I escaped to Baja many times during those years, before and after then.

Sorry Doc------------"BLM" equals "Bureau of Land Management", (Dept. of Interior) which manages about a fifth of the United States total land area (mostly in the west & Alaska), and much of the Deserts and foothill country of California.

Let's see...In 1975, I was still a teen in high school in a small town in No. California...Willits. My first trip to Baja was still 4 years away....happy to say that I can no longer count how many trips I've made down since then.

In 75 I had just started an electrical engineering job at Tektronix in Beaverton Oregon.

That winter we drove the newly paved Highway 1 to Cabo. Here is a picture of Lands End from the beach.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is an agency within the United States Department of the Interior that administers American public lands, totaling approximately 247.3 million acres, or one-eighth of the landmass of the country.[1] The BLM also manages 700 million acres (2,800,000 km2) of subsurface mineral estate underlying federal, state, and private lands. Most public lands are located in western states, especially Alaska. With approximately 11,600 permanent employees and close to 2,000 seasonal employees, this works out to over 21,000 acres (85 km2) per employee. The agency's budget was US$1,129,000,000 for 2012 ($4.59 per surface acre).[2] The 2014 budget request is expected to increase the Bureau's budget by approximately three percent.
