Looks like you guys dropped in on Agua Verde.

Dropping in on Aqua Verde was correct - from the South, at night time a very steep decent on a tight & tiny mountain trail, washed out road with hairpin turns......lockers on (center & rear), low range, first gear and keeping the wheels just turning......with a Adventure trailer behind

Next time Harald will demand: Lights Out!

Pelican cranium?

Amazing places, I hope you took more pics.

Any chance to see all your photos in an album?

Thanks Chris. I was seeing a dirty towel on the end of a stick. Maybe it's time to give the computer a little resty rest.

RE: Baja Sur......for sure

I was guessing that the picture was related to some part of a whale.

RE: Baja Sur......for sure

Karl,

Was the tumble-over the real thing or a test of gear?

Great pictures. Some have the certain Harald twist, however.

RE: Baja Sur......for sure

Tom,

I would categorize Karl's trailer flips (one was not enough) as durability tests

my pics are up as well (still working on the captions):

RE: Baja Sur......for sure

days between 80 and 90
nights between 40 and 60

beer always chilled
friends well behaved
nature stunning
food mouth watering
conversations inspiring
women pleasant (how unusual is that?)
vehicles tirelessly dependable (except the Jeep)

I am planning the next adventure

RE: Baja Sur......for sure

Great pictures, Karl. Your wife has a good eye for photos.

The one shot gave me concern, the white stone or board, stuck in the sand with Harald's name inscribed. I did not see "RIP", however. If the arrow had been pointed up, new concerns would have developed.

The lawn chair over backward, must have been a reenactment of the trailer's life.

Thank you for posting the shots.
