Hello Amigos. We are at the Mision Santa Maria hotel by Cielito Lindo in San Quintin. Cameron's tour group has 15 trucks, mostly Raptors. Lunch at the
Santa Marta orphanage in San Vicente. There I moved from the copter to Camerons Raptor. Fun group. It will be on CBS Sports he says. I lectured at
Mission Santo Domingo to the group. Dinner now. Bye!

A bell Jet Range 5 is noisey. Have flown many times in the on we had at the TV station. Maybe a piston helicopter is quiet.

Thanks Sara...
Hey everyone, I made it back!
I can say that these were the nicest people and it was just wonderful being with them the past two days! Cameron and Heidi (and the rest were totally
amazing/ friendly/ nice/ fun/ etc. to be with!
This is a week long trip and some had to return today as the copter and I did. Casey in the Jeep cut his finger real bad surfing at Punta San Carlos
so he flew back with us in the copter today.
I got out of the copter at Santa Marta Orphanage near San Vicente and rode with Cameron and Heidi to San Quintin. The next day and today I rode Ron
Stobaugh, then transferred to Casey's Jeep JK to a spot south of Mission San Fernando... and then back to USA from there... just over 100 mph makes
Baja trips fast!
I took 682 photos... It will be most difficult to not share them all! I will write a trip report when I can... Here are a few photos:
Toll Hwy. Repair
Nearing Ensenada airport
Near Cuatro Casas (Camalu)
South of San Quintin
Near La Lobera
Cameron and Antonio (Baja Cactus)
Lunch at Punta Baja
Cameron with his little girl and I.
Ooops!
Beautiful! (near Punta San Antonio)
Mucho mas in the trip report!!!

LOL... I only got to do a little talk at Santo Domingo and El Rosario's second site... They are trying to get in so many places for camera
opportunities we ran short on time and didn't get to do a planned third talk at San Fernando...
The Raptor I was in got a sidewall gash (BFG All Terrain TA) so they transferred me to Casey's Jeep so I could get to San Fernando in time for the
group... but the road from Punta San Carlos to San Fernando was slow and no time available... Cameron's food crew was set up at Santa Ynez, I think,
then they were going to L.A. Bay for the night... and the planned run to Coco's Corner and down Calamajué Canyon got scrubbed... It is just too much
time when there are 15 trucks or more in a tour run to take in so many stops. They are going all the way to Cabo... in 6 days... to see more missions,
not sure how!?

Great stuff DK! Traveling in Baja with Cameron is always a great time. He really loves to share his knowledge of Baja with others the same way that
you do. That helicopter trip looked amazing. Jim is a great pilot and real nice guy as well!
