The Baja Walkers!
We are done! Yesterday we finished our walk to the end
of the Baja Peninsula. The Baja Walk was a total of 74 days, and 800
miles from San Felipe to Cabo San Lucas. It was an adventure of a
lifetime, filled with excitement and laughter, tears and pain; all
the things that lets one know they’re alive. However, the most
memorable and moving aspect the Baja Walk was all the incredible
people we encountered along the way.
We will be leaving for Todos Santos tomorrow to visit
Hogar del Ninos, then to La Paz to return the van to Wiley and Carol
Stagg. The planned method of returning home had to be changed, as of
yesterday. So at this point, we are going to post on the Baja
forums, to see if any folks are heading north, that could possible
provide a ride, otherwise we will be taking the bus out of La Paz.
Either way, the return home will be the last leg of the Baja Walk.
We expect to be home in San Felipe soon enough.
In addition, as most of you know, we have been
providing periodical updates, as Internet and time were available,
but they were brief and superficial and never described the
emotions, or the details that made up the real adventure. Since
before leaving on May 12, Rachel and I have been taking photographs,
some 3000+ in all, daily video journals, in additional to our own
individual written journals, where we have documented the names and
places we encountered. Because of all the continued requests and
suggestions, we have decided to compile all of this into a book,
“The Baja Walk” to publish by December.
We would like to encourage everyone to take a moment
and see how you can help or support the charities of the Baja Walk,
or others your area:
· Liga MAC (Los Cabo),
· ALMA Humanitaria (Los Barriles),
· Hogar del Nino (Todos Santos),
· Volunteers for Indigent and Vulnerable Animals (San Felipe),
· Animalandia (Loreto),
· Casa de Fe Orphanage (San Felipe),
· Volunteers Without Limits (San Felipe),
· Turtle Tagging Project (Loreto),
· Children’s Help Foundation (La Paz),
· Rosarito Boys & Girls Club (Rosarito).
Thank you to everyone for making the Baja Walk possible, especially
those of you that made a donation to one of the charities and the
people that without whom, we would not have been able to achieve the
Baja Walk, which are listed here. This list does not come close to
thanking everyone, which includes the large number of people that
visited us, stopped along the road to give us water, fruit, or
conversation, or helped in some other manner. Thanking everyone is
the scariest part of completing The Baja Walk, because we absolutely
do not want to miss anyone.

Cai, that started the walk with us 74 days ago. We love you all, and
thank all of you, from the bottom of our hearts.
