That's incredible. From Hawaii.
For dtbushpilot & others: Still doing a dance here for a horse trailer. Been arranging for three weeks & still workin' on it, but getting
closer. I'm leaving for La Paz as soon as a trailer is connected to the truck. Leave for Cabo (from La Paz) Thursday to arrive police station at
about 9 AM. Will ask for assistance from police in determining shortest distance there, to where we meet Mike. Then, a trip to the presidents office
in Cabo for assistance with electronic media. Then, up the mountain in cab or with police with bedroll to spend the night (Thursday). Friday should
walk in from airport about 10 (a guess). His daughters and grand-daughter will arrive by cab about 10:30. Mike's wish is that someone will be there
to shake his hand. Wasn't a soul waiting for Graham when he finished.
Cheers!

It´s been wonderful following Mike´s journey from beginning to end and back to the days when he was just dreaming and planning, and running down to
bury his stashes along the way.
Really sad and disappointed that I can´t be there to welcome Mike personally and shake his hand. But I´ll be there in spirit.
What an adventure and an inspiration... proud of you Mike and your amazing trail buddies. Can´t wait to hear all the details when you head back
north.

Just checked Mike's location and at 2:11 pm PDT, he is just south of Rancho San Ramon at the junction with the road west to Rancho Carrizalito (Baja
Almanac). This is maybe 3 miles north of Rancho El Saucito on the AAA map.

David - you kept all of us BajaNomaders in the loop for all these months and we too say:
THANKS SO MUCH.
The maps made it fantastic and real and enabled us to follow Mike's trail ... we even knew that we would find him alongside of highway 1 when we drove
north months and months ago.
I sure wish someone else would contrive a wonderful exploit so that we could continue couch traveling !!
I just finished reading THE ENCHANTED VAGABONDS, a true story about a los angeles very young couple who built a kayak-sailboat-canoe in the 1930's and
went from san diego all the way down to panama. The books tells of their encounters with friendly and not-so-friendly indians, malaria sickness,
near death ocean storms - just incredible. I would have lasted all of 5 minutes - if that !!!
congrats again Mike and good luck with the readjustment to life, as it were.

Help, please . . .
Still need a horse trailer for Don-kay! Planned to leave Loreto for La Paz this morning with one of two trailers promised but neither has come
through. Can pick one up Loreto to La Paz tonight, or on the way to Cabo in the morning. Plan is to return to Loreto with Don -Kay, would then
return the trailer where ever it may come from. Any ideas? Will also post in discussion . . .

Well, may show up in Cabo without a trailer. Here's the latest from our last hold out this morning:
Jeff, trying to find my trailer. Thought it was at goat ranch just outside of town, but my buddy, Taco, told me he thinks his cousin might have taken
it and the muleito to their cattle ranch in San Juan until Sun. Will try and confirm its where-abouts and get back to you. I apologize for the
delay, but you know how it is here sometimes. Worst case is it might be another day until I find out where it is. Do I have your phone number?
Please provide it and I can use a friends phone to call you. Talk to you soon, Patrick.

again heading south from the airport... as of 2:08 PDT/MST

It looks like he is going to set up camp there tonight? The 3:08 position...
At 3:13 pm he sent out his typical daily check signal where he camps.

MAR. 17, 2011
Mike, Don-Kay and Solo have set up camp about a mile from the police station, and just a short ways north of Hwy. 19.
Total miles today are about 8... making the southbound total since Oct. 1: 1,137. If we add in the extra 8 miles when he made the U-turn to SurfDoc's
on Mar. 2, the trip total becomes 1,145 miles on foot. He still has a mile to go, however!
