Mike and Don-Kay Baja Trek 2010-2011
On Saturday, December 11, 2010 the team of Mike Younghusband, Don-Kay and Solo walked across the border between Baja Califronia (Norte) and Baja California Sur.
Mike, Don-Kay and Solo walked about 6 miles and crossed into Baja California Sur, Mountain Time Zone, and more adventures to soon come their way!    About mid-day Sunday, Mike sent out a signal just east of Saturday's... Now at the Y intersction for Guerrero Negro...

I really hope they can find a nice place to stay for the holidays. The team deserves a nice break...

Mike seems to be liking that intersection. Must be a very attractive young lady working at a nearby fish taco stand or something...

Looking almost straight north from the southbound exit out of Guerrero Negro; it's that "rustic" place hard by the highway on the right. Outskirts of town visible off in the distance on the left.

Maybe that's part of the rancho where Don-Kay is getting his shoes? I don't know how accurately Mike's location is pinpointed, but it seems unlikely that he'd be camped in the middle of an intersection for two days.

Re: Mike and Don-Kay Baja Trek 2010-2011
The last image I posted is the view from 17,000+ feet up! You need to zoom in more to see the ranch houses, corral, etc. that are there.
This is SOUTH of the Hwy. 1 'Y' Intersction or Guerrero Negro entrance. I have not yet tried the Google Earth street view images... they must be pretty cool? A thread of all the gasoline locations seen along Hwy. 1 from El Rosario south may be interesting? Bryanmckenzie on Nomad made up a map showing gas stations on Google Earth.

That was a Google Street View.
Here's rotated around to the other side of the street; about 200 yards south of where the SPOT arrow indicated. I see lots of nice spots to hang there for both of them. |

Re: Mike and Don-Kay Baja Trek 2010-2011
Might be in a state of shock... still has a way to go... have no idea what would be going through his mind about now... that is one healthy hike he has already made in my book..
the next half of the leg is to be completed.. still a big job... Oh, is he walking back...
