Today was the day we figured out that we would pass the end of the baja 1000 course finish line the day the three day race started. Sounds like there is no problem except that we would meet a variety of persons known as pre-runners. These are the serious racers who are running the course days ahead as practice. They go fast, on dirt bikes and in fully custom dune buggy racers. One of them accepted a swig from Jeff's cherry jim bean flask he was trying to get rid of. This gift inspired our racer to make the connection between Jeff's beard and Santa Claus and he sat on Jeff's lap for a picture. Unfortunately the pic was on the camera of one of the pre-racers team, perhaps we can find a link to it.
The maps shows our run from Bahia San Luis Gonzaga (Papa Fernandez campo on the bay) to Bahia de Los Angeles, through a magical place called Coco's Corner. http://www.cocoscorner.com/ Coco lacks feet, but he gets around quite nicely on his quad runner in his oasis in the desert. Pic of me with his prosthetics on the wall. The other shows me eating some local fish steamed in foil. Very tasty.
