10 miles per day no big deal, most long hikers start with 10 mile goal per day after the second week mileage will increases almost daily. I know guys
that were walking 30 miles a day on the PCT by the time they got to OR and WA. While doing the JMT and the High Sierra trail We were clicking off 15
-18 miles days buy the end.
I would love to freeload my way down the Baja Coast. With a surfboard, even better.

.......'''oh,oh!!...we got blisters 'cuase we didn't know to actually -use- our boots before we embarked on this splendid sortie,,,,,,but then another
nomad came along and -saved- us with another meal and cervesa's and place to stay,,,thank heavens''
...........actually methinks they were -expecting- and preparing for more challenges than they've gotten so far,,investing in that de-salinator is an
indicator of that,,and who knows if they were aware of the generosityof nomads and isolated natives??

I'm not arguing with them. As you may recall, I voiced some negativity when all this first started, but seeing the ambulatory fiesta they seem to
have turned it into, kinda puts the venture in it's proper place....for me anyway.
It's hard to imagine this will ever be presented as an NG Epic Adventure....more like "Two guys having a memorable time on the road in Baja."
Kerouac would be proud of their efforts, so why can't I be the same?

I hate to be falling on the side of the argumentative... But don't you think it would be good to have some survival and/or EMT training going into
this?
And maybe a first aid kit... And maybe a pocket pole to go along with the hand line?

Havent you ever watched a native use a hand line and the neck of a beer bottle as a rod and reel.
It's really cool.

It takes too much effort to really be good at it.

I am not referring to you...I am referring that it is not worth it for me to be arguing with these guys here. I think the photos have been quite
stunning so far, and as old as we all are here why not give some encouragement? I guess that is too much to ask. Dennis, you were all for the old
couple that started out in the middle of summer with the guy being 60 pounds overweight with blisters on his feet, every foot they walked was
applauded and they stopped frequently for beers and tacos. I was against it because they were in bad health and the heat could have given the guy a
stroke or heart attack at any minute. I think any exercise anyone does these days is great...I'd like to hear more about Chuckie's business, 78 years
old and hiking all that distance...that's great Chuckie!! Or maybe Micah could contribute on some of his past adventures, let's make this board a
positive thing!! | Quote: | Originally posted by DENNIS

Ya know...
All I'm saying is that this is some of the nastiest country that probably exists in Baja...
It's the last frontier...
I've been there.. I've seen it... You go prepared...
Or don't go...

No. I wasn't. I thought their plan was ludicrous.
