great writeup. i want to do a similar run in the not so far future but the job gets in the way. oh and also the fact that it is a long drive to Baja from Detroit!
i would be looking for expedition partners that preferrably are located in SoAZ or CA so i could ship my rig to before flying in. that would be the only way for me to be able to run this given the time requirements vs. job obligations...
On the other hand, what i bring to the expedition is language, local and law of the land knowledge. Tentative plan would be to either round trip from the US through Baja OR down to Cabo through Baja and then across to the mainland and back to the US through the mainland. local stay in Los Mochis courtesy of me and time off for those who would want to do the railroad run to the Copper Canyon.
This is a skeleton plan and am open to suggestions and participation. I know that our neighbors up north in the maple leaf flag country are sometimes interested in this kind of expeditions so drop me a line you Ontario folk! we can discuss rig shipping to the southwest US and all that good stuff.....
and apologies for the highjack to the original thread, but i couldn't contain myself after reading the great story and replies!
