David, it will be nice to see you guys again and meet Chris.
Will you be starting out at the Mariscos German truck on 30th and Grape Street? A buddy of mine and I will be there to eat beforehand. Probably
around 4:30 or so...

Okay, looking good for tomorrow... and Bob H, that Mariscos might be a great early meal before we drink Pacificos at the Hotel. However, it will be
just Chris and I, as Baja Angel is not coming due to a family request for her.

Eating an early dinner today at the Mariscos German truck was a lot of fun. Several Nomads arrived and before long we had filled up a nice chunk of
the parking lot, some brought their own chairs.
There was a full house for Mike's presentation which was just outstanding! What an amazing trip and his slide show presentation was out of this
world. Lots of laughter and jaw dropping stories!
Thank you so much Mike for sharing this wonderful adventure and we all look forward to your book!

Great Event, Great People
Thanks Mike for a really great evening... your first slide show was a success!
The fun began at the Mariscos roach coach on 30th and Grape...
John M & Barbara. These were terrific tacos folks! My son Chris and I each had a garlic shrimp and a marlin taco... both excellent!
Baja Geoff, Curt 63, Bob H
Chris and Chuck (Baja Warrior)
Then we drove to the hotel in Mission Valley for the show:
Mike autographs a photo
The room begins to fill
Baja Geoff of Baja Bound and Doug 'Baja Nomad'
The screen
Solo is the star of the trip and the show
Graham greets Neal and Marian Johns
Barbara and John M with Graham and Neal Johns
Mike is given a gift from Juan and Shari (Bahia Asuncion), delivered by John M and Barbara... the mescal Mike calls Two Buck Chuck.
Mike and Jeff (BajaCalifornian)
TW and Baja Gringo (Ron)
Kashey Dog (Dick), David K, Baja Gringo, TW
Lots more Nomads were there, sorry if we didn't get to talk, and I hope more photos will be posted!
It was a nice evening. I am very glad to have been there.
EDIT: Mike had some killer philosophy that the replies below mentioned and resonated deep with the way he put it... Fear IS the killer of dreams!

Sorry I couldn't make it...I'm sure it was a very special night and I would have loved to have met Mike, heard his story in person and seen his
pictures.
It would also have been great to see old Amigos and Nomads and meet some others from the board.
The look Solo is giving Marian is really something... they must have really made a connection!!! Maybe he was sending her a message to say "hello" to
their pooches!

That was a great evening! Nice to meet Mike finally after walking along side him on his trek to Cabo.
I didn't get to talk to everybody like BobH (sorry), but did have some great conversations with Curt, Oggie, KasheyDog, and JohnM.
Thanks Doug, DavidK, Ted, Geoff and the rest of the folks that put this evening together!

Great people, great tacos, great adventure, great storyteller.
Nice to meet several Nomads and other nice folks.
Mike's life philosophy/quote was very profund and I agree.
"Fear is the killer of dreams"
Thanks to everyone that made this evening possible!

Curt, totally agree! Quotes like this from Mike just roll off his tongue as a result of his experience. Can one imagine what his book will be
like.... Wow!
It was great meeting you.

Mike you did an excellent job with your presenatation and I think Solo worked the crowd before & after the presentation to keep people involved
with your topic,LOL. Again, thank you for sharing and giving people a better understanding of what is out there in Baja for them. Keep the travels
going and keep your health while doing things you love.
Doug, you did a great job of getting the presentation going and Mike really did a good job covering his topic in a short 2 hour talk filled with
laughter and total interest in his issues he encountered while taking on Nature. Take Care and Travel Safe------- "No Hurry, No Worry, Just FUN"

My son and I had been waiting anxiously for Mike's presentation...and he did not disappoint. The pictures were great and his narrative somehow made us
feel as though we were there with him! We were so glad to see that Solo took the time out of her "busy" retired life to meet us; she truly is an
amazing dog (dog just does not seem fitting, I believe Mike said it best...Angel). We had a long drive to get back home after the presentation and all
I could keep thinking about is the six words that Mike said toward the end, "Fear is the killer of dreams". I completely agree with you Curt63! Thanks
Mike and everyone who contributed to put this together. It was a pleasure to be is such great company with all the Nomads and what a fine dining
experience in the parking lot at 30th and Grape...awesome! Thank you John M. and Barbara for introducing us to such a wonderful place called Baja!

A great evening and so glad that I made the drive up to see it. There was an extremely long line at the border from folks who came to see the big
soccer game in Tijuana and as a result I ended up arriving just after Mike started. Really wish I could have gotten there early to have had more time
to meet and talk with all the other Nomads. It was a real pleasure to spend time with those I could and I hope I can catch the rest of you at a future
event or if you are traveling through San Quintin.
Thanks Doug for helping put on the event and congratulations to Mike and team for a wonderful adventure you shared with us all last night.
Well worth the drive!
