    Looks like past Visciano (on hwy food and fuel) about 1 hour to San Ignacio. Hope they get up real early as tomorrow is going to be a very long day to Loreto. About 90 miles out of San Ignacio 1 1/2 miles off the road is where the Cali Grey whales breeding grounds are. Later George

    Are the time stamps on the SPOT site an hour off? Or are they finishing up their days after dark? Thank goodness they have a Baja Vet with them. I bet they are having a blast!

    When we did our trip down there, my hands were all buzzed to hell by the end of 2 days and 400 miles.

    Can anyone figure out how to get a 'scale' on the spot tracking page? e.g. something that indicates distance on the map?

    Santa Rosalia (near the coast) is 46 miles from San Ignacio from one thing I read. That should give you some scale

    Nope, I crashed...


    And when they asked me my name I didn't know:excuseme:

    Here's a couple more pics of the house.

    Every living room ought to have TWO flat-screen Tv's in it, and at least one should ALWAYS have hockey on it!

    Here's a pic of the kitchen... keep in mind that this dump is on a cliff that has a 180 degree ocean view and you hear the waves hitting the beach below...

    The next day, the boys "claimed" they were tired and went to Starbucks where they wasted a bunch of time and a lot of money.
    They had no idea what tired actually was.... I slept about 1/2 hour that night.

    FINALLY on the road at 6:45 am on th 27th!
    Me, Septic Skeptic and Yosarian had to ride because there were not enough seats in the truck!!

    Eventually it became aparant that we were actuallly getting closer to Mex.

    Even the princesses in the limo were starting to get excited.

    Septic stopped to pick up a (just in case) sat phone, and soon after we arrived at the Tecate Border.

    The truck came through next, then we went to get paperwork (which was a breeze)

    We're in San Ignacio now. Nobody's hurt and we're all in good spirits I think. We did have of do a long - COLD freeway jump last night and the guys on the little bikes were hating life.

    I had a hard crash yesterday, and scared some folks, but I'm fine and having a blast. It's all part of the adventure I guess:busted:

    I'm glad you guys found a place to stay last night... and of course a way to transmit to let us know how you are.

    You had 2 bad crashes? I hope everyone is doing ok down there.

    I've stayed at that house! Nice! :thumbsup:

    I'm good on the map scaling now, I'm surprised that the spot page does not have a legend though.

    Mrs. Yo again.
    Thanks for the pics! Very cool. It was great to talk to Yossarian last night, thanks to Skype at the B&B where they stayed. He's having a fantastic time, save a few hand blisters. The kids and I leave for Cabo early Fri morning, I'm so ready to be out of the snow and on the beach!

    The spot is really cool. I get the emails and then google map (with pictures) the location. Nifty way to get an idea of the terrain.

    We had a fantastic ride today/tonight.

    This trip really is my first time ever riding at night.
    I've only ridden on big rocks a handful of times (usually crashing)
    An never crossed more than a creek.

    Today we did all of that at the same time, and when I went up some giant staircase of rock I was moving to fast to stop and think about it. and I just went... So there you go.

    We got in to Loreto a couple hours after dark, and had a good dinner in town. Staying at a way to nice hotel tonight, then off to laPaz tomorrow for New Year's
