Into a Desert Place: A 3000 mile walk around the coast of Baja California
Author: Graham Mackintosh

The author of this book writes about a 2 year walk all the way around the desert coastline of Baja. Besides the route, his journey differed from that of most long-distance hikes. He lived off the land much of the way, and did the hike on a shoestring budget, sometimes leaving after a rest with less than $40 in his pocket. A great story about a fantastic adventure. Quite different from the glut of "I walked the AT from Georgia to Maine" books that are on this market. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the suggestion! Sounds like one to pick up...

Keeping with the Baja theme....might I suggest one I read this past summer while in Mexico..

In Search of Captain Zero: A Surfer's Road Trip Beyond the End of the Road
by Allan C. Weisbecker

I don't surf, but I loved this book. Great adventure story. Not your usual travel narrative. Quite enjoyable, easy read.
