At this point we break down in the middle of the desert. The real adventure begins.
My Baja Adventure
There was no indication of what was wrong. No warning lights, no overheating. It felt like an electrical connection came loose. We unplugged and re-plugged in everything. No luck.
I can tell by looking at the map that we’re close to the intersection of another dirt road. It’s 3:00 PM and the last vehicle we saw was around 10:00 AM. Knowing that you are never supposed to leave your vehicle if stranded Chris and I discuss what to do. We decided that I should walk to the intersection to see what’s there. We might have better luck to see a passing vehicle. I pack up enough water and food to get me through the night just in case.
The intersection was farther than I thought. After walking about 3 miles I’m happy to see this sign.
My Baja Adventure
However, by this time I had hiked for an hour and figured I needed another hour to get back to the vehicle just as dark sets in. What do I do? I decide to continue on to the ranch.
After what seems to be nearly 2 miles I come upon this. Had my luck run out? Was the ranch gone?
My Baja Adventure
Once again I wonder if I should look a little further down the road or head back. I think about it for a few minutes and peer down the road. There’s a sign but I can’t read it. I decide to walk the almost ½ mile to see what it says.
