Baja Billboard in L.A.

eetdrt88 - 10-16-2005 at 03:04 PM

i had to drive up to L.A. today and on the way about 20 min. south of the airport on the 405 freeway I saw a huge billboard with a picture of a beach and something about "Go south into Baja to see some of the most beautiful beaches,head for Guerrero Negro"...it struck me as kind of odd to see this heading north on the 405,i also recall coming home from Vegas a few weeks ago seeing a billboard about a fishing resort in Baja called Los Arcos,the sign said 350-400$ a night....i'm wondering if all this advertising is necessary...is tourism so low in baja that they need to advertise on the LA freeways?:rolleyes:

i'm thinking if they post a big ol' picture...

i'm hoping he's doing well....Coco,that is....hopefully be down there within the next month to see him myself and pay him for the t-shirts and stickers i got in the mail recently...heres a shot of some of Coco's ocotillo fences,i'm wondering if any of you baja residents have used ocotillo in this way or for any other landscaping...i really like the look of it

Now, now....throwing insults is enough (too much?) !
Let's not talk violence; and don't waste the bamboo !

They both know a lot about Baja; just differing opinions and presentation.
Maybe one of them stole the other's girlfriend in highschool ??

Insults and slander at 20 paces ?!?!?
Last one standing wins !? :lol:
Looser pays for the beer ??

I know I should shut up but I'm in a frisky mood !! :biggrin:

stop the madness!!!!

Cind,

Glad to see you've settled down a bit but, would you really do that to a poor defensless coyote ?? :lol:

GN, the only redeeming feature it has is this where you stick in the tube when you give Mexico an enema.

Check out El Nido Restaurant in Rosarito Beach. Lupe Perez, the owner has used it to a large degree as interior decorations--outside also. He has a wonderful collection of what he calls 'jonke' and what most people would call antiques from all over Mexico.

If you check I believe that you will find that it has been illegal to harvest the plant for a number of years.

Someone asked me what 'it' was---ocotillo is what 'it' is. Dang sounding like an ex President here. This is the part edited
