Facebook offline forces users to come here for their 'Baja fix' [Facebook is back online]

Don't recall Facebook being offline this long, before...
There must be panic at the Facebook Baja sites?!!
Welcome all who want to 'talk some Baja' during this travesty! :light:;):cool:

True that, it permeates with mis-information. Where are the MAGA boomers going to "do their own research" now? 😂😂😂

These platforms need to be broken up. They are not good for American society.

On my personal Facebook page we were discussing the 1959 AAA Baja Map and on my Baja Missions Facebook Group page, we were admiring 4x4abc (Harald's) El Camino Real 'subway-style' map!

Dave - what map is that that outlines the fish/area that is on the "bottom half" you've posted.

David K - 10-4-2021 at 04:35 PM

Hello!

As mentioned with that post, it is the 1959 AAA Baja Map (it has been fully shared here on Nomad).

The 1962 AAA map is similar, but with more roads and updated data.
Only those two editions were all the fishing and hunting notes on their maps (that I have seen).

Here is the 1962 map: https://octopup.org/img/media/maps/baja/1962--Baja-Californi...

Here is the 1969 Map with the now more detailed northern section: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=96640

These are the cool things we post on the Nomad Historical Interests forum! http://forums.bajanomad.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=24

Back to Facebook. If you install this app you can customize Facebook. I've eliminated the right column of useless info and only see posts from friends and groups that I have selected to see posts from. Nothing else. No algorithm-generated suggested stuff.

I really like the Facebook marketplace.

Why on Earth are people still using WhatsApp when there is a superior alternative ??
