My 'leave the wife' comment was a cheap attempt at humor! If there is someone who needs to ride shotgun in my Kia, I can boot the dog to the back
seat. If the top is off, she prefers it there anyway!
I will be driving a Kia Sportage two door (like a Tracker) and pulling an off road utility trailer. I will have room for gas and gear.
My chances of making the run are at about 90% at this point.

All good points. 
My wife is of childbearing years, concerned about Zika, and not a huge fan of Baja. Because of Zika, she doesn't want me to go. We also have a son
who is three and a half, and probably wouldn't enjoy the trip...
Not totally out of the question. We'll see.

I will very likely be there. Any chance of a great, safe parking/staging area for those of us bringing trailers and such?

Thanks Richard....
And I think that Hotel Mulege has a larger lot than the Hacienda.
Folks being away from their motel for a few days might want to arrange secure parking for the period of time away from Mulege.
And thanks for those indicating their potential attendance...several trucks and maybe a half dozen motos....and a buggy or two probably.
P.S. At this time we do not have a centralized "staging area"....we may figure that out by Nov 20th, but don't count on it. I suggest attendees make
their own arrangements....we will, however, have a location determined for the Nov 23rd morning start....the Pemex south of town might be a good spot
as it is large, has gas, and a tienda

[b]Riders meeting rescheduled for 5:00 pm Nov 22nd[/b]
Getting packed and excited to be in Baja by Nov 7th....a few days in Bahia Asuncion and on to Mulege Nov 14th.
The folks who want to do the Loop Rally have indicated their interest and we have some bikes, some four-wheeled vehicles and a fantastic amount of
very scenic Baja ahead of us. Some folks have been to many of our destinations, but Comondu will be a treat for those who experience it the first
time.

Have a really great time Ged, and just because big DT David is going doesn't mean you get to break any more bones, okay?

David,
Thanks for the thought....I will certainly be careful in the silt and won't accept too many "pin 'er" challenges. DT tends to be a gentleman most of
the time...and I will remind someone to get pics of the ruins in La Purisma...and Comondu...and hopefully San Javier.

Sounds great!
The Purísima ruins (or lack of) is the biggest question. They should be on the west side of the crypts, per the older photos... and maybe weeds or
something else is hiding them. Have a great time!!

Well, after a week in Bahia Asuncion getting the road stupor out of my system after 5 days driving south, and some good company and relaxing times, I
arrived in Mulege yesterday ( Nov 14th), I am situated at La Hacienda for two weeks.
I got the bike off the truck and went over the eyeball inspection only to see a weeping shock seal....and after an hours ride confirmed the
observation....not a major issue at this time but already Googling for parts/fix info.
So, if any folks planning on doing this several day loop (details to be confirmed when folks gather Wednesday , Nov 22 at El Candil (Scotty's) at 6:00
pm....hope to see you then...earlier if you are around and you can track me down at La Hacienda....
It looks like a small and manageable group has indicated their participation interest....Nov 22nd will let us know what's what.
More as the week progresses and I get more local intel.....
Don't believe everything you think....

Yesterday was my planned departure date from northern CA, but catching the first cold I have had in years took the excitement out of leaving on time.
I am thinking I am about four days out from Mulege.
I will be coming down CA 395 or NV 95, and would be happy to bring your needed parts if you wind up locating them some where between here and there.
My schedule and route is flexible, but I would prefer not to drive through the megalopolis of southern CA!
If you could ask around about a local upholstery shop that could do some quick and dirty repairs on my Kia seats, It would save me a step. Nothing
fancy, just functional for a few more trips before I retire the Sportage!

AK,
Thanks for the pickup offer...I am e-mailing my wrench to see if it is likely just a seal problem...keep an eye on this thread or your U2U as we only
have two days....
do you cross at Mexicali or Tecate?
The humorous side of the issue....

AK gringo, there is a lady in town who does moto seats. She did mine and several of my friends. She does all types of upholstery. She did my new seat
cover the same day, labor and material was less than a Big Mac.

Mexicali is where I will probably cross if I come down 395, but if it is snowing there, I might drive through Las Vegas and Algodones is an option as
well.
If there is a reason to cross at Tecate, I like that route as well, but I am traveling down Mx 5. For me the journey is the
destination.

Riders meeting at Scotty's 5:00 pm Nov 22nd
Went for a 30 km ride west today and figured out the turns to take....all manageable double track...soft sand sections, and rougher stuff, .... and a
ranchero pickup was doing okay...
Kurt G arrived at the Hacienda and AKGringo is on his way nursing a pneumonia (Alaskan superbug?)...
