Doug and family. As always thanking you for putting up and providing a most entertaining connection to home. I always think of you and the kids visiting Dad at the hospital, and what a good family you have. What a great smile you have, expect having those wonderful kids at your side provides that for you.

Sinceremente, Sara

Wow!

A great big thank you to all of you.

Mike H: Thank you for your well wishes.

It is a pleasure to be the host of such an active place online for those with interests in line with my own. Frankly, I'm a Baja fanatic. I love the place - and love exploring it. From the border to Land's End and everywhere in between.

I enjoy time behind the wheel driving - especially remote exploring - and am a natural nomad. Growing up in San Diego, I love the coast - and while attending school in Tempe (AZ), I developed a real love for the desert. With remote roads, desert and sea (and frankly, a population of people that can remind you of what's REALLY important in life), I found an as yet undying fascination with Baja California, M?xico.

Regarding the board, moderating posts - and dealing with the various conflicts here - is the most time consuming part of running the board. It helps to have people report problems they find, as it would take that much longer to go through everything everyday. And as far as moderating, I'm just trying to do my best in making decisions. Referee's sometimes blow a call, but they're generally trying to do their best. Same thing here.

It's very pleasing when there are no/few conflicts going on.

Bernie - Although limited, I've enjoyed the time spent with you over the course of the year. You are a very kind soul and I feel very fortunate for the connection.

DK - Feliz Navidad amigo. Thank you for all your kindness - AND your Baja enthusiasm.

Grover - I wish you joyous times with your family through this holiday season. My thoughts are with you.

Natalie Ann - A wonderful scene that you've shared. Thank you so much.

Sara - The kids and I feel extremely fortunate for the time we were able to spend visiting with you, your father, family and friends. We continue to remember - and comment about - those brief, but very special moments together. Thank you for your kind and thoughtful comments.

Jesse - It's been an absolute pleasure to meet and spend time with you this year. I hope the trend for such will continue.

Hose A, Lou, Lera, aa, bufeo, Sonora Wind, Bob & Susan - Thank you all for your kind comments.

To all of you, and everyone reading this:

Best wishes for a wonderful holiday time - hopefully with close family and friends - and to a fantastic new year - one with good memories being made while spending time along the peninsula of Baja California.

Regards,

Of course, Ditto's to all the above, your efforts to support your Baja Nomad Board are certainly among one of life's pleasures for all we "Baja California" nuts, and amigos!

The untold (did I just spill the beans?) joy of being able to chat, communicate, or 'joust' with fellow Baja Nomads each day or so, is just plain fantastic!

Sure, there are other places to talk about Baja, but Baja Nomad as grown into something 'special' to all of us here...the information shared, the thoughts brought forth, the opinions tossed, are all of value to us...sure, some more than others, but none-the-less, of value, in our love of Baja California and it's people.

Mil Gracis, amigo...
