Day 5

Day 5 was sort of uneventful. At least for us. We were meandering inland on the highway and our tour leader was telling us over the radio about the dry lake bed we were crossong, that it is the route of the Baja 1000 Race. The road has about a 4 inch drop at the pavement edge. We saw the motorhome in front of us drop the rear wheels off the pavement, and couldn't get back up. He was still going full speed and the back end started going down the embankment. He then steered right and caught a dirt side road at the bottom. Any other decision would have flipped the motorhome in front of us. Any other place on the highway did not have this boulder free way to a side road. The only reason this part of the road was smooth going down is probably because of the Baja 1000 traffic.
