For all of us unfortunates who do not live in Baja, what images of Baja do you have on your wall?
Me, I have a poster purchased at the Museo in BLA...

A classic five foot tall Mike McMahan Baja wall map is above my fireplace and four Baja satellite image posters (www.satprints.com) also on my living room walls (San Felipe, Puertecitos, Bahia San Luis Gonzaga, Bahia de los Angeles). In addition the painting
from Choral Pepper and one from Hugo Lopez of El Rosario.
Yup, when you walk into my home there is no doubt that I have 'Baja fever'!!!
In my home office...

An original autographed 1986 Esperanza poster map of Baja Califorina Sur by Hope Bartmess (Doeling). A gift from Barbara Williams whose photographic
credits can be found on her fathers Baja guidebook. A neat lady, a nice gift. I inspected a house she was selling a couple of years ago.
Well, ... and at least ten photographs of my casita in San Nicolas.AmoPescar - 1-23-2007 at 12:59 AM
I've got this wall map in the same room as my computer. While browsing Baja Nomad, I sometimes need to walk up to it to remind me where a place is.
But, since it's in my view, I also like to stop and look at it sometimes, wishing I was there.
It's size is 17" wide x 75" tall. It's got a nice coated finish. I purchased it at a small shop in Ensenada. I think it was about $10 USD.

Amo,
I've got the same map (circa 2001) that I probably bought at the same shop in Ensenada (a bookstore on Av Lopez Mateos).

We've got our "wall of shame" to help us through the baja blues.

hey capt mike,
those 16th century Spanish maps must be something - i love looking at those old explorer maps... here there be dragons, or rocky shores - doh!
capt. mike - 1-23-2007 at 01:22 PM
lots of that stuff in the anitiques section of collectibles on ebay.
that great map !

Doug, Michael ~ or anyone in the know....
I would really love to have one of those great (large) maps to nurse me through this N. Idaho winter....
Would a fellow nomad who is able to, be willing to pick one up for me and send it to me... (available at the shop in Ensenada~ a bookstore on Av
Lopez Mateos possibly other places??). Happy to pay for it and return a favor, of course!
OR.... if someone knows another source...??
My next trip to Baja will be after / by way of S. Korea... quite the detour, eh...?
Thanks Amigos

Greg, I have that same poster, also purchased in BoLA in 2005. It is haning on my wall at the office to keep me sane at work.
I have many pictures framed at home, but this one from 2004 is one of my favs:
capt. mike - 1-26-2007 at 05:41 AM
so many asked via PM about my maps for sale, that i just re upped the threads from the dark dingy depths of the misc. classifieds.
