I hope you all remain safe and healthy out there. I'm back in SMP World Headquarters after a brief hiatus (AKA herping) in Mexico of all places. I went down to Baja California with a group of folks and we dipped all the way down to the northern portions of Baja Sur, and I can now claim to have traveled every inch of Mexico’s highway one.
