Why don't you leave this on your website? If somebody needs to know this they send you a u2u and you'll repost it away. Leave something for the adventures out there. To much info. The 1000 is past here so they don't need it:P:barf::P

Great chart you posted here David. I just printed this out and will tape it inside my glove compartment.

Yup, she is so sweet that I married her! :light:

Writing trip reports is fun for me, and keeps past trip alive long after they are over... so I almost always have a notebook along and record data on my Baja trips: mileages between points, km. markers, gasoline fill ups, time in the border line, etc.

It amazes me how when a question is asked, you are able to reply "oh yeah that was asked on June of 2010 " and you bring up the thread. AMAZING are you O.C.D. neat freak,etc. You seem very organized, wish I were like that. Thanks:?::?::?::?:
