Ateo get a spot and put DK on the email list. If you get into trouble send a help signal and as soon as DK lets me know I'll come running. You do know
of the rock paintings near the north end of the San Borja road don't you, Montevideo I think they are called.

6) San Vicente (if the gate is open)
7) Santa Gertrudis... lucky if the door is unlocked.

Santa Gertrudis is really cool and is a must see! I was blown away with all the relics and the professionally done literature for sale/donation. But
it is located in Baja Sur.

You're awesome Tom. I would do the same for you. I have a SPOT and usually put a few friends on it. I'll add DK. One of the reasons I was thinking
Borja was for those paintings. I hear the family out there will take you to them?

Thanks Bajaboy. I was just about to pull out my missions book to track down Gertrudis until you mentioned it was in Sur. I'll keep this filed in my
mind for the future. Gracias amigo.

If you're headed that way and I'm at our place, I'll join you. We went out that way last summer but were stopped just short of the mission due to a
crazy washout shown in the first picture here: http://bajaboyadventures.blogspot.com/2015/06/playa-san-rafa... That entire area is so beautiful!

I was looking at my AAA map, and El Arco and the Gertrudis mission are just over the border, in BC north.
As far as I know, there is no wall on the border yet!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Confirmed, Santa Gertrudis is in BAJA Norte... best access without going into Sur is south of L.A. Bay via Bahia San Rafael.

Does anyone else find it amusing how DKs special places require hushed conversation but anyone else asking for the same from him gets a big middle
finger along with verbal diarrhea?

I'm just pointing out the obvious. I got nothing to prove.

So David, Can I take to some of my favorite beaches?
Tough when you get hijacked.

Dave, I'd like to see this special place in the next revision of your book. That would really be the icing on the cake!

What do you do when somebody takes you to a place that you have already been and asks you not to post it?

Yes, and if ask me not to publish their locations I will honor that request as I always have with anyone who shows me a new place.

MMc, if I had already been there then I wouldn't be taken to it, I would be returning.
Both of you: I have met hundreds of Nomads and there is no resaon for me to think I am so special that I need to keep any place secret from any Nomad,
most I can consider as amigos. It is the people who don't come to Nomad you should worry about. |
There are lots of great people who do not frequent NOMADS. Where the hell did you ever get that?

all are great people and no reason to not share a camping location with them. I can't speak for people I do not know or have been able to read posts
from. Obviously, Woody and MMc thinks there must be some terrible folks that they fear will come and ruin some remote beach that they go to a few days
out of the year? While these remote beaches have been in books and maps for over 60 years, they somehow think my posts here on Nomad will do some harm
that 60 years of publications have not??? I feel so honored!!
Anyway, this thread is a classified ad for my history book... any questions about what is in the book? |
no
