Haven't updated this in a bit....:ylsmoke:
Working diligently to get this thing ready for Moab in a couple weeks...
Body isn't pretty... but driving sounds like more fun than bodywork :smiley_drive:
Here's the simple flowchart I followed for shooting off road goodness:
1. stalk the internet and find group gatherings in Moab or Ouray
2. happen to be on the trail when they are
3. BS with them and bike/hike the trail while shooting the group
4. finish the trail and BS some more... give...

-Distributor cap, rotor, and condensor

-2 oil filters
-spark plugs
-ignition coil
I need to get this thing running in a somewhat reliable form for some trips to Moab in a couple...
Day 19- Relaxing in San Felipe
Ahhh... San Felipe... we decided to spend our last couple of days relaxing in San Felipe before we headed back to the states... it was a good choice.
Sunrise over the tidal flats...
Nicole added significantly to her beach combing collection...
Then we hit...
Near the summit of our crossing of the Sierra San Pedro Martir... I think that's Spanish for "not the place to bring a trailer"
Another piece of the road gone... bypass was interesting
And after we popped out at Valle de Trinidad... we made it back to pavement!!
And we made it back to...
Then I got to cruise in some deep sand for a while...
You can see how badly the area flooded...
Cruising on my little shelf road... you can see where the flooding washed away a large part of the vineyard.
And then the road was gone...
So I decided to backtrack and cross the riverbed...
Day 18- Into the heart of darkness
OK well maybe it wasn't QUITE that dramatic... but we set out on quite the adventure... cross the mountains from San Quintin to San Felipe. We didn't want to go all the way to Ensenada and take the highway, so it was off into the mountains we went. Time to...
Well there are 2 ways you can get between Cabo Pulmo and Cabo San Lucas. The coastal road that we took was a slow 4 hour drive (10mph or so on washboard)... you can also go north from Cabo Pulmo and hit pavement in 6-7 miles or so. Then, it's an easy cruise to San Jose Del Cabo. The coastal...
I forget the name of the place we camped... it was a little tough trying to find a place to camp in the mud hole that is the San Quintin area. Some campgrounds just seem to be gone altogether after the storms... we were the only people in the restaurant that night, odd for such a big place...
Day 17- Bahia Concepcion to San Quintin
Long day on the road this time... we really wanted to get back up north so that we could be in a good position for our adventure the following day. This was the first time I had ever been north of Chapala and things are quite different up there...
Yes... they will search you if they see the hookah. You'll probably have to do a VERY good job of explaining exactly what you use if for as well. It seems to be one of those things that, unless it's THAT important to you, would be better left at home.
Also, regarding the dust... there's a...
After we had our catch for the day (an I had been stung by a jellyfish)... Daniel took us to this isolated beach out on an island to cook what we caught.
The guy had come out here years ago and hollowed out these rocks for cooking... pretty sweet...
The goods...
The group... at left are...
