We apologize for the not announced changes in case somebody was looking for the Loreto BCS site. The whole Baja Infotheque Network is in progress of change and this will be ongoing until the middle of January. We moved all 60+ Baja websites to a new server / data center and some of the sites also get a new design. Several links and images are not in working conditions at the moment as well the maps are not in display for the next few days. This all will be back. The forum is canceled - there was obliviously no use made of it. Guess there is no people in Loreto that like to have the option to have a platform only for Loreto. Or they are suspicious - it’s free so it must be cheap and cheap is not good…… or in other ways fishy. To bad, we just wanted to provide somethings for the community there. If there is demand we will install one again.
There been a interesting sighting of a group of sharks right at the Malecon in La Paz! Just a few meters of the shoreline a group of sharks (could been Dusky Sharks be shape of tail fin yet hard to determine by viewing the video). Anyway, I figured maybe interesting to view this video here. Anything simular observed in Loreto this close to the shoreline or at the Malecon?? Just curious….
The first bike did cross the finish line app. 1/2 hour ago. in Cabo San Lucas. It's Team Honda X1. So far we have no info on the Loreto based Baja Quest Racing Team. The last word from Ben Zwaryck was that the been holding there 3th. position. The support is waiting near Todos Santos… That was already many hours ago and the Baja is a grueling ground for offroad racing and many things can happens. If their is any news it will be on Puro Offroad first.
