However, even with the highway, much
of the Baja still remains isolated and unpopulated,
consisting mostly
of rugged mountains (up to 10,000 feet tall), along with 800
miles of harsh desert, with
few facilities for travelers.
After having a stent put in a
few years ago, I began an exercise program that
consists of nothing more than walking 4
miles on a treadmill before breakfast and two or three
miles during the day.
