The book should be available soon, and I will post when I hear more details on how you can order one!

David, you said Mikes H. new book, did he write one before this one?
David K - 10-29-2005 at 03:57 PM
No, maybe if I put it like this it would be more clear? : it's a NEW BOOK by Mike Humfreville... But, Mike's book has been in the works for several
years... ever since their home burned to the ground and took all their photos with it... Mike started putting his Baja memories into words.
As I understand it, this NEW book covers their two summers about 10 years apart: Living on the shore of Bahia de los Angeles in the early 70's (where
Camp Gecko is now) and again with their sons, north of La Gringa (Las Cuevitas) in the early 80's.

HEY DAVID , I will be heading down Thurs to Bahia to my place at Gecko. Do you know if he checks his E mail in town? We have the trailer spot next to
# 13 palapa and was going to stop by anyway. Indeed again congratulations Mike and Mary Ann !
David K - 10-30-2005 at 05:11 PM
Maybe... give it a try!

Of course, Mike is going to donate at least one copy of his book to the El Rosario library. Right?
Debra - 11-1-2005 at 11:57 AM
aha Baja, yes Mike and MA do check their email in town, They had planned on heading back North by now, but, I haven't heard from them so I think they
are still down there.
I just talked to on of their sons on the phone and he said that they are having such a great time they will probebly stay another 3wks. or so. LUCKY
STIFFS!

looking foward for this book..

Listen to Baja Talk Radio ... today's guest was Mike!
VERY NERVIOUSO
Mike Humfreville - 11-24-2005 at 10:11 PM
Ted is a great host. It's still a difficult thing for me to do any form of large scale public communication and self promotion.
I very much want to see my writing have influence, but I want it to be based on its credibility and validity rather than what I say about it.
I value Ted's show as a way of increasing the communication we share of Baja. And I very much appreciate his having me on. I was just very nervous.
Just imagine.
Thanks Ted and thanks to Jennifer Redmond and Diane and all the folks at Sunbelt Publications for your support in getting my first work out there.
Mike
David K - 11-24-2005 at 10:23 PM
Mike, you did great!
Sharing your love of Baja is a good thing and not self promotion!!
I look forward to having you autograph my copy and having it among my other great books about Baja, proudly in my Baja library...
I won't be able to see you at Discover Baja on Dec. 2, but Elizabeth and I will be in L.A. Bay for New Years... So, I would be honored if you would
autograph my copy then!
Thank you!

Mike Humfreville - 11-25-2005 at 06:45 PM
We're planning on heading back down on about 12/28 and Gecko is full of friends we've met off Nomads, Freds and the old Amigos furums, so I'm sure
we'll see you there.
