I presume you all know that the dashed high-light line is where Mike and Don-Kay got a lift... The other place this happened was between Vizcaino and
Bahia Asuncion.

Mike, Don-Kay and Solo have wondered across harsh deserts long enough and have come out to Highway One, and are camped about 4-5 miles north of Santa
Rita...
No parades, no crowds of school kids, no cold beer... You wanted raw hardship, well I think that may be the case.
I estimated their miles today at 14... Now, the satellite images and maps:
It is a good thing he has his SPOT tracker turned on as this desert is criss crossed with many roads, almost none are on the Baja Almanac or AAA map
he has been using the past two days!

In Lopez, Mike commented he had lost 40 pounds since his trip began.

Mike, Don-Kay and Solo have walked south to Santa Rita, then part-way towards Puerto Chale today. They are camped at Rancho El Médano, after walking
about 9 miles today.
So far, Mike has walked 144 miles in February and 959 miles total since he began near Tecate on October 1, 2010.

Mike and company walked 12 miles today and are camped just over 2 miles south of Puerto Chale, on the water's edge.
Here is the space look at the distance to the next Baja Nomad oasis for Mike, Don-Kay and Solo... La Aguja and the home of 'rob':

Watching progress! I hope Mike tapped the locals at Puerto Chale for route info - he must be an old hand at this by now - as there is an easy way and
a hard way to get to El Estero/Rancho Santa Fe.
Although Mike is moving over lonely and remote country, the locals here are "pure Baja" and he could not be in better hands.
Laid in supplies for Donk, but will wait til Mike gets here to address whatever he needs - I am certain he will want a side trip to La Paz.
From the ranch south to Todos Santos, ranches are more plentiful and the countryside a little kinder - about 75 miles down the beach, longer by road.

From La Aguja to Todos Santos looks to be a 5 day walk... maybe 4 to your place? But, there are many variables... Best to stay in contact with 'rob'
and get an idea when Mike leaves his place to continue south... You can u2u rob your home's GPS or location so Mike will know where to go.
That goes for any other Nomads who are between La Aguja and Cabo San Lucas... If you would like to meet Mike or give him and Don-Kay/ Solo a place to
rest, let 'rob' know so he can print out your location for Mike.

Mike came a ways today after all - he is now camped at Rancho Bueno. The mileage chart (ATCF -as the crow flies lookss like this)
Rancho Bueno to El Estero (next big arroyo/estuary south. Estuary is closed, so he can walk down the beach)
9.5m
El Estero - Boca Guadaloupe (next estuary) 8.6m
BG - Punta Conejo (next sharpish point) 12.5m
PC - Rancho la Aguja 9.0m
TOTAL (rounded) 40 miles, say 42 miles
Mike can do 14 miles/day if he wants, could be here in 3 days! Will start looking on Monday and have beer cold for Tuesday.
