I'm up for the 3-hour tour (a three-hour tour!!). The weather started getting rough, the tiny truck was tossed... ugh.. can't get the song out of my
head!!! 
Sat at 9am would work best for us, as we plan to head back to San Diego Sunday morning.

Many thanks to Antonio for planning such a fantastic event. We didn't get to see a lot of the things going on, but this means we have a great excuse
for coming back to see more of this great area!

Thank you El Rosario and BajaCactus!
We are back... Friday.
What a week! What a great festival. Antonio was outstanding... He went 48 hours without sleep seeing to everything that needed to get done.
Arrived Friday about 10:45pm
Saturday:
We had a great desert tour with up to 9 vehicles, as mentioned by Bob H. Got to meet Frigatebird and Hook... The 3.5 hour tour was closer to 5, but no
complaints!
The beauty pageant was packed and all were excited... good job by the judges... we didn't see it much of it. The winner was at the rodeo on Sunday
riding a horse.
Did the petrified forest tour on Sunday, saw a bit of the rodeo, also a great special Baja Nomad breakfast hosted by Baja Cactus on Sunday!!!
Monday had breakfast with TheSquarecircle at Baja's Best (great food), visited with Rob and Anthony at Diamante Del Mar... stayed an extra day in
Rosario. The food was outstanding...
More details in a trip report coming soon... LOT'S of pictures...
Spent the rest of the week on Shell Island.

What about the El Rosario celebration?
Saturday in the hills eating dust? Thought this fest was about the community and what they have to offer???

Looking forward to the "Rest of the story"
"What about the El Rosario celebration?
Saturday in the hills eating dust? Thought this fest was about the community and what they have to offer???"
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Was that a Poke? Jab? Slap?
I truly don't understand the purpose of the negative connotations.
When I go somewhere, I do what I WANT.
If that's a drive off into the desert, interact with other people, go fishing, take a nap, make dinner for my friends or give my wife a massage.
It's "MY" choice and I don't give a damn what someone else thinks. I seldom follow suggestions, insinuations or maps and do just fine.
So, David.... When do we get to see all the pictures? And here the rest of the trip detials?
As always,
Bedman

Didn't mean you shouldn't have done what YOU did
I was just hoping for some info. history of the town of El Rosario. Isn't that what the festival was about? Or was I mistaken and the festival was
about something else entirely?

Were you asleep JR? Haven't you been reading the past month's posts on activities to do from El Rosario? Why didn'y you go and see it for yourself,
you live closer to El Rosario, afterall? The desert tour was one of the activities Antonio asked me to do... On Saturday (or Sun.) morning when there
was NO town activities.
The festival was a celebration of the birth of a town... with the establishment of a mission there in 1774.
Seeing what El Rosario area has was part of why we "gringos" went there during the festival. You see JR, there isn't a beauty pagaent or rodeo every
weekend there. But there is a desert with cactus, beaches, geology, restaurants and more that we money spending gringos can enjoy ANY day we go.
Bedman, thanks for your interest... Photos are coming soon... I have made a file for them... next is to reduce them to under 50 KBS to meet Nomad
requirements... then I will post.

Oh brother
Look knuckleheads, I've heard plenty about the activities planned. Cool. Perfect for the DK group.
I was more interested in the stories, history of the town, fishing industry, Japanese factory, etc. that I know was part of the history of El
Rosario. I thought that just might be part of the celebration of the town and events.
I still haven't heard anything about this kind of stuff which to me would have been a major part of an event like this. I read about the
storytelling prior to the event?
WTF? Maybe you guys missed it? It didn't matter?
One thing for sure though, yer back!

Well, I am only one gringo JR... There were many others there and I can only report on what I saw and did.
Go to the trip reports forum and look for my photos if you wish, posting next. I did visit the Industry Expo in town, and have photos... Just have
some patience...
Others took photos too, and it was a 'Nomad' group on the desert tour, not a DK group... The only knuckleheads were the ones who didn't go, but have
no problem trying to cause problems from their keyboards...
By the way JR, one of 'us knuckleheads' left a big box of baseball equipment with your name on it, at Baja Cactus motel.

