The scenery was great. Wish I had taken more than 3 pictures.

I think I caught Larry by surprise when I took this picture. We were having a blast.

I put a post on thumpertalk looking for someone to ride with. Larry offered to show me around for free if I would help him reopen a trail that had
grown over. We hacked thru the jungle to reopen the trail and then 4 of us rode it. I definitely consider him a friend now.

I've been wanting to ride that road that goes up the coast from Erindira and connects back to Rt. 1 around Santo Tomas (I think it goes through).
I'm always in too much of a hurry to get down here to Mulege.

Yes..... at least it did. Road condition will be as is...reports a month old cannot be accurate. Also here's a great place for a first night's
campsite. A place called The White Tanks just out of Erindira. Big photo on left. Primo views from the site.
Other pics are top - Agua Verde and bottom - Catavina boulder fields.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Yes it goes through. Beautiful section of coast...

Where did that second map come from. I have as much detail on my Baja Almanac but yours is nicer looking.

That is the 2003 Baja California Almanac... more detail, bigger scale than the 2009 one.
Here are the two, side by side, 2003 L and 2009 R:

sounds like you had an awesome trip - what an adventure hacking away the growth. Made the journey all the more worth it, I'm sure.

Working with Larry and 2 local guys that spoke no English was one of the best parts of the trip. Funny how little the language barrier mattered. We
laughed all day.

I'm headed out from Mulege over to the coast with a couple of locals (Pak and Daniel) next weekend but Pac speaks english just fine. They have hopes
of leaving my bones in some ravine. Leaving at dawn and getting back after dark. I gather from their stories that no one has been over the Westbound
leg this Winter except one quad and a couple of bikes. Goat track. I will probably learn some humility. Again.

Motorcycles and one quad. These guys run the local repair shop and have been bashing around in the hills between Mulege and Purisma for quite a while.
Probably it will be fairly exhausting and I will, as all too often, over do it.
Don't get the idea that I haven't had a long history of gross stupidity on bikes. I won my first short track race in 65 and my last Speedway bike win
was six years ago on my 65th. birthday. Rode the Isle of Man twice. Terrifying!
In other words, no brains.
