I'm looking forward to the next installment. Don't leave us hanging for too long.
We called a friend when we lost our SPOT on a golf course in Vegas at the end of a Mexico Trip. He was able to tell us that it was on the 2nd green (he'd played the course before).Yeah, it also had my SPOT transmitter in it too, I chuckled at how I could've used that information to find it.

Can't wait for more...
In the morning after spending the night out in the desert, about 100 feet off the road, and hearing 4-5 trucks go by, wondering where these people could be headed, the next morning I stopped at the abandoned community near Santo Toribio (called Browning? or Bruno?). Anyway these guys, cattle ranch hands said even they didn't "live" there, they live in "town" and just come out to work with the cows. A few minutes later I came up on a bunch of guys doing something at a corral some distance off the road. My supposition was that it was Saturday, and all these guys came out in their trucks late last night to work with the cows over the weekend.I don't think much contraband passes that way. Smuggling is a business and that's just not an economical route. Most of the traffic is probably ranch and mine traffic. There are several active mines further west - west of the road to La Linda.

I've never met anyone but good folks in that part of the world. I've known some of the ranchers out there since the '60's. [Wow] Their ranches are like small states. Generations of workers have been born, lived all their lives, and are buried on the ranch. Some of those small settlements are built by the ranches and serve as mini-towns to serve remotely-housed ranch-hands. They used to include a place to eat (for the ranch-hands and their families) and usually a church, all sponsored by the ranch. Most have been vacant since the early 80's.

And of these three, two of them stopped to offer assistance. One of them the semi, which took a long time to slow down and come up abreast with me.
Need help?
Now, what would be your chances of that happening in the States??
