100th Post

bajacalifornian - 1-28-2011 at 09:44 PM

I made it through boot camp as a newborn, continued on as a child, been locked on a post, learned to download images, become acquainted with many as a lurker, see bunches of stars with numbers like 2,591 & 25,944, met dear friends as Geo_Skip, and continue to be surprised by reluctance of Baja lovers to trust their dreams. Much to say, poco a poca. Much to listen to and learn as well. First time with a "social website". Still prefer e-mail to U2U, but learning. Still haven't done a "quote", or ventured to the other side of the veil, at least with a post.

That said, thanks for being here.

It is funny... and fine with me... I have that many posts because besides being the oldest guest of Doug's forum, I love 'talking Baja'. It is a way to give back all that I have absorbed and aquired (books, maps, photos) of Baja.

Jeff, welcome and you are a great addition to Nomad! I would enjoy reading your story on how you came to live in Lopez Mateos... :light:

I would enjoy reading your story on how you came to live in Lopez Mateos... (quote David K)

Short story.
Loreto is my home. I live across the road from Ed Tabor's old place.

I'd left San Diego, my last home in the States basically in protest. There, I'd always had a man cave away from home. Reading between lines written by Gene Kira, my family spent a couple nights a first time in Lopez. By 2002, I rented a house built by the canary . . . had no water, kitchen or bathrooms. Rent was 500 pesos a month. It became my home, "fish camp" & man cave. In the years since, I stay 3-4 days on all good tides October through Christmas and into January. Lopez, with San Diego weather, we escape Loreto occasionally during periods of heat.

A second house, evolving over time, is where Mike and family will be staying.

Very cool... Do you know The Hoyt's?

Their youngest son and mine were friends since 5th grade here in Oceanside... Been to their old home many times... mostly picking up and dropping off the boys.

Their son was born in Mexico, so now they have a business out on Magdalena Island (I think)... We took him camping with us to Shell Island once... Ken Cooke was there and took photos of them and posted here.

Oh well... just a side bar... Carry on!
