The Baja California travel guides written and published by Cliff Cross ?
We bought our first one back in 1971 and the last in 1974. Does anyone (David K, maybe ?) still have theirs ? Somewhere I've got one packed away,
but haven't found it yet.
I just found a used bookseller online that has various copies for sale. Ordered two. Memories of the Old days.David K - 8-22-2005 at 04:22 PM

A friend of mine bought a copy in 1972 (I believe) and read it cover to cover more than once. He then arranged to make a two-week trip to La Paz
using that book. He was very disappointed to find that the Highway 1 Construction was well under way and many roads in the guide no longer existed.
All worked out, though, because he fell in love with Gonzaga Bay (Alfonsinas) and later bought a house there.
The following site also has a number of copies available:

Think I'm gonna get one. And the one on the Yucatan peninsula. I love that old stuff.
Pompano had some really cool hand drawn maps that I'd love to get hold of. I'd love to have his stuff hanging in my living room. Plus he's a great
nut!JZ - 8-22-2005 at 08:57 PM

We still have our '74 edition which we purchased before our first trip to Hotel Cabo San Lucas in April '77. What a place it was then before it
became "developed."
