Hey Lance,
Excellant trip report and enjoyed the photos from J. I should have been on this trip too but have not fully completed my cert yet. Soon!
Your concerns about the SMB suspension were same as mine. You just need more bump travel in the front and hyd stops may help, but be careful as there is very little clearance between the pumpkin and x-member. The dust getting in was a problem for me too. In fact several times I had mice in my SMB suggesting the entrances are large.
I would really appreciate it if the 110 driver pulling the A/T Teardrp would contact me via PM. I am considering purchase of the same trailer and would like to hear about his experience.

The group is now at Adobe Guadalupe in the wine region. We have been reduced to 9 people at this point but are still going strong. Last supper tonight and then back to reality.
Awesome time, well done Lance on the report. I'm sure more will be forthcoming as people get back to the US.
cheers

I updated my previous post with some new text and a bunch of pics...
I am still sorting pics and will put up a gallery for those who were on the trip to get pics of their rigs (if you went please pm me for gallery info).
It was a hoot and I can't wait for the next Overland Certified Alumni Trip. It was soooo nice traveling with people who you could trust to have it together

Thanks for the photo update Lance. Terrific :sombrero:

Surely for many travelers the cost of Overland Training's courses is a good value purely for the education. But traveling with other OT Certified folks and being on the 'same page' is a nice bonus.
Looking forward to taking advantage of this in the future.

Lance,
Great post!
I have to say that it was quite an honor to "roll" with this group. Everyone contributed and supported one another. Thank you to all. I hope to add more in the near future...
In the mean time, here are some pics from our adventure.

Great trip! I'm still in Mexico, man if you thought Mondays WX started bad you should have hung around for the rest of the day...
It was great to see some old faces and meet some new ones, I really enjoyed hanging out with you guys. Kudos to Graham and Connie for organizing and Al for leading - you know some great spots Al.
By popular request, I've created a flickr group where we can stick all our photos from the trip. You can find it here:
http://www.flickr.com/groups/otbaja2009/
Anyone can contribute to the group. I've started it off by uploading my photos.
Until the next trip...
Cheers,
Nick.

Awesome photos, Nick. Thanks for creating the group pool
Sorry we misled you, James. Nobody had any fun on this trip. Nope; none at all.
