My passenger (Pat) on the Baja Extreme 2016 completed his production of the final part (#7) of his music enhanced videos of our Baja tour. This final
part has:
Las Pintas, with its narrow passages and boulders covered in petroglyphs and fossils...
then it shows the onyx gift shop at Rancho Sonora (reported closed now)...
next is Mission San Fernando...
then La Lobera, the sea lion crater...
ending at Ron's aquaculture project at La Chorera/San Quintin where Ron (Baja Gringo) provided the best oysters and a fun birthday party for me and my
guests... Viva Baja!

Cool videography. Nicely done.David K - 10-16-2017 at 01:33 PM
I will tell Pat... It is hard to take bad photos or videos in Baja... What a great place!
When I get a chance, I will make a post with all 6 YouTube links of Pat's showing the 10 days of fun we had in Sept., 2016, it was the Baja Extreme!gueribo - 10-16-2017 at 03:05 PM
Would love to see them all.David K - 10-16-2017 at 03:20 PM
My wife Roxie an I always stopped at the Oynx shop and visted the old guy and usually bought a few trinkets. It was on our gotta stop list and
several years ago we made the stainless sign he had out on the highway for him. We caught a relative there even though they weren't open and found out
he had passed away a few years ago. Never did know his name but always enjoyed out visits with him. The guy said they plan to reopen sometime.David K - 10-16-2017 at 11:26 PM
Was his name Santiago?That could be a grandfather as I am using travel books for the 70s an 80s! I had breakfast at Cafe Sonora in July 2000 after
spending the night at El Volcán hoping the see the geyser erupt! I think he was old man Santiago?Sr.vienes - 10-17-2017 at 05:31 PM
One way to tell if we are talking about the same guy is if the Santiago your talking about was a lady smoocher to rival the Captain Francisco Munoz
the "kissing Captain " of the old Baja airline days. If so he was the guy!!!David K - 10-18-2017 at 09:14 AM

You are a true "old-timer"!
I did not know Rancho Sonora's Santiago that well!
Captain Francisco Muñoz was indeed famous!>>> http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=31396Sr.vienes - 10-18-2017 at 07:48 PM
Not so much old timer, I just got an autographed copy of Jimmy Smith book at his birthday party one night and read the pilot story. Well crap that
may make me an old timer in itself!!!David K - 10-18-2017 at 08:49 PM
Yes, Jimmy spun many a yarn in his fun book. The "Made in Japan" story is priceless!
