Hey... Newer member to SDAR here.

Hope you have a great trip. When you are on the Pacific side, there is a Home for Children just south of San Vicente. The name is Rancho Santa Marta.

That is my family. Google the place. If in need of a place to visit, take a break or run for cover....please stop in there. Can't miss it. 5 miles south of San Vicente, look for a large sign of a hand holding a baby in its palm. West side entrance off the 1. Should be on your maps. Tell them James sent you. They are Christian Missionaries so just manage yourselves accordingly. Also, in town ( San Vicente ), there is a guy...his name is Larry. His website is www.bajatrailrides.com . He lives and rides in Baja. Only met him once through my father in law but, have talked to many who speak highly of his knowledge of Baja. Just throwing it out there.

Have a great and safe ride..

Kug - no doubt that our bikes, our gear and our bodies will be "ridden hard and put away wet" as they say...

[97xr400r 122]

Awsome! I'll be checking up on your progress. Have a blast!

[Dan Diego 40]

Will be following your progress, too.

Rain would make some of those routes...interesting.

That's a lot of miles each day. Very doable with good weather conditions but if it rains or their are mechanical issues it could result in problems. But it sounds like a lot of fun and will make for great stories. If you have problems and need support PM me for my ph# and I'll help if needed.
