M Humphreyville writes in the "Shadow of the Volcano" that the bigmouth bastard was one of their favorite fish to eat when they camped at BOLA. So perhaps we should have tried one.

SF and H, That cactus did very little to the tire. The spines are narrow and collapse under the weight of a vehicle. But they are nasty. They must have had barbs at the tips because as much as I tried, they "wouldn't let go". But I know what you mean about spines penetrating steel belted tires. I once drove over a cardon and they must've pulled 50 spines out of the tire at GN. From there we drove to Guatemala and 3 months later they pulled out more back home in HMB. Some were unnoticed in the rubber and the driving forced them further in.

Great great pics! Looks like a fantastic time. My friend and I have caught a few of the 'bastards but he thought they looked so disgusting there was not a chance he was going to eat them. I could be wrong, but I think when we fished with Igor out of L.A. Bay he said that those fish were his father's favorite to eat.

Looks like a fun time! How do you like the pop-up on the Toyota? Is that a 5-foot bed? Wondering how much room you have inside the camper as we are considering one of those.

It's cramped in there, Mexitron. The top has to be up if 2 people are going to be back there.

Much of the luggage is transported in the back seat of the cab.

Weighs 590lb and goes anywhere.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Nice trip, too bad we didn't get to meet up for a beer being just a few miles away. Next time.
