And he lives at a mission...
And he was the 1st palm tree brought by the priest on the boat...
And he is soo tall now he can see over the horizen. (The future)
And little children have watered him starting with a small native child who was brought to the mission... found with his mom who was killed by a
cougar saving him.
It's a miracle...
And to this very day... a small child pours a humble cup of water from that same spring blessed by the PADRE...
OK DavidK.
That's your motivation. Time to shine boy!

I've wanted (and have done quite a few already) to follow in the footsteps of Erle Stanley Gardner's Baja's adventures. You can preface the
destination with excerpts from his books, and then follow through with your own experience. Mex. 1 had not yet been paved, but finding his campsites
through photos or descriptions, and then camping in the same place with current observations (many likely unchanged in 50 years) would be interesting.
Visiting the ranchos, meeting the same families …. At least good for a Baja Bound Article.

Oh not a book. I can see you on PBS as the Huell Howser of Baja.
You can go to well known and not so well known parts of Baja and
Make observations like " so here we are at the yellow ice house where Amarillo is yellow but hielo is ice?"
"That's confusing!"

Mining shaped Baja for many many years. The history is fascinating and there are still locations throughout Baja with remains of that history. You
already know of the San Antonio area and that resource. Baja Sur is a wealth of sources and mining does not have to be defined by just gold and
silver. Then there are the current functioning mines all over the peninsula. Like the missions, these ruins are vanishing and need to be documented.

Did not vote for any of the 2 options. Suggestion: go on an adventure, write about it.
Woke!

There are THREE options.
Thank you Nomads who do read my posts and like to have Baja stories or information on your bookshelf... or at least here on Baja Nomad!
So far Option A has twice the votes of either of the other two... but with only 8 of you casting votes, it really isn't a good time to judge the
results! LOL

This one is going to very difficult - Document as many roadside memorials as possible along Route 1 - I always wonder about the person(s) memorialized
there.
