Todays ride was gonna be a loop. We were gonna start off by doing the eastern half of the 22 Day Trail. The Prowler crew and Dale, went fishing earlier with Igor, Guillermos son. After we ate breakfast, we were walking back to the rooms to get ready for the ride, when one of they guys who was staying next to us from New Hampshire, said that someone had broke into his saddlebags and stole his GPS and Passport. We started looking at our bikes and a few of us noticed that we were missing some tools. We started walking around the motel and found a couple things but we were still missing some items. We looked around a little more and finally decided that were were just going to take the loss. More on that later.
We were now running behind schedule and were still going to try to get in over 120 miles. We headed down to the San Borja turnoff and headed out towards the trail head.



We got to the trailhead and were missing 2, Shane and dad.
We waited a little while and I decided i would go back and see where they were at. I went back and this is what I found.

There was a nasty wash that snuck up on him and I guess he rode a pretty good wheelie on the front wheel and didn't quite ride it out. He decided he was going to go back to Guillermos and take it easy. The rest of us decided to keep going.


While we were out riding, the fishermen, Dave, Charlie and Dale, were busy catching dinner. They caught around 24 Yellowtail ranging from 15 to 20 pounds each.

Dave had the cook at Guillermos prepare some Ceviche, Sashimi, and then just grill up some of the filets. I think most of us in the group would agree that it was one of the best, if not the best meal in Baja...EVER! It was that good.


They also caught the thief that stole the tools off of our bikes. We got everything back except Ricks sleeves off of his jacket.
We also made arrangements with one of Igors friends to haull the Prowler back to San Felipe. He came to the hotel later that night and we loaded it up in the back of his truck. Charlie and Dave were going to ride back to San Felipe in the truck and dad was going to ride the bike back. He was feeling a little stiff and thought it would be best to head back with Charlie and Dave.
