A few older Mulege/Concepcion photos:
Frisbee and Dimas at the Roost
Sam, Frisbee and my mother (right) at the Hacienda. Don't recognize the other woman, but I'm sure someone here will.
Ramon at Dany's Taqueria, which I think was then officially called Asadero Ramon
Old Agustin's camp at the south end of Santispac
Agustin, not looking too happy about getting his picture taken, with Killer Cain's setup in the background

Thanks for all of the great photos. I love your stories, looking forward to more of them and next years Pinto Bass Derby, see you soon. Lauri
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

Mike,
If you spent much time at the Roost in the summers of 98, 99 or 00, chances are we have met. I lived down on the bay those summers, fished most
mornings, spent most afternoons at the bar. Still get down to Mulege three or four times a year. I'm usually on the 25-foot center console Dusky
called Pez Gordo.
Re: Sue--one of those summers, can't recall which, my car was in the shop for maybe a week and a half. John and Sue were living in a trailer at Posada
then, and I caught rides into town with them several times. That was mildly scary, but I also had to catch rides home with them, and that was flat-out
terrifying. Still, they were always entertaining, in their unique way, and always good to me. I even took them fishing a few times, which was pretty
damn funny...

Pompano,
I enjoyed the pictures and information about Asadero Dany's. My family and I go there every visit. Last year we were there for lunch and dinner
every day! Lorena and Juan are great. I mentioned that it was my husband's birthday during lunch, and by dinner they made him a cake. So sweet.
Anyway, I understand you have a place on Coyote Bay? We'll be there for a week in October. Maybe we'll meet you (or maybe we've met before?).

Yes, I live in Bahia Coyote and we may indeed have met before. I know Antonio and Lorena very well..and Antonio's father before him. They are part
of what makes Baja my favorite haunt. Please stop by for a visit or an overnight when in the Bay. Mi casa es su casa y the cervezas very cold.
NOW...on with Mulege Mirrors ..a photo tour of a Baja village

Making cement blocks by hand
If Norman Rockwell could only have discovered Mulege..
I could hang around places like this way too long.
Need some plain blocks? I bought my first cement blocks from Sr. Augustine Castro about 20 years ago. Prices have risen a little, but so has his
expertise in making a good solid block.
18"long X 6"wide X 8" high = 8.5 pesos each
He also has patio and walk pavers. Very reasonable prices.
Augustine's block yard is located up the Mission Road in Mulege...past the baseball field..past the tienda..first left..and it's on the right
about a half block up that street. .

"The Barber of ..Mulege"
I used to get my hair cut about once a winter when in Baja, but back then it meant a boring trip from Mulege to Sta. Rosalia. Nowadays, we have many
more options.
I was minding my own business in Manuel Cuesta's tienda the other day, squeezing the cantalopes, when he and his wife chided me for my need of a
haircut.
So..I went next door to his daughter Denise's and told her that her dad was a real putz, but give me a haircut anyway.
I dunno...this could have gone for another month or so..waddya think? Denise took this pic for me.
Denise's salon is comfy, but could use some spitoons and cigars...and where's the beer cooler?
Okay...enough kidding around. For the best haircut you will ever get for 10 bucks, give Denise a try. She's a great hair cutter &
stylist.
Here's the hair salon and the putz's tienda.

Did anyone notice....
...on page '4' of the 'Mulege Mirror' posted above, there was the following item...
"At Coyote: Roger was seen hitch-hiking with a N$20
attached to a sign. wonder if he got a ride. Speaking
of Roger, I understand that U-Haul contacted him.
they thought he was a competitor."

Mexray...there are so many, many Roger's in the Bay.

Mike..I was a little off in my post..I got more than just a haircut.
Denise gave me a
- shampoo
- haircut
- moustache
- eye brows
- ears
- and nostril hair trim..ahem.
...for which she charged me 100 pesos...quite less than $10 USD today..I gave her 120 pesos with tip...making it almost $10 USD.
Now that's a damn good rate.

Wow, if you love Mulege, like we do, this is one fantastic thread. Thanks a million Pompano. You have a wonderful photo history posted here. I
can't imagine the number of photos you must have on hand over the years.

Thanks, Bob.... I love Mulege and Baja, too, plus I'm a camera bug. Have been since my Brownie Hawkeye days.
Photo number would be a good guess at best right now, but I could easily find out, I suppose. This Baja photo-disc I have in the computer today
shows there are 3532 photos on it. I've got 5 other discs done and a few more to do from old and new camcorder recordings...my fun winter project for
when the winds keep me off the water.

Pompano, as you seem to be the keeper of local lore, any chance you knew or have any photos of David Chaney? he was our neighbor and friend at
Buenaventura before his early passing...quite a character and a interesting guy...
Mexico!! Where two can live as cheaply as one.....but it costs twice as much.....

Terry28, I am no keeper of local lore by anybody's imagination. Just been here a while and have done some things.
I did know Chaney both here and in Pacific Beach. He was indeed an interesting character. Loved vodka, playing his guitar, and would often entertain
lots of us at Bertha's and the old Hacienda in town.
I have some photos of him playing and singing. Will try to find them and post here after the holidays.
