Disk brake trouble fix. The locater studs somehow backed out leaving the caliper unmoored. I checked the rest and found another stud half backed out. I tied it to the frame with some 1/8 ss welding wire, with 3 brakes I am glad I have a 1 ton truck, heavy with really strong brakes!!

Back in our Monterey slip after 2 months away, over a month early so it is still cold, gloomy and rainy here. Overall our trip down Baja and our time out on the water was successful and Sierra did very well, pretty amazing actually!
That was one cold night on the boat, already miss Mexico.
Peeking out our door 7:30 this morning at the Tejon pass rest stop. 70s yesterday morning in Gonzaga bay...what a shock and we are not set up for the cold, mid 30s last night and summer bags to sleep in, our little propane heater is buried in the truck and not going to dig it out in the sleet last night! On to our Monterey slip today then going to hide out on the ranch. It was an intense week getting out of La Paz and through the semi closed US border. And I hate semis, blind corners, 13 hour drives and 9' lanes!

Camped out at Gonzaga bay, 6 AM start to a 13 hour driving day that crossed the border and delt with LA freeway traffic in the rain. Ended up camped at a reststop at the top of Tejon pass on interstate 5. 40? and raining. All the hotels and restaurants are closed. I'm just glad I could get diesel, have some hot ramen noodles and have a warm dry bed on Sierra.
Gonzaga bay dawn, last day in Mexico.
Gonzaga bay.
