OK - from the beginning. This trip started out as a 2-3 month tour of Mexico - I planned to climb as many of the 4000m+ peaks I could near Mexico City and then loop back to Texas in time for deer season. Backup plans didn't exist from the beginning - they were conjured up as the days rolled...

Moving this party over to the Completed section - and hacking away slowly at getting the full write up put together. Link here. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=718967#post718967 :beer:

I'm back in my home in Austin, Texas and like a lot of folks who take the time to something like I did, am slowly returning to something of a daily routine. The days on the road run together looking back, so I'll do my best to put things in order and tell a few stories and post a few pictures...

Very small update. Just got back from about 3 weeks in Baja - bounced around from Cortez to Pacific the whole way down - made it to Cabo for a couple nights and back up. My girlfriend flew in to San Jose for my birthday - and I found some really great off-the-beaten path places - beaches, old...

Al- Hell of a report you sent there. Much appreciated. Good to know someone had some success recently. Did you end up climbing with them or did you hang back at base? I'm heading out in the next hour or so - today will be a scouting trip and then up from there. Take care now. Tompall

Hey man thanks for fan advice. I'll get on that before I hit the border in the morning. Nothing worse than a sweaty night's sleep....I owe you a beer some day. Did you hang primarily on the Pacific side or the Gulf area? I'm wondering about the route - thinking Picacho del Diablo the first...

Well hello beautiful people. Here's a quick update. Yesterday I swung by Mark's Off Road in Burbank for a final run-through/ repair mission. If you've never had the pleasure of working with Mark before, he's the most knowledgeable cruiser guy I've met and is a no-BS, down-to-earth person to...

Checking In Made it to Van Horn, Texas this evening - about 120 miles east of El Paso. The plan is to get close to California tomorrow, spend a couple days gearing up and catching up with friends and then turning south in to Baja pretty quick after. I'll try to update this as I have time/find...

That's a fine question, Mikey. I'm no pro, just looking to learn a little more. The only real surfing I've done was in Puerto Viejo, CR and I had a hell of a time down there. BUT - I'll let you know on that front. The mountains are actually more my forte. I'll try to climb just about...

First post. And it's to announce I'm heading to Mexico in a few weeks - driving my FJ40, taking my dog and going to try to do as much surfing, fishing and climbing as possible - 4-6 weeks worth of beer and tacos and hopefully staying out of trouble. I'm sure you can imagine the route, but...
