Thanks Bruce,
I will drop-in the 1st of Nov and say hi, if all gos well. I understand you work there (Mulege).
Do large(33') RV's go there?
I will be staying 3+- days at each beach (maybe more beaches then I think) on the way down, but no set time in Mulege or Loreto. Looking to retire
there.
Seems to me a lot of people are upset over new comers??
I just want to fish, not step on others toes.
Thanks Albertroundtuit - 8-2-2005 at 09:28 PM
Don't worry about being new. Went to Mulege last Jan for a month \. Loved the pepole and the town. Ended up buying there. Went down in April with my
first load, hopfuly Sept for my next load and Oct with and other for the winter. Bruce R Leech - 8-2-2005 at 09:29 PM

How do you get this book and does it apply to Baja only or Mexico mainland as well?

Depends on the attitude of these "newcomers".
Fishing and hanging out

H i Al, if you just want to fish and hang out you will soon find friends where ever you go in Baja. You will soon find out, by observation, why some
of us get a little upset with the other kind of people you might encounter. You know, the loud, obnoxious gringos' who know everthing and want you
to share their view point.
Most people who live in Baja, or who spend a lot of time there, will judge you on what you do and not on what you say so keep that in mind. The
attitude expressed on this board is often influenced by a bad day, a hangover, bad grades, a nasty boss and many other things. Also, a good week on
this board can also be influenced by a good day with the boss, a raise in pay, additional vacation time pending retirement, etc.
"Just come on down" and things will work out. Bring the book, and the others I believe you have, and afer a few weeks you will enjoy rereading them
on one of those long, warm days. I know I still do.
