The trip sounds like a great time. I just watched the Matomi Trail trip video from 2001. David K let me borrow it to take a peek, fun times. And shot
very well too. I will try and trade my Volvo wagon for a friends truck for the weekend. As long that is okay for a newbie to join in on the
trip...what kind of initiations go on? No extra liquids in my open Tecate por favor

Bajasol, you are welcome,Newbies are ok to join in, the invitation was made to all nomads, so as soon as you get a screenname in bajaNomad, you are a

you a  or a  just curious.
Ps. Extra liquids in open mexican beer is have the fun, don't tell me that you haven't pour some clamato juice inside your Tecate can

I enjoyed meeting bajasol at my home, last week! I loaned him my 'El Camote' produced video 'Matomi 2001'... Which is a great 18 minute film with
music showing all the Amigos who made up the first Matomi group excursion SAT: http://vivabaja.com/shell and SUN. : http://vivabaja.com/matomi It would be great to get it on You Tube... So everyone can see what a great job Camote did and how much fun a bunch of
Baja nuts can have when we get together.
On the Matomi 2001 weekend are myself and my 2 kids, El Camote, Mike Humfreville, jeans, Amo Pescar, Neal & Marian Johns, bajaboy, Mexray, Dave
McFarland from Desert Explorers, Westy, elgatoloco, Wild Bill & LN.
Matomi 2004 was a great repeat of fun: http://vivabaja.com/204
Mike Humfreville came back with Mary Ann and Mexray brought Pat to join the new members of the run: Georock and family, Bob H & Audrey, Surfer
Jim, DuTurtle, Tuna Eater and his dad Rudy, and more!

It must have been... I don't remember what we watched when you were here.
El Camote made three videos (short films) in 2001 of us having fun:
1) Matomi 2001 18 min.
2) BBBB-1: Cielito Lindo & Las Pintas 19 min.
3) Lost Mission Hunt Preview 3 min.

Hey gang,
my wife Chris, her son Geoff and I just got back last night from our beach house below San Felipe. We drove a sampling of the road we'll be taking on
Pres. Day Weekend. We drove over to the Rancho Percebu turnoff and we headed out to the desert at that point.
We were driving our Toyota 4x4 pickup and her son (age 12) was driving our Bronco ll
The 4 mile road out to the Old Puertocitis Highway was mostly small whoops but we were able to do just fine and that was with our two dogs in the bed
of the Toyota. We turned right and drove for about a mile to the second set of power lines that head west. At that junction we turned left and
basically followed the road that lies just north of the actual Huatamote Arroyo. As we drove the two to three miles along this road the arroyo
appeared to fall away as the road we were on became elevated.
We did a nice hill climb at the end of this road by going into the arroyo and then back up. We then continued on with our trip by again heading west
into the next arroyo north. More whoops were to follow but only for a mile then leading to a intersection. The road to the right will take you
directly to the back of the airport property (as we used it for our exit of the desert) but we again headed west and marked the trail with a stack of
rocks and a tire on edge. At that point it became a nice wide open wash where we able to pick up some speed. We traveled maybe another 3 miles and had
lunch and checked out all the caves in the area, did a little hiking, and then headed back.
We saw a few cows but mostly horses, much to the delight of the dogs as they tried to herd them.
That's about it gang, from the time we left the pavement (which is only 6 miles north of my house in Playa Hermosa) we drove 16 miles west and it was
just beautiful. The desert is in full bloom, and I imagine further west it's even more lush.
Time is winding down, make your plans now and bring a friend. My neighbor and friend BajaRob is getting some of the guys together from our area in the
Santa Maria area but some of you that showed some interest earlier we need to hear from you again. Again, if anyone needs accomidations just contact
me and we'll get you situated.
Chuck
Truck was home recently for shocks, mirrors, exhaust, speakers, oil change, and a bath.

WATER (Gadget!) and then turning left for a distance of 4 houses will bring you to our home. More details to follow...

Next year when we do #5 and I have GSB back together I will launch off this for all of you from the other direction and show you all how to do a 6000
lb. lawn dart. 
Or not.
