What kind of wagon are they hauling their stuff in? I've got one 'uv those two-wheel game carts. It's rated for 750 lbs. Have never put it to the
test, but 750 lbs. is one heck of a load.

Interesting, I just noticed that the Spot tracked at 7:46 am and then stopped for 2hr. 45 min. then there is a 4 mile gap then not a track but a check
in. Could they have turned off the unit while they were doing whatever they were doing then maybe forgot to turn it on, walked the 4 miles then
remembered? Or, who knows right, lol, I like to speculate though.

Thanks for the map, David
Been a long long time since we were racing through that area,
Obviously things have modernized a bunch.
In the 1000's we had a checkpoint at Cadeje- I think we used to call that checkpoint "Rancho Cuarenta"
I know that Parnelli donated them an old van which was always parked there when we went through.
None of those beach areas were developed and hard to imagine paved road to La Purisima.
Guess that is called "el progreso" (progress)
Hope the going stays good for them, and their rig stays upright.
For sure their roads are better than we had "back in the day"

Those little dinky wheels on the 4-wheel wagon look like trouble. They're obviously getting the job done, but.....? I'd go with the 2-wheel game cart.
Less revolutions/mile, not as likely to bury up in the sand, able to carry more weight, etc.

Rancho Cuarenta is north of Cadeje, on the inland road. It is just to the south of the mile '30.7' on the north map, on that arroyo.
I have been real busy this weekend with family events, sorry to not produce any maps of their location last night or today... just heading out the
door now. Igor, can you fill in when I don't?? Gracias amigos!

John and Rachel are a little over 4 hours into their walk today and are about 16 miles from San Juanico. When they arrive there I calculated that they
will have walked 451 miles. That's starting at the center of San Felipe. They started at a beach nearby, not exactly sure where so I just used the
center of town, which they walked through the first day of their journey.

I checked on them 10 kilometers just out of San Juanico and they are great!
They have two big long days and they are happy and smiling!
Tomorrow will be epic!

Thank you DB! Good to know they are doing well especially since I know they have been concerned about that stretch. They went 17 miles today!

Wow! Yeah, they're on that last straight section where you can smell the ocean......after that North Road stress I'm usually hauling arse in this
section, only a few minutes from being at the destination! Good for them. I bet they'll love and be loved in San Juanico.

They arrived to San Juanico downtown walking down the main street to the huge audience of school kids lining the street on both sides...they moved to
the other side of the street thinking they needed to get out of the way for whatever was going on and they were then informed by a teacher that this
TREATMENT was for THEM!
Truly an inspiring moment!
They were last seen sipping icy cold beverages after cleansing showers relaxing at the posh and private invite only - Beck Resort located somewhere in
San Juanico!
from the trail early this morning...well sort of early...okay, not so much...LOL
