They made it...
Neal and CG just arrived to BajaCactus a few moments ago (Tuesday, 7:29pm)... they are both tired and ready for a nice night sleep... they surely
deserve it... Well done guys!!!
Apparently they were able to drive to El Rosario with only the front wheel drive.
Tomorrow, we will help Neal, who will remain in El Rosario, find a mechanic and the parts needed to fix the back differential, then he is going back
to the States... meanwhile we will do our best to make him feel at home here at BajaCactus.
An interesting adventure indeed...

Cool video coming down the Widowmaker...
I am so relieved to hear that Neal and Chris are now resting comfortably at Baja Cactus (where Baja is more than a dream)!
Teddi, I will edit my post about the song's creator... I mis-heard, sorry!

NO NO- Not all the rigs got water in them... mine didn't, as far as I know, Paul's didn't... both the newer Tacomas. I only heard that CG's Dakota got
real wet inside... not sure about the 4Runner?
Thanks for responding to the thread... You missed some epic recovery work that night after you left us... pulling Neal's camper to the top of the
mountain!

Hello all!
We made it back to BajaCactus about 8pm.
Neal treated me to a great dinner at Mama Espinoza’s, he tried to talk me into going to the girlie bars and drinking all night, but I told him I'm
getting too old for that kind of stuff
Another great adventure! I'll post more after a good nights sleep.
Chris

Paul, on the contrary, after we made it through the first tough obstacle where you went in front of my rig to spot for me, I knew I was in good hands,
that all of us would make it in and out of the Mision. I should have told you that; don't doubt the over 100 years of cumulative 4 wheeling experience
that the team has!
Thanks for all your leadership in this adventure!

I'm leaving this afternoon for El Centro and meet with Tunaeater tomorrow morning to go pre-running for the 500 race. But if Neal needs anything
brought down call me on my cell phone and I will run it down to him. 661-863-8161. I don't know if it will work once I'm in Baja since it's a new cell
phone.

Art, you are very welcome! I'm flattered that you folks listened to my lead! Especially 'cause I was faking the knowledge and just attempting to
instill confidence so that we could get up and out!

Thanks Paul... It worked!
Check the thread on Tacoma World, not as many Baja nuts there, so just the photos with some tiny notes is all I am doing there (50% posted this
morning...)
I am going to need some time to post a trip report here on Nomad, with so much to write about because more can relate to the place here!

Yeah, I feel the same way. I have been lurking on this thread from the beginning, knowing I was not able to go, way jealous about those going. I look
at my calendar and see the first opening in late June. Who knows, I just may go.
