Welcome to Baja Nomad... The people here are mostly great, they are appreciative of contributions and your own trip reports to share what you have
found to be of interest in Baja! Don't let the few who may throw eggs chase you away!Paula - 10-21-2007 at 10:50 PM

Never figured out the lure of the "status thing" (Although it's talked about here alot) Everytime it's brought up and I take a look and I see my
Nomad count goes to a new level, I figure that I must be talking too much, I just looked and I'm "Ultra Nomad" whatever that means..........and in
just 5 years!
Hey Doug? What happens after 10?, hope my computer won't explode!
Oh, forgot to add.........it also might mean that I'm not using my time as I should

Big numbers are indicative of three things:
1. Need for attention
2. Free time
3. Cold Pacifico on hand
I'd run this into three pages with pictures but, it's a bit early for number 3.
Maybe later.rts551 - 10-22-2007 at 08:11 AM

I would change #2 to too much time on their hands. DENNIS - 10-22-2007 at 12:31 PM

Dennis,
Too early for #3????David K - 10-22-2007 at 12:44 PM
Well, I don't watch much TV as I find Baja more interesting... unlike TV, this is a 2 way interaction with other Baja nuts.shari - 10-22-2007 at 01:42 PM
HOla castaway$, how about an introduction??? (good excuse for another post too) welcome amigo...you are in for a lot of fun on this board, it's
addictive! great info, a bit silly sometimes, a bit scary sometimes, but always entertaining.DENNIS - 10-22-2007 at 02:04 PM

No. Not now. This lousy weather requires mass quantities of Pacifico.Paulina - 10-22-2007 at 03:03 PM
Good. I was starting to worry about you...
P<*)))><castaway$ - 10-22-2007 at 06:38 PM
Thanks for the welcome Shari, I have been watching the posts for several months and decided to jump on the band wagon and join in. So far there seems
to be an interesting mix of "regulars" with lots of opinions. On your posts I noticed you seem to be the main person that posts about Bahia Asuncion,
I have checked out your website and it looks very interesting, on our next trip down I really would like to spend some time in Asuncion and get a feel
for the area. Steve
