The author Tom Severin in Baja, navigating the "Mission Impossible" 4WD trail - http://www.4x4training.com/


the driver would have been healthier in long run if he hiked that road, gotten a little cardio exercise, and mother earth would have been healthier too if he had hiked instead of burning fossil fuels and eroding soils through vehicle use. just saying,... :bounce::bounce:


This is true, but how would he carry enough water and food for this trek? Sure, there exists ponds and streams once you travel approx. 20 mi. East from Rancho Santa Inez, but what would sustain a hiker to that point? One at middle age at that? I see your point with the sustainability and health benefits of hiking, but it is an activity only few can enjoy.
