With major power outages and no home internet we decided to watch a movie while we ran the Genny to run the fridge and freezer. I am not sure exactly where we got this 20 year old DVD from but yesterday we were bored enough to check it out. I have mentioned before my wife and I had done off-road search and rescue in the Mojave desert for several years, but not Baja. We rubbed elbows with a few of the people but never really knew they were a big deal. They really just didn't act that way. Others we met in passing, with much the same average Joe personality. We came into desert racing way after Steve McQueen moved on to other things. I would loved to have met him. When we left search and rescue it was really starting to seem like a job instead of a volunteer gig. One year we supported 26 races generally less than 75 miles each. Basically 26 weekends of eating dirt. Now I think we kinda miss it sometimes
