The writer describes a roundabout 2000 mile itinerary from Nogales to Los Mochis by train then ferries La Paz to Mazatlan and back, with detours through Topolobampo, including a risky explosives schedule, plane hops, and a leisurely La Paz crossing aboard the Presidente Diaz Ordaz.
The narrator notes that new passenger and cargo gangplanks failed to fit the ferry rig, causing repeated issues as waves caused the middle ramp to slip. After reaching Mazatlan by taxi, they return home on a 2,000‑mile trip via train, bus, plane, ferry and train for $52.80 total with tax, imagining the ride more than the journey.
In Honolulu, John and Lisa Harvey, once involved in communes and drugs, now run The Good Earth health food store near the University of Hawaii. They aim to finance a tuition-free, non-coercive school on Maui while keeping the business profitable. A third partner, Patrick Sylva, helps run the venture.
