Reports of my death are somewhat exagerated....

seems that there is a rumor going around Bahia that I croked not yet, Ive gotten some emails and messages on my home phone that folks are worried so I figured this is the best way to let everybody know.

Note to others: See what happens when you don't go on Nomad's or check email for awhile?

Well... Debra, glad I still have the opportunity to meet you!

What a great way not to go! Welcome back ):

That's a good one. People hear you have passed on so they send you emails.

Yes, Dennis..........I emailed to Coral Pepper hopeing he family would read it after she died and a few weeks I was IMing with Baja Gal-pals when a window popped up telling me I had an email from her, I had forgotten about the email I had sent so it really freaked me out.......it was her children thanking me for my email.

Dang Bob, I should have thought of that! (or maybe not?)

I think I have gotten to the bottom of how this started, seems one of the "workers" whom has never worked for me (I was warned about him) was telling people that now that I have died he was out of work..........Sheesh! what a way to drum up business!

I did come to his rescue once when he was out of gas,.........not good deed goes un punished I guess.

No it couldn't be true... since you alread died from heat stroke on the trail to Tinaja de Yubay, back in July 2001 on your first outing with us crazy Baja Amigos!

No help from your cell phone... only a well placed Viva Baja bumper sticker to attract attention!



Mike Humfreville was the first to find her body... that's his leg in the photo.

Seriously, very happy it was a false alarm my friend! Otherwise there would be thunder in the clouds as you and Mike H. statred one of your 'debates' aroud the campfire! LOL

'Debra' (formerly known as 'travelpearl') talking with another guest at the Pyramid Resort.

Yes 24Baja......my "unit" is right at the launch ramp.

You guys are really bad, bad boys!

I want to say thanks for all the kind words (some of you anyway :lol and for those of you who joined me here at Nomad's for my "cyber-wake"

To more important things: NO! YOU DON'T GET MY BEACH OR MY NEW BANO!!!!!!!

No...........you guys do.

That is just too funny! Years ago a cousin of mine in Texas was reported as having passed in the local paper. They had gotten the name wrong and the news spread around town like wildfire, including my aunt - his mother. When he called to tell her that he was still alive she fainted at the sound of his voice on the phone, thinking his ghost was calling her. The family still gets a good laugh over that one and we love to remind him each year when the date rolls around of his "passing".
