Quick trip report-TJ to La Paz
Left TJ Tuesday at 7 AM, arrived at GN 4 PM. GN to Loreto on Wed. Loreto to La Paz Thursday. No problems, very quiet. Not a single checkpoint
stopped us. Roads good, people friendly and helpful. Had quite a bit of rain from Loreto to La Paz. Dry country until Mulege, very green and lush S
of Loreto. Temp today in La Paz 80 with clouds and slight rainfall. Here for the winter.

Glad you made it, Jack.
Wanted to let you know I got a Yaesu FT-8800 and plan on taking my Technicians license exam in early December.
Saving for an HF radio for now.

Hook...look at the mods for that radio! Capable of much more! Google FT8800 mods.
David...San Hilario for one (Mission garden re: G&G).

Jack, I admit I am jealous. La Paz is my favorite Baja city and instead of enjoying the warm and friendly adventures it offers I'm in 55 degree rainy
weather getting ready for our office asbestos removal and rework. My only IT tech is going to Denmark for a month so I don't know how far I can
venture even on a weekend. Oh well a new year is soon coming.

Thanks for all the inspiration.
