Journal Hofner, M.S. 1977 3 km. S. Santa Rosalia, 10 m., Baja California Sur, Mexico. 9 July (cont) an hour of intense sweating in the dirty, sandy wash, we found ourselves even deeper in the sand. (It was, of course, dark making things more complex). We finally let air out of the rear (tubeless) tires and used an old gunny-sack beneath the tires for added traction and escaped. Of course, the tubeless tires (one of them) went flat immediately causing us to have to change the tire. 2130 finally arrived in town (after washing at the motel) for dinner. We entered a nice, scenic old restaurant just as it was closing- but we managed to sit awhile and have a cerveza while an old man played old Mexican tunes on a piano; very enjoyable. We reluctantly left this place and had a very nice meal at a nearby restaurant. 2400 - after a shower, we retired - very tired. 3 km. S Santa Rosalia, 10 m., Baja California Sur, Mexico. 10 July 0630 arose and drove to check traps. Very hot, muggy morning; no wind, very humid.
