TW,
How would you rate the Guajadami road versus the road out of Agua Verde to San Jose de la Noria as to degree of difficulty. Our Explorer handled the
former ok and we would like to do the Agua Verde road this fall but I rate the Explorer as strictly a medium duty 4wd. With care it has taken us on
some rugged roads but I am aware of its limitations.
Thanks,
Kurt |
You shouldn't have any problem taking that Explorer over the roads we took. Have fun. |
Our thought is to do that route south from Agua Verde and then on to Evaristo and down the coast to La Paz. Probably in late Oct. Care to join us?
|
If I'm still in the area and have replaced my tires by then, I'd love to. You probably wouldn't have any problems rounding up a willing group if you
started a thread and set a date for the outing. |
This thread brings back a lot of memories. Unfortunately the fall trip that year got canceled since I had to have heart surgery. Successful
obviously since I am still poking around back country Baja from time to time. I did have one adventure in that time frame that some of you may
recall, 90 days after having a quad cardiac bypass I loaded up a 1981 Honda 750 and rode 1000 miles from San Luis Obispo to Mulege. I rested 4 days
at the Hacienda and rode back home. I still from time to time get some very negative comments about my judgement from my partner.
I had mentioned a few months ago about trying to go to Malarrimo but family matters got in the way of that trip. Still hope to do it.
I did make the drive to Evaristo and down to La Paz sort of spur of the moment about three years ago and enjoyed the beautiful drive. Still haven't
done Tembabichi but hope to sometime this year.

So, the vibration on the road on an old bike with wind in your face acts as a natural pacemaker? Makes sense to me.....if you had a subscription to
Netflix and an easy chair back then, you might be dead by now!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Yup, I try to just keep movin'. I still have that old bike and while I have almost totally given up riding I did take it out yesterday for a 15 mile
loop around the rural area where I live.

Kurt, it was real pleasure that you joined our Nomad group to Mission Santa María, in 2010!
Returning last year, with other Nomads, the road was more difficult but the bog was dry!
2010, entering the bog and splashing through in the lead Tacoma as HB Murphy & Zoom express their amazement. My wife is on the CB, confirming we
were making it through, as the #2 Tacoma. Of course, we all were amazed as Art (edm1) muscled his 4WD 'motorhome' through!
