Sunrise over the bay in LaPaz. The town has about 150,000 people and at least 20,000 roosters. I felt like I was back on the farm. The symphony of crowing cocks was amazing.

After taking shot #105 I looked down the beach and saw a big cloud of white smoke. I couldn’t figure out what it was, I thought maybe someone was steaming some fish or something. When I got to the end of the beach I found the problem.

This is probably the best shot. Notice the oil on the gas tank and side covers. We towed the bike a short distance up to the road and left Bob to wait for the chase truck.

About 11 miles after we left Bob we came across a guy who had went over this cliff on his Honda XR400 and broken his hand. A passerby knew of a US orthopodic surgeon fishing in the area. They put the two of them together in the Mexican hospital and got the guy fixed up in no time.

Lunch at Calafia at Boca del Alamo. Great food. I can recommend the Chilies with shrimp and cheese. Can’t beat the view either. Had lunch with Mike Quade, a once and current off road racer who hadn’t seen Malcolm in about 15 years.

Three kids from San Diego were camping out and surfing. This one had been there about six months. They’d found this rattlesnake along the road that morning and skinned it.

Doug Hackney on the deck of the condo at Hotel Los Missiones Del Cabo in Cabo San Lucas. No major get offs, no flats, no major injuries, and a hell of a good time.

Doug holds the cactus needle that his wife, Stephanie, had just pulled out of his arm. It had been there since he’d hit the cactus on day three.
