cristobal,YOU DE LOBSTER MAN ON POINT.
Who all going has radio? I have : CB (2),FRS(3) hand held,Ham 2 meters, Marine. Makes it nice if everyone can communicate with out stopping.
I think Butch is trailering his buggy to GN, Corky1 is hauling his narly dirt bike, I am draging my Geo Tracker, mainly for cargo space and as backup
when I go to Bahia Guadalupe before we meet up at GN, What about the rest of you?

Mallarimo Haloween in the full moon trip
COMMUNICATIONS
OK, I will ask one more time before I leave for Baja in the morning, What kind of comms do you people who are coming on the trip have?
Has any one else decided to join our outing? Hook are you going to try it?
I will probably check the forum Saturday the 9th before I head futher south. Adios!

Mon 4th
If you're coming thru S.F. tomorrow the 4th, give me a holler on Mar 74. I'll be in town part of the day getting fuel, paying Telnor etc. Maybe a
cold one or taco or something.

My trip likely delayed
Mac and others,
It looks increasingly likely that I will not be able to head to Baja until the Thanksgiving weekend. Wife's employer has rescinded her vacation for
that period due to her importance to some process or another. The usual mid-management F. U.
Will post if this changes yet again.

Man I'd love to make this event, but I can't leave until the afternoon of November 10th - back at work on November 15th. And, if I could make it I have CB for communications.

Whew, I can almost smell those lobsters that I'm not gonna be able to chow down on. There should be a few great trip reports out of this one, for
sure!
Good luck!

Max, it sounds wonderful!! I can visualize the eclipse at Pozo Aleman (yes JR, I have been there too!)... There was only one old man living there
then. In the Jack Swords photos at: http://community-2.webtv.net/DrDrip/swords/page3.html are pictures of the mine equipment still laying about. The link to Jack's non-mission
pictures is in my Baja Notebook (link at the bottom of my posts).
Have a great Malarrimo trip Max, and anyone else joining you!

VEHICLE problems ...
I am going to be a few days late .... I am having some FUEL PUMP problems today
I am looking at meeting up with the group ..... TUESDAY or WEDNESDAY .... I need to spend some time in TORTUGAS to take care of these " BUG" problems
that we are going to have ....     
When you find the place that you want to camp ..... leave me some directions on MALARRIMO beach ..... I will find you ... I will bring dinner
....  
There is an INTERNET cafe in town next to the POLICE station. I can check there before I head to the beach.
I am NOT sure if TORTUGAS has ICE. Better to load up in GUERRERO NEGRO or SAN IGNACIO before heading in ....
I would suggest taking the route in past EL QUEEN. There is only ONE road in..... it is a couple of miles of UP-grade before several miles of DOWN-grade. Turn to the beach only when you get to the FIRST ARROYO. You
will know it when you see it ....TRUST ME .... Any earlier the roads dead-end. You are one mile from the beach. I understand there is a nice sheltered
camping area behind sand dunes about a quarter of a mile back from the beach ....somewhere ..... I know you guys can find it ....
See you soon .....

Malarrimo Beach Trip from Hell
Well I am back! I can only hope that Butch and Corky made it back to Prescott with all there rig! I will make a long story short! No one other than me
and Butch and Corky showed up! Internet is closed in GN on holidays and Sundays so we did not get Cristobals message untill I got back today to San
Felipe.
All the roads were in excellent shape ,freshly graded and with new pavement in the middle of the gravel section near Tortugas. We waited for someone
to show up sunday in GN and then in Vicanizo and made it to east of El Queen late Sunday. Waiting at the end of the road near El Queen Butch, Corky
and Butch's son Mike took their 6 passenger buggy to check the rest of the road, at 3 miles they broke a rear wheel bearing and lost all th oil, then
a screaming 50 MPH sand storm came in , I had busted the rocker arm on the Tracker so I took Butch back to Vicanizo to pick up his surbaban and
trailer for the buggy, 172 miles one way! I only hope they made it back to Prescott ok! They drove about 2000 miles to eat one sloppy joe sandwitch
and drive back, if we had more 4wd rigs as was promissed by the people who did not show up we could have waited the storm out and still had a good
trip, as it was my TACOMA was the only thing left running.
As far as I can tell this subject on the Nomads forum attracted more views and replies than any thig has for a long time and it was disapointing that
with a frezzer full of steak and lobster waiting when the fishermen sobered up and the wind quit that all we had to eat was a sloppy joe sandwich
sunday night and then ate sand!
Thanks to Butch anmike and Corky1 for driving nearly 2000 miles foor 1 sanndwitch and no lobster.
As for ,me I made over 1000 miles of offroad and backroad Baja by my self, tore off the Tacoma bumper and hitch 3 times and had a great time with just
me and the wife and the coyotes, all my futher trips will be like this.

WOW DUDE !!!
That sucks. But, these things happen sometimes. Sorry though for when it does.
Now, about the beach access and treasure hunting. Was there anything good that happened? Did you make it to the beach?
Better luck Amigo.

We were looking forward to a Malarrimo report, and you delivered... albeit not quite the report that we expected or would wish upon anyone!
The best advice is to announce a trip and whoever shows up, make it seem that is everyone who you expected to come (even if nobody attends)! Then
continue with your planned adventure and have a great time.
Don't give up as when the Nomads can join with you, it is a lot of fun.
Even though a couple people tried to scare the Nomads from joining me, our group trip up to Matomi canyon's oasis was a complete success...

Mcgyver, what a trip. It's too bad about the wind and the food. Sure would like to know if you made it to the beach for some treasure hunting and
have a story or two there. Seems like a true Baja adventure though. Thanks for the report. I wish I could have made it.

PS: So my lobster is still there?
