Mike Younghusband On His Epic 1147-Mile Baja Trek

"Life's an adventure; go out and enjoy it."

After reading Graham Mackintosh's "Into a Desert Place," Mike Younghusband decided to get a burro and walk the length of Baja himself. "I've done my duty to my family, god, and my country, and it was time for some 'me'-time -so I set out to get that, and I got it!" 

Younghusband gave himself one year to plan the epic trek. He plotted the route, pre-positioned supplies, including whiskey, purchased a donkey, and trained for every scenario possible. While he freely admits that his first mile was "horrible," he eventually walked 1147 miles down the length of Baja with his beautiful burro Don-Kay and an assortment of dogs. 

 Tres-Amigos Blancos, his 202-page e-book chronicles the adventure and includes 200 photos. It's available via Amazon for Kindle.
