From the position on your map, looks like he is about 1/2 mile from the Los Cabos Humane Society (which is just off Hwy 19).

Mike's Last Night on the Trail location:



Here is the road Mike is on, where it meets Hwy. 19... just south of the police station:



On the Nomad page, you can just make out where Mike is from Hwy. 19... at that arroyo crossing.

A trailer for Don Kay's ride home is still needed
Anyone know someone who has one in the Cabo area?

Wow, what is missing... oh yah, the rest of the story!??

How was a trailer secured, or was one obtained??? Is Don-Kay with Mike?

I was working this afternoon, so was wondering about how was the meeting with his family... any press at the finish line?

Maps for the last day coming...

Congrats Mike. Great job.

Kinda thought he'd sit down for a couple of cold ones at the end of the road. Guess not.

That's it?


Why not the tippy tip? No sticking your feet/hoofs/paws in the surf? Seems kinda anticlimactic to me.
