I did a very remote one in Baja a few years back (one of the last two on land). Very exciting! http://confluence.org/confluence.php?id=2627 Wanted to do the last one as well. http://confluence.org/confluence.php?lat=28&lon=-113 Unfortunately I mentioned my plans and schedule - only to be beat by someone who had listened into that conversation. Some of these points require intense planning and strenuous hikes. In some countries you risk being arrested stomping around in off limits areas. The G is a perfect tool to get as far as you can get driving - and then set out hiking. Or climb into a boat like Karl. You can, of course, also re-visit any of the confluence points. We need destinations, and old mines or ghost towns are getting kinda boring. | ||

I think it would be nice if they got something going with google earth...so that you can just spin the globe...click on a place, read the story and see the pics. Good job! | ||

4x4abc Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: La Paz, Baja California, Mexico Vehicle(s): 02 G500 | RE: Another G-wagen Adventure completed Steve, we are not old enough to throw out backs by the way, we will do a trip into uncharted Baja territory with a handfull of brave explorers about the first week of April 2011 I will announce it shortly in the events section not only will it be the first time ever that this section of Baja will be driven - it might be the last time as well, as locked gates (one is already up) will keep people out | ||

4x4abc Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: La Paz, Baja California, Mexico Vehicle(s): 02 G500 | RE: Another G-wagen Adventure completed the first couple of hard core adventurers are already bailing out - the proposition moving rocks was too extreme heck, how else do you define "extreme adventure" just glueing a label onto something will only work in advertising this is real guys! if it were muddy, Camel Trophy would have gotten an exclusive use right to the track but its dry there and Camel Trophy is out of business anyway I see it already coming - it'll be me and Karl that's OK, I would even pull this one off alone would only take a few days longer but who is gonna run the video? | ||

I'm a bit bummed to miss the "hard core" run, but I'll take what I can get. The calendar shows the april event full. How many are you expecting? There are around four of us from the N.M. area planning on heading down, is that going to be a problem with what you have planned? And the million $ question, are kids going to cramp anyone's style? | ||

Especial your kids are so well behaved, it was a real pleasure traveling with them - so their parents Please just make sure Abigal has plenty of polishing rags and used the the deep gloss wax on our cars.... Be so good and email me your vacation dates and let's go from there. Karl | ||
