Maybe a common thread that marks Baja lovers is that we all have wide comfort zones, have lived our lives outside and don't need or seek out
insulation from the elements; perhaps we often revel in the natural harshness of the land, the water. For my little village I have to moderate that
thought. Each June, when all my gringo neighbors go north for the summer, my Mexican neighbors ask me the same question every year "are you not
afraid of the hurricanes?" They don't make the connection between the heat of a tropical summer and the gringo migration north. When I explain that
the gringos went someplace where it is cool they just smile, shrug and humor me -- they all know there is noplace cool in the summer.

Great Memories for "Adventuers"!!!
That is the common thread among the Post. Next to the mexican People/Sea ofcortez Bishop area is the Greatest.
iking out of South Lake down the Muir up to amphitheater Spending a weak next to the Lake, watching Hordes of "LadyBugs" being devoured by the Trout
was Fantastic.
On the way out down the Canyon approached by the Naked Sierra Members, asking me if I,wanted a "Smoke", I will never forget--Why did they have to
smoke to get a High in the sierras" never figured it out>
Taking my Super cub to 13,000 over Wht. Mt, Peak coasting down the Whites seeing all the ani,als, Tress coming through the Pass a Big Pine. What a
Thrill"!!
going through Tigo Pass,at 9,000 Ft. catching the edge of a Standing Linticuclir Cloud, going to 21,000 in Seconds with the Thottle back and Flaps.
What a Thrill!!!
Lots of Adventuers!

Right on Osprey
What we don't know sometimes harbor us from feeling there is some other way of life better than our own, which there may not be. This is a good thing.
I would hate to drag the whole world into So. Cal(they're already there) so they could enjoy the mild weather year round. Who, however, would want
that intense lifestyle all day everyday just for the weather?
Don't answer!

The History
In my case it was very simple: the history. I have spent way too many years reading and writing about Spanish missions, but I have also visited many
mission sites in North and South America. Baja California was one of the first places to catch my attention, and that I visited.