Knuckleheads don't
leave donations for kids. Was it you that left the donations David?
And with your usual whining, you still haven't said anything about the history of El Rosario?
Perhaps I am impatient but I have been very curious as to parts of the history down there. I thought that this event would answer some questions.
Obviously David, I would have gone if I could have.
Fortunately, some people who aren't in it for self promotion, like you, are sending me the info.
Now, let's see how many eyes you managed to pull the wool over during this latest event.

JR, you just don't stop. You want history??? It has been in my web site for years! http://vivabaja.com/bajamissions just click on El Rosario or any other mission you want photos and dates for.
I promote Baja, not me.
Who is the one who has advertised to take people into Baja for $$$. Who has some travel rescue outfit promoting same for $$$. Who is promoting himself
here???

Did I say anything about Missions?
There is a lot more history to El Rosario than Missions David. Obviously you were too busy doing whatever you do to find out about it.
Pretending to be somebody perhaps?

Excellent protagonist/antagonist writing here . Is somebody making all that petty
one upmanship up as a joke or is the lame backbiting for real and not just a split personality having an external debate?

I must be one of the Coup Groupers, Picnche Gringos, DK Group. I'm tired of it and won't be silent anymore.
Smoke and Mirrors fail you miserably in your attempt to hide your petty poking and jabbing at anything anyone does that you deem Gringo-esque.
If, on the other hand, you have something positive to add to the thread, I'll read it and Thank You for your input. I truly think you have much more
to offer this forum than spewing epithets like "Coup Groupers and Picnche Gringos". I can only presume your reference to "the DK group" was negative?
I don't believe the festival was about the history of El Rosario. I believe the festivals main purpose was to promote the city of El Rosario, the
people, the places, the industry, and increase tourism. To show those, who in the past, who have thought of El Rosario simply as a refueling point.
That there is More to see there than a gas station (sorry Antonio, it is a Wonderful station). Perchance, they might stay a day or two or more and
enjoy. Maybe even have an opportunity to learn a little El Rosario history? Knuckleheads isn't very positive either.
With reference to donations. I've written many checks in large amounts to many worthy causes. Even to you, I have the canceled checks if you'd like
to see them. I've never told anyone I made a donation, not even my wife. Every time you poke, jab and sling those hateful words You make me feel
dirty for those donations. Not any more.
Lets try to be a bit more civilized and possibly even Thank Antonio (Thank you Antonio) for all the hard work he and many other people put into the
festival. Hopefully there will be one every year for many years to come.
One of The Group.

It would be fine for any pickup truck...for the most part just the usual baja dirt roads...just seldom used in the is case....only the one spot where
steeper climb and some rocks in the road would require a closer look before going up......

That's it! I've had it with JR. He can't get past 3 posts without relying on mud slinging and name calling!
I thought that he had been provoked and I had missed it on some of the other threads, but after doing a search on his postings and reviewing them I've
come to the conclusion that this vituperative attitude has proven to be the major part of his mental make-up and all it takes is an opposing or
alternate view to set him off.
Like Bedman, I'm making it a point to NOT do business with JR or anything he's attached to from here on. Anyone who's idea of a conversation is to
start spewing invectives when disagreed with isn't someone that I want to be associated with.

Bedman, and toad. You got it totally wrong, again. JR was the one that was attacked. He has to use the delete button to try and save his public
persona. Of course you guys didn't get to read that stuff because the father of the year had it removed. Enjoy your existence with the wool firmly
in place.

Yep, looking back through the posts
I see that most all of the attacks made by the coop groupers were deleted.
Nevertheless, a couple of gringo characters threatening to not help me doesn't mean squat
One day perhaps you shallow minded individuals will see what's really going on with these coop groupers, as most everyone else already has.

What thread were you reading?
I copied the thread and sent it to my sister. We were having some big Yuks over it and the ONLY post that I see that was deleted was
Me No's.
Who else deleted?
I'd like to know.
