A wonderful, entertaing account of unusual travel.

This story is so wonderfully refreshing when compared to the many stories of adventure travel on the market today. If you like the unusual in travel, then this will be a fun book as the author takes you along on his 3,000 mile trek around Baha California relating the story in his own, uncomplicated style. You'll feel just like you are walking beside him, as he encounters, rattlesnakes, scorpions, cactus thorns, thirst, hunger and lonliness. You'll rejoice with him as he comes upon the many small fishing camps along the way and meets wonderful, friendly local fisherman who share their meager food and water with him so he can continue onward. The highlight of travel is often those you meet along the way and this story is no exception. For a first-time author, he does an exceptional job in relating this story in a simple, understandable way, just as if he was talking with you personally. It's truly remarkable that a person with no previous hiking or trekking experience could pull of such a feat. His determination and upbeat attitude pushed him to the conclusion of his quest. If you like travel and adventure, this is a good one.

An excellent adventure for Baja fans.

This book totally captivated me. I was familiar with most of the areas traveled and found him to be right on target with his descriptions. I love Baja and enjoyed learning the experiences he encountered and how he tackled all the many hardships he faced.
