Yup - but it's what I had told you guys when we looked at the calendar for the trip a month or so ago. I knew there was a reason I needed it to be later in the month I just couldn't remember why...

Too close to the 1000. My permission slip will get revoked man. Ask someone to feed the damn cat for two days, and come along. You know you want to.

You know I want to as well, but as I explained at the shop - it's a bit more than feeding the danged cat. It gets about as technical as your "permission slip" :o :lol:

B1k marking is Oct 11 thru 15 + the drive back north
No problem just follow any previous routes, however some of the routes will not be open because the ranchers lock up after the races.
Start at Ojos the head south. The crossover course to get to Santo Tomas will definatly be locked up. due to sensitivity to dust at the vinyards. Option is drive the graded roads to the coast.
I am a maybe due to work required on the Bronco near that time.

I would like to plan a overnight trip, to run maybe the first 100-150 miles of the Baja 1000 course (if marked, if not maybe the 500) over those two days. Game plan would be to leave San Diego early on a Saturday morning, and return Sunday evening.

Looking for interest of folks joining.

Requirements:
Good sense of humor
Ability to eat tacos
Decent rig (preferaly 4wd)
No Whinning
Ability to sleep, pee and poop in the desert


Takers so far:
Chris (bajabronco)
Vic (my brother)
Myself

Anyone seriously interested??

Paul,
Thanks so much for the files, and suggestions. We have gotten most of our info together, including maps, designated routes, and GPS files. I also spoke to Geoff at Giant, and was able to acquire some of the books he used to put together for his Baja Mini Tours. So things are looking like a great go for this.

Any more interest, or last minutes takers?
