BajaCactus Cultural Fiesta 2005...!!!
Hi everyone... I have been extremely busy and have missed being a part of this forum... however sometimes I take a quick glance at the posts and
DavidK has been keeping me informed as well...thanks David.
Last year, as you may remember, a lot of friends came down to Tijuana to the BajaCactus Cutural Fiesta 2004...we had a wonderful time by the way.
This year, I planned to do something special for you in El Rosario... using as a theme the foundation of the Mision de Nuestra Se?ora del Rosario de
Vi?adaco, which in a way gave birth to the town of El Rosario.
Well... you are the first ones to know... I managed to get the PEOPLE OF TOWN involve in this... and in my last trip to El Rosario, we finally set up
a comittee and began working on it.
As a courtesy to the people and to my fellow businesses in town, I agreed to change the name to Baja Rosario Festival 2005!!... it will be held on the
22nd, 23rd and 24th of july.
We are planning to have guided tours to the local and surroundings missions ruins and cave paintings, rodeo shows (a tradition to locals), an expo
food with local home made meals, the coronation of the first queen town, camping on the beach, parties, dancing, traditional dancings shows,
mechanical fair and many, many thing we are still working on....
In El Rosario, there have been few small celebrations of different kind, but as far as anyone can remember, this will be the first time a celebration
of the foundation of the town will be held, everyone is very excited and you are all invited...
Well, that is what I have at this time, I will post more information as it becomes available.
Antonio M.

This is a new beginning for El Rosario... which always has been a gateway to the exciting central peninsula of Baja California!
As I discovered last Thanksgiving weekend, El Rosario itself is a wonderful destination for numerous interesting side trips and adventures... http://vivabaja.com/1104
Last August, many of us were privilaged to attend Antonio's first event for Baja Nomads, The Baja Cactus Cultural Fiesta in Tijuana at CECUT and
PALMAZUL... http://vivabaja.com/fiesta
Earlier last year, Antonio and his family had invited a few of us for an initial meeting to discuss how his Baja Cactus tourist services in El Rosario
could meet the needs of the Baja bound travelers and to start a personal relationship with the Baja Nomads. JR Baja invited us to use his and Carol's
sea side home for the meeting... http://vivabaja.com/bajacactus The hospitality was outstanding!
I look forward to attending the July event, in El Rosario! If I can show you to any of the sites pictured in my 1104 web page, it would be my
pleasure. Naturally a tour of both mission sites in Rosario would be tops on the list.
Most of us have only known El Rosario as a great place to fill our gas tanks... Now, we will know El Rosario as a great place to have a festival!

Antonio,
Count us in! If you still have any rooms, I would like to reserve one for my wife and I.
Ever since you told me about having the 2005 Fiesta in El Rosario when we stayed with you back in December, I have been waiting to hear confirmation
of the dates. If this fiesta is anything like the last one, then it will truly be an event not to be missed.
I can't wait!

There is secure parking in the motel compound, next door to the Pemex station (which is also part of Baja Cactus, El Rosario).

Antonio, this sounds great! If we can make it we will be in our cabover camper. Like David said, many of us just know El Rosario as a place to buy gas
and eat a couple of tacos. It will be fantastic to learn more about this area of Baja.

CAMPING during Baja Rosario Festival 2005...
After seeing how quickly rooms are being reserved for the July festival, I called Antonio at noon today with the news... I mentioned a couple people
wanted to camp. Antonio said arrangements will be made to have camping at La Bocana beach, less than 4 miles from El Rosario. Trash cans and porta
potty will be set out. El Rosario's three motels will be booked up pretty fast, so this secure camping option will be welcomed. That beach is so
beautiful anyway! Here it was, last November...

Remembering that beach
David K,
We slept on that beach in '69 in the K-Bar-S bronco that we picked up after a race. We landed on Laguna Chappla were the drivers had left it broken
down. We drove to that beach & listen to Wolfman Jack on the AM radio while we went to sleep.

Yah, in 1969 I listened to Wolfman Jack every night too... 50,000 watts, XERB, Rosarito, Baja California, Mexico! I just loved hearing the Baja
California part!
