I noticed on their fb page they posted that they were going for a "naked sundown dip in the middle of Rosarito". You might want to mention to them
that skinny dipping is best done under the cover of darkness and not in populated areas, as it could put an early end to their adventure. I've nothing
against it, (and yes, I'd probably watch) but from my understanding it is not socially acceptable in Baja.
I wish the boys luck and look forward to their fb posting.

Wait....This could be a whole other Nat geo special...."Arrested and thrown in the Love Tank at La Mesa prison for frolicking butt-nekid in the frothy
breakers of Rosarito Beach."
The search for their clothing continues. |
It occurs to me that Nomad comments will make a really funny set of subtitles for the video the boys are making

So....where are the boys today? If they play their calendar right, they might walk right into Carnaval in Ensenada. Fat Tuesday is a week away.
Laissez les bons temps rouler.

I was noticing by their Spot tracking, that the place they spent the night in the unfinished condo building was at Punta Bandera, near where the Trump
Towers project was slated for.

From what they last wrote, they were staying at Grandma's house in Rosarito...I wouldn't think anyone would have any objections to Grandma preparing a
homemade bowl of Caldo de Res to fortify them for their journey now do you? Although I don't think there is anything wrong with them eating at a high
end restaurant in Ensenada, or carrying laptops to document their trip...I kinda like the modern improvements made in Mexico...combining the old with
the new!!

They just updated their FB page a few minutes ago.
Said they're passing Las Gaviotas right now.... and that last night a local they didn't know invited them in to dinner.

Sounds like a great adventure, giving them plenty of time before the heat settles in. It would be pure suicide to start the journey in early summer.

Here is the day three map.....Rosarito to K-38. It looks like they turned the Spot off to conserve the battery. When I talked to them yesterday, they
said because of all the cloudiness, they have not been able to use their solar chargers as much as they would like. I will meet up with them
tomorrow...

I have solar decklights that won't even charge in this overcast. It's a nasty day out there.

Yeah....not a very awesome day Dennis. I would imagine if you are walking 10 our so miles it is pretty pleasant though.

In Baja, having a cool breeze while walking is everything...the smartest move they made was picking the right weather.

It's supposed to rain in a couple of days so I hope you're right.

Dennis, a day or two of rain doesn't hurt anyone, and rain doesn't last long in Baja, if at all, you've been down here long enough to know that. The
heat is what kills in Baja, not the rain. That is why I was very much against two older folks trekking it out in the summer with all the health
problems they had.

You could always carry it under your arms with the tip facing the winds, would work alot better aerodynamically....

..but aerodynamically it will provide lift the way it is. That will cut down on the need to walk around all those arroyos.

At 15 years old I would take off for a couple of weeks with my backpack and board and surf up and down the cali coast from San Fran down. Although I
was hitchen rides (1960's) I did a lot of walking and that was when boards were in the 12 -15 pound range. Never once regretted it and no surfer would
ever think of going without a board even if it meant leaving everything else behind to continue with it. Now my board is only a couple of pounds but
it's the 4 block walk to the beach that kills me!
