Thank you, Maron!
Baja history is so complex and intriguing. So much is still untold and so much more is yet to be discovered! The new book has all the interesting details for readers to enjoy... coming soon!

Yes, Max has a good mind still and recalls the trip. In one of your photos at the Descanso cemetery, I see Max. Was Ed Vernon also along on that trip or only when you were down around Real de Santa Ana?

That's what I thought but wasn't sure if he was with either of you at Descanso.
Thanks!
PS The new book's ISBN number arrived and many of your photos grace the new mission read.
I just shared the cover on my Facebook page and will do a post here when I am about ready to go to the printer. Maybe two weeks?
