We had fun, as always when Baja Nomads get together!
On the way home we stopped at the Half Way House for another great dinner prepared by Chef Johnny!David K - 5-7-2006 at 10:30 AM
We each had a lobster dinner ($22) which included ceasar salad and dessert... along with L.A. Cetto Blanc de Blancs wine.
Baja Angel had the Chef Johnny special garlic lobster (not on the menu) and I had the Half Way House style lobster (covered with a creamy sauce
containing mariscos (shrimp, scallops, clams, octopus, etc.)David K - 5-7-2006 at 10:31 AM

Dear group,
Our 4WD group arrived too late yesterday afternoon to attend the event. When we arrived shortly after 6 p.m., we were greeted in the parking lot by
Greg Nieman (who somehow recognized me by name), along with several other Nomad/Amigos. A conga Latin group carried up their gear, and we were told
that the party had moved about a mile away. Johns son Paige was very hungry and wanted to eat. Since the rest of our party had left for Ortega's we
decided to return back to Ortega's where Johns going away party had moved. As we traveled up the free road towards Puerto Nuevo, we spotted David Ks
pickup parked right up in front of the Halfway House, and we realized that we had missed everyone by more than just mere minutes.
We are sorry that we missed the book signing event, and thanks for posting those large signs telling us where to go! Once again, please accept our
humble appologies...David K - 5-7-2006 at 03:40 PM

Oh, I am sorry... I thought you were Tim M. with that handle 'bajabound2005'. Tim is a Baja racer and has a Baja tour company and his cousin Hank has
the Mexican auto insurance business... both use Baja Bound as a business name.

crowds looked slim. what about the tequila contest? what won?MICK - 5-8-2006 at 06:33 AM
We had a great tme there. People came and went all day but for the most part there were guite a few folks there. It was fun meeting alot of people I
felt i knew allready from this board. we stayed at the resort so we got to spend some time with many of the authors before the event started and thet
was neat. Baja bernie It was great spending time with you. The pot luck was great as was the tequlia tasting. I won't ruin Susanne's post with who
won. I'll let her share the news. We have been trying to get to this event for a couple of years and finally made it. Now I can't wait till next
year.
KERI. thanks for all you did It was a wonderful event. Sorry mike was not feeling well. Penny and I are glad to hear that he is feeling better.
Can't wait till next year MICKDavid K - 5-8-2006 at 07:32 AM
Susanne and Pete were going to head on to L.A. Bay with Mary Ann Humfreville... So it may be awhile before we get the tequila results from her.
Miguelito and Kevin where at the event to take their dad (Mike) north because of what happened to Mike.

Now we are talking a small world. I thought I was reading about myself and learning what my split personality has been up to all of these years while
the one I am most familiar with lives the corporate life.
I am TimM and I too race baja (although until 2007...when daughter is old enough to race...the 2001 season was my last)... I do not run a tour
operation though....darn....BajaGeoff - 5-8-2006 at 02:28 PM
Thanks for the photos David! It was nice to finally get the opportunity to meet you and chat at the book signing. Did anyone ever find out why Mike
Parise was not there? I was really looking forward to meeting him.
Thanks for the kind words Doug!capt. mike - 5-8-2006 at 03:25 PM

Here's part of what I posted with Mike's photo:
"Mike Humfreville escaped death to attend the event (wait until you read his next story)!"
For me, or anyone else who came to say more would steal the thunder from Mike Humfreville... (it is a GOOD story)
You should have come Capt. Mike!David K - 5-8-2006 at 05:56 PM

Hi Geoff, it was good to meet you and Hank of BajaBound.com as well!
I can send a higher resolution picture of you and the Lone Ranger to you... the business contact email will work, I guess?Ken Cooke - 5-8-2006 at 06:04 PM
David, do you mind if I slip this photo in your thread? John and son Paige had a wonderful time on Saturday - we had a great turnout with 10 Jeeps of
all sizes. See the photo gallery section of Baja Nomad for all of the images...
