Madblack. Perhaps you will rest a little easier knowing that for many Bajaphiles, what is happening in the outside world slowly recedes into
meaninglessness. Not to say that your friend has no concern for those that care about him, but it is likely that he knows that he is JUST FINE, and
can't imagine that anyone would be worried about him. I can't imagine a better place than BajaNomad, though, to get the news you seek. Good luck.

thankyou for your kind words , I hope you are right , just not like him to drop out for this amount of time, this is his last email , sent dec16 08
Hi again from los frailies finally after some tranny problems & back pain & if you dont have a story to tell about the trip down here
then you have not been to baja so its all good.Ive set up my camp that took 4 days of raking cow chit & toilet paper setting up the outer
shower,water resevoir &unloading the quad,boat & other assorted parafenailia.My trail that I made up the arryo last year is still open and
now used by a lot of the regulars at least the ones who still can The vegetable truck came just before me and it wont be back till early jan so ill
either take the quad to lerra berra 20 milles away or San Hossea 35 miles usually you get invited to join a group that are taking there quads to one
or the other.Sadie entertains herself all day standing around a bush,tree,or rock waiting for a gecko to make a mistake ive only seen her get one
& that was a baby she is also wussing up about the thorns she just stops imediatly so I can remove it. Well the holidys are near so I hope there
good to you,this is my chistmas present to me Adios Amigos love Hyme

Jim and Sadie are just fine.
They were at Frailes for a while, then went back to the hot springs. He returned my movies (DVDs) and took off a few days ago from here.
Stop worrying...this is Baja, not LA.
