This is really cool. I remember meeting Graham as he was walking through Catavina with his donkey.

Such happy memories...
Returning to Catavina wet and wiser from my ill-fated attempt to follow the mission trail down to Gonzaga, after visiting Mission Santa Maria
Burro Mision needed lots of TLC to recover from all his falls and stumbles.
That sure is a nice looking Lab Mike has picked up... sounds like if you want to find a great dog in Baja, just go trolling with a friendly burro and
you're going to hook up with a bunch of them!
Not sure what he'll do now... they all seem to be getting along well.. but he'll sure need a little extra dog chow.

Graham,
I enjoy the pictures you've posted - of both your visit with Mike, as well as from your own trip down the peninsula - so incredibly much.
Thank you for having taken the time to share them here.

Mike and the gang advanced about 5 miles today and have set up camp on the older route of Mex. 1, just north of where the San Simon river washed it a
out a couple times soon after the highway was paved in 1973. Hwy. 1 was re-routed up to the hillside to cross the river at a better location.

Hi, I'm new to BajaNomad. I don't actually live in Baja, but I did take a motorcycle trip from Salem, Oregon to Cabo San Lucas back in 1999 and it
was an experience that I cherish.
I found the site while searching for information on Mike and his adventure. I first read about it in the paper written by ED ZIERALSKI way back in
September and was surprised to find that there has not been greater news coverage on his adventure.
I have posted the news stories on my site and have added some of the postings I've found on this site. I really hope you don't mind. I have enjoyed
reading about his adventure, especially the two new dogs joining. It was very sad that he had to part from Rusty and Max.
I will continue to post updates on my site for other readers to enjoy! Please feel free to ad to it. www.cabofriends.net

Actually, the Union-Tribune did an update on Mike today. Included references to bajanomad.
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/nov/04/baja-adventur...
I'm heading to Loreto on Tuesday - book signing and slide show at Caballo Blanco Friday - hope to find Mike again before he gets too far from El
Rosario and the highway. But boy, he's cooking. Just keeps on burning up the miles.
Hope Don Kay, Solo and Yeller are doing well.

On Tuesday (Nov.2nd) a little before noon, my twin daughters, my son and I were turning onto the Old Mill road from a dirt road by our house, in San
Quintin, we saw Mike and his Donkey. Mike waved and smiled at us as we drove by. My daughters thought I should of offered him a ride, I said "and
where would we have put the donkey?" My daughters were upset that we did not stop and talk to him or take a picture with Mike and his donkey. We
figured he was walking around Baja, at first I thought it was Graham McIntosh taking the trek again.
Mike I wish you luck and look forward to reading about your trip in Baja.

Mike and friends hiked about 8 miles today (6 mi. on the 4th and 8 miles on the 3rd)... and is paralleling Hwy. 1 as it climbs up the El Rosaio
Mesa... He is about a mile south of the La Lobera access road and a bit off the highway...
This view I did different, looking east instead of the usual north:
Here is a zoom in... You can see the La Lobera crater... none of the buildings yet, as this image was taken in 2003:
Here is the map...

I hope Baja Cactus has a room for Mike and Don Kay. They both might need a warm shower and soft bed.
