I gotta say this was the best off road trip I've ever had! I cant thank all you guys enough for letting me ride along on this epic Baja run with the nicest group of people in the off road community. I cant wait to do it all over again. I'm already trying to think of what I can sell to build my Bronco up to get it out there for the next one.

[Polarcub]

Wow what a trip I sure wish I could have made it. Looks like it was a blast all the way around and the ranch was spectacular from the pics.

[PBR]

Tony, Tom, Chris, THANK YOU ALL for a well planned, well thought out event! I'm to pooped to post more, and will soon, but in the meantime...

I think Carmen looks pissed that brian is taking so long to get the truck fixed, so she can contiinue to school him on the proper way to haul the mail!

[yikes]

Mmmmmmm! Look at that thick creamy filling sandwiched between those crunchy black cookies.

Thanks for the kudos Nick, Tom and Chris did a ton of heavy lifting (Tom in particular with sponsor and the chase book), especially when schedules and family matters would come up, they always kept focused on this. For Vic and I, this trip is just truly a testament to what our dad was passionate about, hanging out with good people inbaja, in a Bronco! (Although he would probably still prefer we drive a white one)

A few observations:
*this trip was nothing without the fantastic people that came along
*the sponsor made it that much more special
*shout out to HP Ranch and Todd Clement for taking good care of us
*The attitude of everyone on the group, was UNBELIEVABLE, nobody to be lft stranded, no rig to be left in baja, and everyone smiling the entire time. Just Absolutely Amazing!!

BTW, interesting to note, every vehicle made it home today under its own power despite issues over the weekend.

Carnage: (I don't know that this is a complete list)
*Ricks off road light, rear shock bolt, front shock bolt, and hood mount
*Chris' lower radius arm bolt and stereo
*my driveshaft flange
*Andys door, rear shock and airbox
*brians map, fuel filter, o2 sensor
*randy (probably vapor lock)
*Jeeps crossmember bolt
*rods tranny (although it drove perfect today)

What a GREAT TIME!! Lily and I just got back about 6:30pm. We stayed and went shopping at Soriana and a liquor store and a Dulceria (sp?).


When we going back??? How's that for a great attitude Tony?

[tcm glx]

Attitude was great the whole way, no doubt there!!
Hey guys, so Agustin let me "borrow" some of his pictures for this fantastic group that he got to bond with, but asked the we DO NOT POST these on any other internet boards, facebook, twitter, twatter, flicker, flacker or anything else..... for good reasons, he needs the pictures not floating all over the internet, so with that said, here come some of the weekend action shots!!

[yikes]

Couple shots up in the pine forest...everyone scurrying to help Rick get the beast back together.






Great place for dinner. What a great time with the raffle. That was such a blast. You guys did an awesome job putting that together.
