Hope the sun shines tomorrow and I can meet up with Mike and his buddies on the road.

I bet they all felt that 4.3 earthquake that was epicentered close by.

Great photos John, thanks for posting. Those dogs look so cute ambling along beside the burro.

I see clearing skies over the Sierra. Hope all is well up there.

Someone needs to make some little leather shoes, like bags, for the dogs.

Didn't Graham go through 7 on his first trip? Ouch.

I have no idea what it is like to wear a pair of shoes down during a hike. Shows that I need to get off my computer...

At least hiking shoes are easier to break in these days compared to the older models Graham had to wear during the 1980s. I also recall he took hand-me-downs back then that may have had the already-worn-in advantage.

Yep-- looking at the pics, and reading what John said, Mike has been adopted by a Baja dog. Looks like a collie mix, a great trail dog I`m sure. Hope Max makes it, but I`m sure Mike will have many chances to add to the pack (animal pack that is!). GOOD LUCK MIKE AND DOGS!!!!!

I will likely be unable to post Mike's location for the next 3 days, as we will be out-of-town to be with a family member who is not well.

I will post each day's location of Mike when we are back. If his GPS location arrives tomorrow before we leave, I will get that up.

You have a double negative, so I think that means you CAN do it! :spingrin:

Maybe we can ask Mike to stop for a few days and rest so we don't lose track of him...
