You know, there are many wild burros and horses, coyotes and some deer and sheep out in the wilds of Baja. Somehow they manage to get along - nobody
putting 5 gallons of water in front of them. Everyone who Mike comes in contact with is, first and foremost, concerned with Don-Kay and caters to
him. So far, so good.

That's a beautiful stretch of coastline he’s passing through, and heading into.

many of those burros people think are wild are actually just FREE...but they belong to ranchers and know where their water troughs are and go to them
every few days when they need to.

Just like many of us Nomads, no?! Free roaming souls who know where their Watering Holes are and visit them regularly! Shut Up
Franks, Sharkeys, El Candil, and The Road House to name a few!Too many days and I need to put my head in the trough, verdad! Oh yeah and The Tidepool, too. Gotta bad thirst, gotta go! Tio

On the last map that DK posted it shows a well to the east of Bahia Blanca. Does anyone know if it is there and is there with good water there? Just
curious.

Of course you can. You didnt think surfers could hike in all the beer and Animalitos they need, did you?
Gentlemen, start your engines!!! And your GPSes!!! This is gonna be bigger than finding the Ark of the Covenant and Excaliber, combined.
Woody, I recommend Prozac.

Nov. 29, 2010 Beyond Bahia Blanca
Mike and his four leg friends had a big day covering an estimated 16 miles from last night's camp.
They are taking a road that isn't on the AAA map or Almanac, but makes a short cut closer to the coast. We took it in 2007 and before rejoining the
graded road going north to the San Antonio Jcn., we found a zone of silt (moon dust/ Baja dust) that reminded me of Laguna Chapala in the old days!
On the AAA map, near the San Antonio Jcn., a well is shown. Mike is not going by that point.

thanks, Hook!
i'm trying to turn over a new leaf, remember? at least the surf has been/is gonna be flat for weeks so any errant fotos that might end up in a book
won't give up the ghost.
Neptune willing....

David, thank you so much for your postings and providing the great information on the whole journey. Thank goodness you have thick enough skin not to
let the people who have a little less sense than Don-Kay side- track you and get you off on a tangent. Kinda reminds me of the arm chair quarterbacks
you can see at any football gathering who offer eloquent advice on what should have happened and why they are so much smarter and well informed than
the person who is actually up to his ass in alligators and trying to drain the swamp. Graham, who is the only critic that has much of value to say,
because of his experience, seems to be pretty positive about the whole endeavor.

hmmm...less sense than Don Kay??? interesting....ranchers tell me that if you arent sure which path to travel...let the burro choose...he'll know
where to go. When Mike went up that canyon, I was wondering who's choice it was...did he follow Don Kay's lead? I look forward to asking him as we had
that discussion on the phone about burros' good sense.
David, can you estimate about when Mike will arrive in Rosalillita...we are going to arrange for some hay and goodies to be waiting for them there.

Shari;
If he continues his current pace of 15 +- miles per day, then 3, maybe 4 days. I used the 'path' tool in GE and just followed the roads and got about
45 miles, not counting any side-trips they may do. It looks to me that there a a lot of level straight stretches so maybe 3?

I was by the well last week and there is a windmill but I don't recall it turning. There are a couple of ranches in the area, one pretty close to the
northeast across the valley. There is also a couple of fish camps. One on the north end of Bahia Blanco and one southwest of the well over the hills.

Shari, what Santiago says... 3 days, unless he finds a need to take a break for a couple days... which he may wait to do in Santa Rosalillita
(specially if he knows there are 'friendlies' there).
Does your contact in Santa Rosalillita have a phone or Internet...? You could let him know Mike's location each night.
