There was a SPOT track from about 2pm today at La Salina. Looks like there was an early lunch at Puerto Nuevo yesterday.

My wife and I saw them this afternoon. Stopped at the 74 km marker and waited for them to catch up. Where we pulled off was a couple hundred yards
ahead of them, and BajaGeoff was also there, walking and shooting video. We all had a beer and continued on our way. I only wish I were young enough
to walk a ways with them. Very pleasant, interesting young men.

Give them a break they haven't even hit the country yet. They got to get out of the city. Then the real journey will begin.
good luck guys, look me up in Loreto.

Here is the day four walk map. Because it has been so overcast prior to today, they have not been able charge their gear with the solar panels.
If you saw Justin walking alone on the road with his board, I believe he was going surfing....
Full report from today's visit coming up next!

Not that it's any big deal... but I believe the bottom point on your map was a tracking point from 9:30a or so this morning. There was an additional
tracking point from around 2pm later in the day in La Salina further south.
Looking forward to your report of your visit with them.

Confusion no more Doug!
This morning I headed down to Baja to meet up with Justin and Bryan. They had spent the night near the campground at La Fonda, and then started
heading south at first light. With their new Telcel phone, our communication had been good, and they sent me a text that they had made it down to La
Salina.
When I arrived, they were in great spirits and enjoying the first bit of sunshine they had seen on the trip. Their solar panels were soaking in juice
and they were also able to plug into the AC outlets on the patio to charge up their gear.
Once the restaurant opened, we had a great breakfast and enjoyed talking to our La Salina host, Gustavo.
I decided to tag along for a little bit to shoot some video and 15 minutes into our walk we ran into Baja Nomad "Retireded" and his wife Mary. They
had seen the guys walking and pulled over to offer us cold beer and water. So great to meet you Ed and thanks for stopping! Bryan and Justin were
stoked by your hospitality and impressed by awesomeness of the Baja Nomad forum!
After stocking up on some food items at the mercado south of La Salina, the dudes were off and I had to head back to San Diego. I will be meeting up
with them Saturday and will have another full report!
Viva Baja!

The guys just posted this to facebook with a pic them dressing their foot blisters
"Blisters. Mo fixes his on the side of the highway just south of Salsipuedes. Mine has yet to merit a swaddling. We're now very close to Ensenada. Sun
is out for the first time in days but the wind is cold. TELCEL service is pumping 3G strong everywhere we've been. Battery life is another issue with
the clouds shading our solar panels..."
No worries

To have blisters just 50 miles into a 1000+ mile journey is no bueno!

My cousin and I were going to Ensenada today when I told him to stop at the whale viewing rest area (south of Salsipuedes). Much to my surprise, there
were Justin and Bryan eating lunch and charging their equipment. Lunch was pb&j, with bananas and tortillas. I said hello,took their picture and
we talked a bit. Justin said they may stop at San Miguel today and get in a surf session (big waves today). Anyway they are in great spirits, and will
have company in the Ensenada area! Best of luck guys, it was great meeting you!!

No bueno at all. Blisters get easily infected. Hope they have what's required to keep them clean.
Maybe they need a house call from a doctora.

Here is the day five route, although they didn't get to ping the start point near La Fonda with their Spot tracker. A portion of this morning's walk
can also be seen as they made their way past Salsipuedes.

Maybe they can cut off the part of the sneaker where it is rubbing against the blisters so they can heal.

Sneakers? They had best be wearing Hiking Boots to support all that weight.
