Here's Graham transfering ownership of Misión to Jim Dandy, 13 years ago... (from Graham's web site):

It sounds like Mike will have some homework to do to take DonKay stateside, but it can be done. Hope this info helps.
http://www.aphis.usda.gov/import_export/index.shtml
APHIS imposes precautions to keep out several equine diseases,[33] including glanders, dourine, equine infectious anemia (EIA), equine piroplasmosis
(EP), Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE), and contagious equine metritis (CEM). APHIS also checks horses to prevent the introduction of ticks and
other parasites.
Per APHIS,[33] (U.S. Dept. of Ag. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) Horses from Mexico must have a health certificate; pass negative tests
for EIA, dourine, glanders, and EP at a USDA import center; and undergo precautionary treatments for external parasites at the port of entry. Horses
from other Western Hemisphere countries must have the same tests as those from Mexico and, except for horses from Argentina, must be held in
quarantine for at least 7 days as a check for VEE.
APHIS imposes similar testing and certification requirements on horses from other parts of the world but without the quarantine for VEE. These horses
are held in quarantine—usually 3 days—or until tests are completed. Because the disease equine piroplasmosis (equine babesiosis) is endemic in Mexico
but not established in the United States,[35] transportation of horses from Mexico to the United States requires evaluation of horses for the presence
of this disease.
Transportation of horses from Mexico to the United States normally requires at least 3 days in quarantine, which is incompatible with most
recreational equestrian travel across the border. A leading exception to this rule is the special waiver obtained by riders participating in the
Cabalgata Binacional Villista (see cavalcade).

I guess all Mike needs now is a :
STAPLES "That was Easy Button" Sorry I couldn't resist.
I am sure that information is up to date and helpful should Mike decide to go forward with the task.

thanks Rob for the explanation of la aguja referring to the hill by your place !!! I am sure your hospitality will be most welcomed !!! My question
was not well-formed, that's for sure.
It wd indeed be nice to know what happened to Mision - I am guessing Graham knows the answer to that one.
Per APHIS,[33] (U.S. Dept. of Ag. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) Horses from Mexico must have a health certificate; pass negative tests
for EIA, dourine, glanders, and EP at a USDA import center; and undergo precautionary treatments for external parasites at the port of entry.
The above does sound do-able. Get bill of health, get checked for 4 diseases and get vaccines over 3 days for the rest of the diseases .... and stay
in quaranteen for 3 days to do this. I am assuming that horses and burros will get the same treatment.....
Mike - good for you for hanging out - from the pics it looks like all 3 of you are having a grand time !! Enjoy amigos !
Thanks Oladulce and Big Woooo and Juan del Rio for everything !!

How do you feel about that Don Kay?

Okay gang... I was gone for awhile today (life outside Baja Nomad!)... and had some nice u2u messages...
Looks like there are two Nomads offering 'oasis' sites between San Juanico and Todos Santos for Mike, Don-Kay and Solo:
Lopez Mateos and La Aguja.
It is still a very long stretch to the finish line near Cabo San Lucas!

I thought I would let you know that Equine Infectious Anemia most commonly known as (Coggins’ Disease) is a blood test Don Kay would have to get done.
It is NOT a shot he gets.
The kicker is a Coggin's test have to be sent off to a lab and can take 1-2 weeks to get the results back, at least in the states. Blood has to be
drawn by a licensed vet and sent to an approved lab by the vet. Once the test comes back there is a USDA form that is issued to the animal owner to go
with the animal for travel purposes.
Also many states require a Brand Inspection. It doesn't matter if the animal has an actual Brand or not many states have livestock inspectors that
will require brand papers. An Brand inspector, inspects the animal for brands and other markings and fills out a form with a picture of an equine on
it noting brands and other markings. A Brand Inspection Form along with proof of negative Coggins and a health certificate are required for travel
with an equine through interstate commerce.
MORE ABOUT COGGINS:
Equine infectious anemia (EIA), or swamp fever, is a viral disease that occurs worldwide. The disease is usually spread by horse flies biting an
infected horse, then biting a healthy horse. The disease can also be transmitted by the use of nonsterile needles and blood-contaminated surgical
instruments.
There is no cure for EIA, so prevention is the key to controlling the disease. The Coggins test is a simple blood test that is widely accepted as a
way of determining carriers of the disease. The Coggins test is often required to transport, show, sell, or board a horse. Coggins tests should be
updated yearly. Owners of positive horses have to make the choice to put the horse down (euthanized) or have the animal permanently quarantined.
Transportation of positive horses is prohibited.

Sounds good, just thought I would clear that up so he could prepare and avoid delays.
Also their may be an expiration date on Coggins tests so be sure to ask how long it is good for to insure it is valid when he needs to show the
papers.
Thanks for helping!

Mike does not plan to take Don Kay back across the border at this point. He would like to keep him at his place in Loreto to start. One reason he
wants to spend a little time in La Purisima is to scope out a possible future for them both in that oasis.
He's fixin' to pack up Don Kay in a few minutes. Today's the first time he's had his hiking boots on for a while and he noticed that Solo has been
excited since she saw the boots.

I agree... The trio is a blast to have around!
IMO if someone would help Mike sell his place in El Cajon.. he'd retire to Baja for good..

From his interview with Doug, he is a renter... and is paying rent for all the months he is in Baja... He also has a job to get back to, otherwise he
might have just moved south?
