Chanate wash on the map has a pretty neat sand hill that the racers will go down this year but in years past it was in the other direction and you went up it. At the bottom there are some pretty good whoops. A few years ago we were chasing Mike Doherty's class 8 truck. He broke an axle just south of Morelia jct. He ran the rest of the course as a one wheel drive truck and made it to where Matomi wash meets the hwy where a car in front of him was stuck and he tried to go around and got stuck and timed out of the race. I had always wondered how he made it thru the whoops and up that sand hill. He must have been hauling butt. We did air down the BFG project tires to about 5 or 6 lbs and they still looked full.

Thanks DEVEAU!

However, when you zoom in close, the blue lines don't match with the dirt roads exactly (La Roca to sulfur mine, at least).

Anyway, Campo Nuevo Mazatlan is where Arvada George takes his m/c group each year... I have been going there since 1966 or so.

Flush toilets and (non-heated) showers in a tree shaded campground next to a big sand beach... $20/ night... a bit steep, but it is clean and quiet... At Km. 32.

Here's a web page I made for Nuevo Mazatlan: http://vivabaja.com/nm

Here's my last time camping there (Aug., '06): http://vivabaja.com/806

Mike Childress has entered the race on bike 16X. He the guy to beat. Still haven't seen Hengeveld (sp) or Campbell. Maybe Steve will be racing with Bell on 1X if he races. You prerun guys did see the SCORE notice about prerunning. The two northern washes will not be marked this weekend as they are still in negociations. The bottom half to the finish is OK
