Mike,
We'll be at Race Mile 481 (Punta Bufeo turnoff), which at this date is Honda's Pit #10.
Honda 11X is the moto we'll be cheering on. ETA of first riders through is 15:13 pm. Last year we cheered on Honda 1X, but management pulled our guy
off this year and 1X is back to a 2-man team (Hengeveld/Campbell).
We also have good friends on Honda 10X.
-Bufeo

We had planned...
on being at RM 407, after dropping off the panga in Bahia, but now that the course may be changed, so are our plans. TODAY's plans are that we may go
down to Gypsy's after Contingency, then hit the road south to watch the racers hit the pavement at RM 305 or RM 319 . We may spend the night at Laguna
Chapala, RM 438 then back up to Ensenada for Saturday night ,or on to Bahia...Depends on the weather the rest of this week and if we can get the panga
ready. We'll know more in the next couple of days.

Rain
If it rains Mike, I can get you down there as I'm going that way anyway. Land or air, makes no difference.

Paulina,
While you are in Chapala, keep your eyes pealed for a red 1 ton 4x4 with an atv on top and towing a trailer house. Lots of crome--Oregan
plates--Accompanied by a Jeep towing a boat on trailer. These people are Mike and Donna Russel from Bonanza Oregon. You'd have to travel far to meet
better people. I'd love to see you guys get together.
Your star boarder--Jimmy

Jimmy,
Dern and I will keep an eye or four out for Mike and Donna. I also read that Bedman was going to deliver your photo to Dona Anita. I have another, so
as he said, she could probably corner the market on Jimmy Smith photos! Glad to see you on the computer again. Please give our best to Char.
Fondly,
Paulina >*)))><

Pre-ran already, and will be down next Wednesday. Saw many guys on Monday around Chapala, while we had rain at the southend of the course. Sal is on
his way down Thursday to review the "bad" course conditions from the coast over to Laguna Chapala Possible course change in this area, due the silt conditions the teams have encountered on pre-running

Mike, I don't believe there has been a strip designated at Laguna Chapala. I landed on the strip of road that ran south of Arturo Groso"s ranch house
many times. Arturo swore that a D.C. 6 with a load of contraband parrots had landed there with engine trouble. I passed there earlier this month and
that portion was under water.

Mike-
I think that airstrip on the Almanac map is the old one that was used for the abandoned mine nearby. I'm not certain though. In any case, I think
several years ago the "authorities" plowed a few ditches across it just like they did on the old dry lake bed where flyers used to set down at Punta
Bufeo.
On your second question, we hope to be in residence at Bufeo by next Tue afternoon, so will be there Thur also. That's just in case you decide to
land at the PB Muni instead of BdSLG X. Whatever, I'll probably be monitoring 122.8 over those days. We've always got extra cervezas in the fridge.
You'll be welcome.

Course Change Rumor
Instead of dealing with the silt beds where the race was going to turn from the Pacific coast (near Pta. Blanca)towards Chapala, it may head up to
Hwy. 1 sooner. That road reaches Hwy. One, 8 miles north of Catavina. Then, it will run on Hwy. 1 for 40 miles to Chapala.
