Mission Impossible/Misión Sta María
-Mama Espinosas Seafood dinner
If Hwy 5 is restored to it's former glory, the above list will continue on. If not, our hotel stay in San Felipe will continue, however it would be
prudent to skip room reservations as any disruption to our run schedule would impact our (my) room down payments.

If you want to do an extreme trail the Mini Summit is a good one, even when you here Matomi is not passible I have never found it to be that hard if
you are set up for rock crawling.

I hope to hear that the latest flood has deposited new sand on the boulders in the Matomi Narrows rather than take what little was in there, away!
In the 1970s and 80s, it was difficult (with exposed boulders to drive over) but in the 2000s, it was easy as sand covered the boulders... Now in the
mid- to late 2010s, it is difficult again.
Flash floods bring or take away sand!

4 more months
We're 4 months away and here is a list of our crew so far (first names only). If you're not on the list, please reply to this message or send me a
U2U and I will place you on the list.
Ken (me)
Ed (Phoenix)
Buck (San Diego)
Daryl (B.C. Canada)
+2 Jeeps with Daryl (B.C. Canada) (!!)
Victor (Tijuana 4x4)
Saturnino (PLR only)
Huitzi (San Bernardino)
Rich (San Felipe)
Paul (San Felipe)
Chloe (San Felipe)
Victor (Phoenix, AZ)
David (San Diego)
Powell (San Diego)
Norman (San Diego)
Ricky (Los Angeles)
Mark (San Felipe)
Alex (Ensenada)
David (San Diego)
Pole Line Road will require everyone driving thru.
Matomi will be optional as David mentioned above the narrows will be challenging and some drivers don't want to risk their Jeeps while having to
return to Canada one week later.
Mission Impossible may be flooded 4 feet at the swamp. Crossing the swamp will be optional.
The graphic designer in Seattle is working on the merchandise.
Rich T. and Paul W. plan to scout out Matomi narrows.
No hotels have been reserved as plans may change due to storm impacts. Please understand my planning is like a gamble with everything going on at the
moment with regards to Hwy 5 damage.
Stay tuned

Very common name. Maybe the most common. Common man. Sort of a bible thumper name, the famous bible guy was some Hebrew dude, had some kind of
dispute with a big guy named Goliath.
Woke!
