Hey, I didn't listen to the naysayers and went for it.. all the way from Chapala, passing by Cocos Corner but he wasnt there... he's in Encenada hospital with gangreene in his good foot... kept going and camped at Beluga for a couple nights... continued today all the way through and up to San Felipe! What a RIDE!!! I would not say it was a cake walk, but it wasn't quite as bad as others had made out.
I will include details in my next trip report.. that is if I can find more politically sensitive crap to weave in so that I can annoy more folks!!!
My question is this... I was planning on riding over to Encenada from San Felipe... stopping off at these hot springs... spending a night or two in Encenada.. then riding up through San Diego to see if this guy in San Diego could help me out with the doohickey surgery, and perhaps pay him for a complete service including valves, oil etc... before I continue to Las Vegas and on toward Austin, Texas. I'm waiting to hear if he is even interested or available. But, if he is not... there's really no reason for me to go to San Diego. I can just give Encenada a miss, ride up to Mexicali and catch hiway 95 all the way up to Vegas. If this guy can't help me out or does't have the time, would I be missing much if I didn't ride over to Encenada?
Also, I don't have a U.S. map and hadnt originally planned on my current route... so I didnt do any research on what there might be to see on the way from Las Vegas to Austin, Texas. Sure, there's the Grand Canyon and all, but are there some other sites that shouldnt be missed and are on the way?
thanks in advance,
Skip Hunt
