Ive been gone but now back and willing to help. Is anyone organizing the search? Sherrif? Check in at Pio pico? I wonder what they need most, hikers, dirt bikers, SxS or what? steve

Anything going on in Baja the weekend of 17-19 Nov?
Dirtdiver replied to Dirtdiver's topic in Informal Local Rides & Who's Going Riding!
I dont know if there are any folks that would know what impact the baja 1000 would have on us going tomorrow up to Laguna hansen and then down to Ojos and then over to Coyote cals? It seems like the Baja 1000 is over with the ceremony today in La Paz. I dont mind the border traffic since we will be on bikes but I don't want to get run over by racers or wanna be racers either. Thoughts? -

Looks like a good trip. I have not been to Baja in 16 months I am looking forward to getting down there for a quick trip this weekend. Gotta get back in the groove! DD -

That is pretty much the nicest layout for a RR I have ever seen! Looks like a fun ride and a great recap. Thanks. DD -

OK, I got the GPX files. It looks like I would be OK except for the section beyond Ojos and before I turn to go through the mountains to end up in Uropan. It looks like a 15 -20 mile section of overlap. Hmmm, any other suggestions for northern Baja that weekend? DD -

Oh, just that little thing! Ive been overseas the last year and just getting back into the swing of things. Hmmm, Im looking for a link that shows better resolution so I can see what exact route they are taking. Sorry for the seemingly clueless question. steve -

Guys, I thinking of going small bikes - Tecate to Coyote Cals with one of my childhood friends. We would go Tecate, Ojos, Urapan, etc... If there any racing or anything going on that weekend we need to be concerned about? DD -

That sounds like a great chance for someone that is looking for low cost turn key trip to see the length of Baja! Thanks for offering! DD -

Lost dog in Ocotillo Wells, $10,000 reward. Please read
Dirtdiver replied to Oracle's topic in Open Discussion
I see my dogs as family also. In fact better than some of my family! As a side note. One of my friends grew up on a farm in KS. In his family dogs were not pets they were just part of the animals. They would no more bring a dog into the house than a cow. Maybe it was just a family thing but he led me to believe it was more of a farmer outlook towards animals. I guess my point to this post is that I agree that human emotions towards dogs run the whole spectrum. There are probably some people that would sell their house for the health of their dog/cat. Maybe. DD -
What are the "trail" tires that came with your bike? I think it would be an advantage for you to have a more dirt oriented tire than a less dirt oriented tire. Even in the gravel, graded roads a street tire can be a handful. Invariably you will ride your bigger bike in the dirt and either: 1) you crash multiple times and you go away thinking that dirt riding sucks and you won't be back or 2) you crash multiple times and you go away thinking that you ought to get a smaller bike to perfect your crashing routine. haha By crashing I am not talking catastrophic life changing crashes I am talking about you jam on your front break at 5-10 mph, the front end locks up, the bike goes down, you get some scratches and break a lever or something. I personally have been through 472 crashes of this sort. :-) Anyway, welcome and have fun on your dirt riding intro!
