back to life

December 27, 2005 · On the Road

The last goal of 2005 was squeaked in last week - a Baja offroading adventure in Mexico.

Trip write up with pictures coming soon, highlights now:

Mike's Sky Rancho - arriving at 5:30 pm on Christmas eve.
Making Hanukkah candles out of tecate bottle caps, matches and Jesus candle wax
Driving the Baja 1000 and 500 roads
A meeting with 3 federales in the chaparral on Xmas day
Baja breakfast: beer and baklava
San Felipe all night Xmas karaoke
The Parque National Constution 1851 - pine trees surround a lake at 5000+ elevation
Coca-cola light
Licking the truck wounds back to LA

We returned to LA unscathed; my Spanish brushed up a bit, the truck more worn for the wear with a notebook of dreams and plans for adventures in 2006.
