RMD Baja Trip, Fall '07



Starting a new thread.

Talk to me.

November '07? Fill up my van & trailer with bikes &
Check.

riders and we'll pull an all nighter to drive from CO to
Mexicali.
Hmmm. 22-23 hours to you from me. My plan might
be to ship bike to Ralls and fly to L.A. I either need
Ralls to sign up or need to figure out a rental
there. This plays into:
Well? What'd he say? Were ya able to talk him into it?
Good luck. Ralls used to flatly refuse to cross the border even
before Danny Hamel died.
Ya know, I sorta kinda remembered something about
him saying that but couldn't remember if it was true.
I'll call him tonight anyway.

And who the heck are you so I can abuse you to him?
I'm All Night Doug. When you don't get the bike in the van until 2AM,
you have to drive all night to get to the mojave.


Go fast. Take chances.

Option #1 is to cross the border with just the bikes.
That might make it easier for me. Taking a rental van
across sounds bad. Taking a borrowed truck sounds
worse. Maybe meet you in Mexicali either way???

It looks like a task for HellSickle. Camping appears to
be something that you should be prepared for. A bedroll
& small tent (to keep out the scorpions).

Option #2 would be having Amy the Wonderwife sag for
us. Then we could ride our tiny tank bikes, travel lite, and
tackle the deep sandy whoops.
Has merit. Would she be safe alone out there? Roads
she'd need to use paved and services along them? I have
no clue about any of that.

Go fast. Take chances.
