Anyone that knows of Graham abd his ventures into Baja and the fact he was helping Mike should have layed to rest any concern of how Mike would treat
an animal. |

Yes you're right.
But I'm still old enough to think Shirley was hot !!  
And a pretty cute burro too if I remember correctly.

Why doesth y'all protest so much ?? 
Lots of opinions stated; some informed and some clueless but commenting anyway.
In any case; huge thanks to DK for continuing to report on Mike's trip.

She's still hot. Brother Warren is the one who looks like he went 2 rounds with Julio Cesar.

Mike and the gang walked about 12 miles today and are now just 4 miles from the state border/ Eagle Monument!
A look south:
So what do you all think... does he go through the ag station and get the bottom of the burro sprayed... or that other way into town?

Barry (and others), go to pages 33-34 of Jim Hunter's 1977 'Offbeat Baja' guidebook and see/ read about the 'Sarafan Sand Dunes'... 2.4 miles north of
Eagle Monument go west... keep right at each fork and T intersection. 2 miles from Hwy. 1 arrive.

Graham how many rattle snakes did you encounter on your trek? Has anyone asked Mike if he has ran into many of them?

I wonder, how does Mike bathe and keep clean clothes, etc. in such remote areas? Lots of questions cross my mind. I'm also sure he is having one way
conversations with Don Kay and Solo!
What an amazing story developing here.

I just heard from Mike's daughter Tammy. She spoke to him yesterday on his cell phone. Said he's doing great and all's well with him and Don Kay. Only
thing - Mike is sure missing Max and Rusty. And he would just love to have them back on the trail with him. I may have to run them down for a visit!
A chance Mike hasn't seen a rattlesnake so far. That might change as the weeks fly by and he gets further south in Baja Sur.
And a gallon of sun-warmed water can sure make a nice refreshing Baja shower. There's probably water for washing clothes in some of the campos.
Maybe he can get to a laundromat in Gro Negro. Looks like he might cross into Baja Sur today. What a milestone for the old Navy guy.
