Baja Billboard in L.A.
i had to drive up to L.A. today and on the way about 20 min. south of the airport on the 405 freeway I saw a huge billboard with a picture of a beach
and something about "Go south into Baja to see some of the most beautiful beaches,head for Guerrero Negro"...it struck me as kind of odd to see this
heading north on the 405,i also recall coming home from Vegas a few weeks ago seeing a billboard about a fishing resort in Baja called Los Arcos,the
sign said 350-400$ a night....i'm wondering if all this advertising is necessary...is tourism so low in baja that they need to advertise on the LA
freeways?

Just one question is that bamboo in the entrance?

Now, now....throwing insults is enough (too much?) !
Let's not talk violence; and don't waste the bamboo !
They both know a lot about Baja; just differing opinions and presentation.
Maybe one of them stole the other's girlfriend in highschool ??
Insults and slander at 20 paces ?!?!?
Last one standing wins !?
Looser pays for the beer ??
I know I should shut up but I'm in a frisky mood !!

Billboard Photo
Saw this on the border of Palos Verdes and San Pedro. I couldn't believe it myself and had to pull over and snap this!

GN, the only redeeming feature it has is this where you stick in the tube when you give Mexico an enema.

Check out El Nido Restaurant in Rosarito Beach. Lupe Perez, the owner has used it to a large degree as interior decorations--outside also. He has a
wonderful collection of what he calls 'jonke' and what most people would call antiques from all over Mexico.
If you check I believe that you will find that it has been illegal to harvest the plant for a number of years.
Someone asked me what 'it' was---ocotillo is what 'it' is. Dang sounding like an ex President here. This is the part edited
