Mike's words, "I will be coming in thru the mountains because the coast is just too much trouble". He will eventually make his way past the Cabo San
Lucas Airport (CSL) to the finish line.

Mike is enjoying the local hospitality. He was invited to stay in a small casita near the beach with his own bed. Don-Kay has another local burro
"Einstein" he sings with there. And Solo...well she's solo. He currently plans to take off Sat. am 3/12 for Cabo.

Amigos, Mike has holed awhile to time his arrival in Cabo to meet with his daughters. Yes, he has changed his mind and will travel inland thru
Pescadero and on to San Jacinto thru the lower hills in the shadow of the Sierra de la Laguna. The road wiggles and then connects with La Candelaria
and on to Cabo San Loco! Don Kay is moving his diggs to hang with Einstein, his new donkey brother. You should hear the braying !!    Mike has been invited to another friends rustic cabanas at Casa Simpatica. Mike
wants a bed to sleep in? I believe he is staying until Saturday. Tonites
menu is Lasagna w/garlic bread! Coctails anyone? Love the Life I
live.... Tio

I hope Mike become a regular on Baja Nomad and will tease us with chapters, much the way Graham did and Mike Humfreville did, before they were
published!

Todos town yesterday for a little business and tacos. Mike walked around town while we did our los de haceres. Fish tacos with volcano salsa. Even
tho TS has grown it is still a lovely town with plenty of local beauties and rancheros! No artistas sighted, thank God. Mike had walked thru town
and he said the policia had to break up a group of gawkers as he was blocking the road. VH1 may be on the agenda tonite at the beach.
Imagine--Bikini Babes and Surfers writhing to the rythms around the bonfire!! Spring Break! Imagine Mike & Donkey with girls hanging off them
like rock stars?! I couldn't make this up. Sometimes it pays off to party with the kids! Smiles, Tio

For those of you that have been posting I would like to say thank you it has allowed me to track Mikes progress and see some of the pictures of him
along the way. I’m Mike’s old neighbor/co-worker and now New York buddy miles and miles away. I traveled to Mexico with him in the past and stayed at
his Dad’s place with him and I know that being in Mexico for me was complete serenity. I have not posted since Mikes journey began because I didn’t
really think a posting from someone so far away would do anyone any good. I am however getting all Mike’s position e-mails everyday and have received
one phone call from him back when he first started his trip. Mike is a great friend and more like a brother to me and I am so happy to see everyone
has pitched in and really made his dream come true. I wish I were taking this adventure with him, although I’m sure we would consume too much Bourbon
along the way. My hope is to fly to San Diego when he gets back and spend some time with him; I can’t wait to hear all about his adventure. Again
thanks to all that kept this going it has been very wonderful to see his progress. If anyone reads this and see’s Mike please tell him his buddy Rob
from New York say’s way to go buddy can’t wait to hear all about it.

Nomads, yesterday Mike and I traveled the exact track he will follow as he leaves Pescadero. Beautiful warm day. Cooler full of beer to keep
hydrated! East out of town then turning south towards El
refugio. Talked the some ranchers and scouted the rustic community?? of El Refugio--abandoned park and small church. Many beautiful arroyos and a
little rough going but my Tacoma is perfect truck for the narrow passings. Don Kay will have no problem with his four hooves drive! Mike had not
been here before. Noted the various crossroads and came out of the foothills where we had entered before and where he will continue south to San
Jacinto to Candelaria and Cabo. I kindly declined his offer to walk with him! Bucket list Cadillac Margaritas at the Hotel California We were greeted by Don Henley in the bar! Viva Mexico. Will post later
when it's time to hit the trail. Tio
