He is very much around, and you just proved it, as I was responding to that 'new' Nomad 'malvina' or whatever Tom called himself... ja ja ja
JR, if you are such a great defender of the oppressed posters, do you post on Baja.net sticking up for me? MeNo has a ton of lies, slander, and even
stoops so low to drag my son and daughter into his attacks against me... Do you tell him to shut up on Baja.net JR, huh???
Also, I do not pretend anything... My 40 years of traveling in Baja are real... If you have more Baja travel experience, then we are still waiting to
see and read it... I have had 8 vehicles used to drive in Baja because of the number of miles put on those cars there and the years I have been
driving since aI was 16. I have only seen ONE vehicle in all of your photos?
Do not be threatened by me... I am not in a contest with you or care if you know more Baja than me or not.
My first trip to Todos Santos was in 1966, by the way... my second was in 1974, third in 1985, and fourth in 2001.
What counts with the people here on Nomad is if they are interested in exploring places in Baja that are not in the tourist zones (like where you
live), then they can count on my willingness to assist them, for free, on areas I do know about... and there are more than just a few, like you keep
trying to get folks here to believe... Well, my photos and trip reports are proof of your hot air and jealous responces...
Have a nice day!

Hey, what's with the Hotel California joke? I kind of like the place, at least the courtyard for brunch.

T & T-----We liked Hotel California, too.
net atmosphere, food was good, and it generally was just a lot of fun. Never stayed there----just eaten and drank there.

Got me. Seems like a pretty nice place to me. Although the rooms are pricey. Of course, you dont have to worry about rooms, right!
We have recently put a rack of our books in the Emporia which includes Ann Hazard's new cookbook with 3 recipes from the Hotel California. The place
is amazing...while we are there for maybe 30-45 minutes, I would bet that over 100 people waltzed through the shop. It is quite an attraction.

And yes there are a few Mexicans left there. If you want to see them come to the festival....just this past weekend. We went one year and while
sitting at the top of the ferris wheel, we looked down and saw not one gringo....not one. Weird!

Web Sites
Although I don't chime into everyones posts with MY website with other peoples stories like you David, I do have one.
It's about my travels in Baja, and the people that live here. Their ranchos, many lakes, caves, areas that are not frequented by tourists like the
places you post.
There are many stories, (1st hand from my own experiences in Baja) about many things besides my friends families and trucks.
It's a site about Baja, not me. I don't post GPS coordinates, maps or locations because I don't want caravans of people like you cluttering up
these places
and disturbing lifestyles with your publicity and big mouth.
But, for those that weren't aware of a site about Baja, not David K., try http://groups.msn.com/TheBajasBestGuidesPhotoAlbum

If you're can't find Mexicans in TS, you've never been to the town square or the church on Sundays (the childrens choir is great), or taken a bike
ride through the valley.

Thank you JR, you are truly so much better than I could ever hope to be... 
My posts are here on Nomad, so the people who see the maps and photos and GPS are the people you are blathering to...
So, in posting these places I guess it means you and your friends like MeNo will never be there... What a blessing indeed!
The majority of Nomads are GOOD people that have respect for others and the places in Baja they visit... the people you have so much spite for, yet
expect handouts from so you can look important to the remote village you go to.

I was refering to the Eagle's song... which the management used to try so hard to make everyone think was based on the Todos Santo hotel... it wasn't.

In defense of "restroom N-zis"

"Restroom N-zis" are not born that way. This guy is an arsshole but I understand why. 
I generally don't refuse anyone who is not a customer, use of my facilities if they are polite enough to ask. But more often than not, they
don't. It's, "Hey man/dude, I'm gonna use...", or, "Where's your...", or, "Do I hafta buy something to...".
The absolute worst is when parents allow young children to use the bathroom unsupervised. Most of the time, they don't even bother to check after.
I haven't (yet) put up a sign saying, "Restrooms Are For Customers Only", but I am peeed that I would have to consider it.

I know, David--------
but it is sure fun to pretend it did. (-:
By the way, I like your coordinates, pictures, references and threads to other peoples websites and trips, your photos, maps, and the dozens of other
things you do to make Baja so much more interesting to the rest of us. Please keep doing just what you do, and thanks.

That would be a great trivia question, which came first, the Hotel California in TS or the Eagles song
So where is the Eagles Hotel California? Or is there one?

Along a long desert highway...
The road to Todos Santos was dirt when the Eagles song came out.

he just defended the "restroom N-zi"...try doing that after youve been on the road all day and all you
want to do is take a leak and theres some cranky kook telling you that you cant...i'd be apt to follow in the footsteps of Divers kid....ya' know how
it is,when you gotta go...you gotta go

Here was a reply I made to a previous Hotel California thread here on Nomad, last year:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
posted on 11-1-2004 at 08:06 PM
Lower California Guidebook c1962
Page 109: "... Travelers may spend the night at Hotel California (III), which has a bar, restaurant, and gasoline pump."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
III= 25 to 50 pesos per person, meals included. or 5 to 15 pesos, bed or room without meals. Peso was 8 cents at the time of printing. So: $2 to $4 US
with meals, $0.40 to $1.20 US without.

There used to be a Hotel California in Fresno (until they turned it into an old folks home), maybe a natural transition. With an equal amount of
stretch, the lyrics could fit there.

Had a casa in Todos Santos when Spanish was spoken there for 11 years (1980s). Saw the Hotel grow, die, and be reborn again recently. Attached
website has a good explanation of this legend.
