Nice pictures. Did you educate your fellow travelers on not leaving their toilet paper every where?

It seemed to me that everyone on the run was already an experienced desert camper. Nobody acted 'parental' over anyone else other than Ken who was the
'Trail Boss' and provided driver's meetings at the start of each day. Digging a hole and covering is standard desert sanitation. We did not watch the
bathroom customs of others in the group, but a long walk with a shovel is typical in the morning! |

my girlfriend claims, things find me - not the other way around
I have so much Baja indian stuff in boxes that I get tired of them
I found my box of pole line stuff in the garage this morning
I will donate it to the Kier Baja Museum
(uniform buttons, cable clamps, nails, wooden supports for the insulators, broken insulators, intact insulators)
you'll find the cobble sections in here:

Seņor norte,
I have no intention of deleting #16. If we don't clean up our own poop in the desert (or anywhere in nature), we have no business of being there.
Everybody claims to tread lightly - few have an idea what that really means.
Sailors seem to be the worst.

Don't Mexican artifacts belong to Mexico?

good question. US built road in Mexico - who can claim the artifacts?
All the other stuff mentioned is still in Mexico. And I usually donate my finds to local museums.

I think the US would have a hard time claiming them. But you can try. Why don't we ask these guys.

somehow don't think that will happen.
The other stuff - boxes full? Time to start your donating.

Those are called artifacts, the things that assist scientists in their study of an area --- unless of course they are removed.

Have a problem with Mexico do we? No matter how you justify it, David, it is wrong.

I burn the TP, only a very little is too wet to combust, and that gets buried with the poop.
How did this thread become about dk's toilet routine?

Set a good example. You of all people who advertise 4 wheel excursions. For example, taking boxes of indian artifacts causes them to lose identity.
Properly identified and cataloged they could tell a story. I am sure the University there in La Paz would have taken them...unless you have the same
opinions of Mexico that your friend David K has.
You claim, "tread lightly". Time to practice it.
Never too late to start Harald.

rts551 (don't you have a name?),
may I remind you that I stated already that I donate my collections to local museums or appropriate authorities?
8 out of 10 times nobody wants them though.

Artifacts left in place are what tell the story. Out of context, they often have little meaning.
