Boy you have come a long way. I will never forget the first time I met you in San Lucas Cove and you had a beat up old truck with an even more beat up overhead camper. It was the one where Alex brought in a infestation of fleas from a camp dog on the other side of the peninsula and he looked like he had measels from all the bites.

I had the tire fixed at a shop near the PEMEX station south of Mulege where the mechanic dis-mounted the tire and expertly pulled, from the inside of the tire, the cactus spine out of the tire with a needle nosed pliers, and then patched the hole.

Another thing to consider when off-road in baja.

That was 12 years ago. I reread the story now and had to smile at my exaggeration of the size of fish we caught.

Just read the flea story,super,look how young the boy is!

Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.

I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.

Fun times and your usual excellent photos---I really like the one with Alex pulling the boat---nice, very nice.

I have a picture of one of those obstacles in my big toe---they do jump out and get you or your tires!

Excellent trip report, Igor. My favorite kind - lots of pix:yes:

You had my interest from your first picture - one that could be a cover for AAA magazine - right through that last incredible light shot. I know you don't wanta share your secret camping location, but definitely it looks like a good time was had by all.
