Thanks for the kudos. We had a great time. You should
have seen the Total Chaos-equipped Tacoma fly off of the cliff right next to the mine and land in the wash. Nick said he wouldn't try that stunt
again, but he sure had a great time proving that he could do it! I think both Toyotas dented their sheetmetal on this trip, but both drivers had a
wonderful time in the process!

Details, details! Pictures, pictures!
Have you thought of putting slime in the tires or sweeping the choya with a flamethrower?

The rocks there were petrified, and the ledges were tall in some places. I was afraid that I'd ruin my only ride to work. It was fun, but we'll give
it a go in another year or two...

Obstacles
Ken - did you get a photo of the obstacles that finally blocked the route? The dense vegetation you would have had to drive through? Perhaps a photo
looking up canyon?
Good reports - thanks - John M

Yes, I took a photo, but you can't tell by all of the brush what the ground looks like. I will post it this evening so you can see. This photo was
taken high above from the mine looking down into the canyon. Trust me. If 2 Rubicons, a Total Chaos-equipped Tacoma, a lifted Grand Cherokee, and a
lifted Wrangler X couldn't make it up, our chances are sunk without a bulldozer.

Ken did you see any signs of the motorcycle trail thru the wash. If not each bike may just pick their way thru. I would guess not many bikes go thru
over say a years time.

Tom, looking down from the grade, I saw lot's of m/c tracks in the wash coming from the mine... DEVEAU here on Nomad recently traveled it... It is
Kacey Smith's 'XR Ride' in her Baja GPS Guide.

Boy, I am supprised, I figured you guys would get through. Bikes are real narrow I guess.
TW, the motorcycle trail is not real worked in but it becomes pretty obvious once you start. Much easier West to East.
Instead of our annual Thanksgiving trip we raced the 1000 this year. I am working on a report but can't get the guys to stop babbling about Flats,
Being nerfed by a truck, Throwing the bike down in the middle of the highway to stop traffic, Two bikes being stolen and then found in Cabo and
getting stitchs in El Rosario to make any sense of what really happened? Hopefully by this weekend they can fill me in on the details. We did finish!
Chase Trucks? ??
We don\'t need no stinking chase trucks!

Deveau, congratulations on finishing the 1000, that's a long long race to Cabo. But what you mentioned above has me really wanting to read your race
report. Sounds like you had all the problems etc that go with a grand race like the 1000.

Nothing. Plenty of Cholla, though.
The vegitation was plenty thick. Not worth losing expensive tires over...
