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

deasanated lead and has wrote down his planned nights spots along the ..relays to #2 truck and stay on road at all costs and when refueling keeps eyes
on traffic passing as he refueling...has worked for me on many,many road trips and I alway have radios and stay on the road. like no side trips.. on

Ummm...if I were a secret agent, I would stake out my target's home, set up a home base with perfectly matched camo within site before departure then
tail them to the destination.  
The other would be to leave secret signs at pre-agreed upon checkpoints down the #1.
When the way comes to an end, then change. Having changed, you pass through.

What?? Did you forget the phone in the heel of your shoe? I know "M" has made a flip flop model by now.
I yam what I yam and that\'s all what I yam.

My US cell phone with no real coverage in Baja (verison) will work as far south as Ensenada. Bit if I were a SA I'd have a pocketful of throwaway
phones and don't forget the gloves. Don't want pesky fingerprints left behind.

This is a common problem for meetups in baja.
If someone doesn't show up they aren't a good travel partner. And two people coming from separate locations to meetup en route are unlikely to arrive
at the meetup at the same time.
The excuses are endless. People don't know how to use phones in mexico, they don't know how to find places, they don't have a watch, they are the
wrong the time zone, overslept, made other plans are slow or just plain forgot.
Often people do show up but they are 1 hour off on the time zone or they are standing behind a palm tree and you don't see them.
The solution is that you need plan A to be window of time say meet at 8am but show up early and wait at least 1-2 hours and the meetup spot must be a
specific location with broad clear visibility.
Use bright signal systems such as tie a ribbon to a tree to communicate you were there and left.
Make multiple meetup spots and times to continue onward.
The best solution, is if someone doesn't show, meet someone else.

Stop being a weenie ....put on your Big Boy SA pants and drive south.
Your SA travel partner is unreliable and is only a potential risk from the time he did NOT show up until eternity....in fact, he could be a double
agent ( you can tell because he thinks Pacifico is good beer and is likely swilling it at some cheap strip bar already in Ensenada).
Ignore all the cell-phone/internetthingee advice: leave the designated meet spot after waiting no more than 10 minutes, seek out a good taco cart,
get a gut-full and head south after changing clothes, vehicle, and originally planned route.
Once south of San Quintin (since you originally planned to meet and head to San Felipe to mooch beer from McFez), follow the not-so-known advice to
stay at a place few have heard of in El Rosario....(a humble roadside stop called Baja Cactus) and stay in one of the newer rooms....if not sure where
all that is, contact the low-key and humble SA (code name:MapBoy) back in Los Angeles (use the carrier pigeons in the Aston Martin's boot) for
directions.
You can find something to eat nearby at a place shunned by all informed Baja Nomads (who also think they are SA's) called Mamma's....
Once on the road again, be sure to contact Master Agent Gotta Peso for further directions....you can rely on him for secure intel and the new code.
Your next assignment will be written on a Catavina boulder and will at first glance just appear to be graffiti or a shrine....persist and switch Aston
Martin for what appears to be an abandoned pickup truck at Rancho Santa Ynez (code book might be misleading as it might call location Santa
Inez....don't be fooled....they are one and the same).....eat a burrito or two there for further sustenance....
By this time, your comrade will have been eliminated as his double agent status was confirmed by Ultra Agent Skeet in Texas....who has irrefutable
evidence your comrade was a Democrat who never over-fished his limit, and drank Indio beer.
Who needs cell phones???? Or even flip-flop phones???
This message was sent by Super Dooper Class One Agent Buford.
Don't believe everything you think....

For all you aspiring Baja Secret Agents, here's a resource for becoming a "professional".

Actually some interesting and informative articles here.
