HAPPENING ON Wednesday March 30 2011

I was wondering if any of you would be interested having a gathering to meet each other. Informal. Simple. Easy.

Sometime between Sunday March 27 - Sunday April 3. There is many BN's in the area. I am sure that most of us have not meet each other.

I have a great outdoor area that's like a campsite...fire pit and all...at our little house in Campos Ocotillo 7 miles north of town. Or we have a large palapa structure at the water's edge. Plenty of parking. Day or early evening.

Any help here on suggestions for a meet location, date-time is encouraged.

I can supply the Bar b q meats...you can supply ?

Please let know if you are interested here on this topic post. I think it be a great day.

_______________________________________________
ADD ON UPDATE ABOUT THIS INVITE AS POSTED BELOW (somewhere).
Wednesday, March 30 IS THE SET DATE. 1130 a.m. till whenever..

Campos Ocotillo
7 miles north of town
Across from the north ejido where the tall tower is, off the M5.

Enter the well defined entrance. Go down the road until you come upon the "Y" of the street. Our house is on the "Y". Yellow, looks like a Mission de Taco Bell!

If it too windy out there, we will move on the beach where it is protected, and has a large palapa . Take the road to the left of the "Y' till it ends.

It looks like the majority will be around on this date. For the ones that this does not work out for you, my apologizes.

I say we should do this around 1130 a.m. due to the fact it may be too hot in the late afternoon.

Please bring your own chairs and alcohol if desired. I will have plenty of soft drink for you otherwise.

Bring a side dish...be great. If not...that be okay too.

House is fully opened for you to use (bathroom - A.C - Frig for food/drink - whatever)

No ties. No Sunday dress. No Viking skull caps.

This is a open invitation to all Nomads. Please let us know if you are coming by posting HERE. I want to make sure I have enough cat...er...chicken on the grill.

DavidK.....COME!

We are in SF until April 3rd! We would love to get together!

CortezBlue - 3-20-2011 at 09:06 PM

I won't be back until Easter Weekend.

Excellent!

mcfez - 3-20-2011 at 09:58 PM

Great so far! Perhaps by tomorrow night we should see roughly who is coming along. From there we can decide on a time and day for this, yes?

By the way...first five Nomads to show up, gets a free sandwich holder.

We're in. I'll bring a large batch of baked beans. Hard to beat a Baja potluck. Where is your place from Bert's and will he be there?

Oh WOW!
I didnt expect you to drive from the south to do this. Excellent dude! We even got Lou coming too.

I'll email Burt right this second to make sure that he and Adrian will be there. They bought a place up in the cooler valley to spend some week ends....

Yes....you cannot miss my house from Burt's. It's right across the street. I will be posting a detail map tonight.

It looks like most here want this to happy around March 2. That is a Saturday.

I was think that's fine. Now I need input on the best time of day. I think we will do this on my lot, the house is little but has a bathroom and kitchen.....not a hell of a lot else :-)

Great to see that bajasuzie, CDB, wornout, nbacc, bajabound2005, BajaWarrior will be coming. I know Alkshadow will be there with Val, Amy and Jack, Wayne and wife, Salvador.

This should be a great get together.

sancho - 3-21-2011 at 08:29 AM

BajaRob - 3-21-2011 at 11:40 AM

It is always difficult to accomodate everyone's schedule. In order to allow Vince and Kathleen to attend, I would suggest early to mid afternoon on Wednesday, March 30. Just my input. DENNIS will probably confirm that you do not want to get on the wrong side of Kathleen.

McFezvill got invaded by a group of gringos who got along pretty darn well and seemed to have a great time. Someone will have photos of the usual suspects and probably post them,

Thanks Deno

A great time was had by all. Could the 'Second Annual McFeztival T-Shirts be far behind'? Let's hope not. Great food, great fun, great friends.....Thanks to all who put this on....Wornout

baja829 - 3-31-2011 at 08:35 AM

We came up from the South, I believe the furthest from McFez (ok only 35 miles or so) closer to Puertecitos than anywhere. Met some really great people, good food, but best of all shared old Baja stories with McVez about the Copper Canyon and places south of here. He in turn shared some Baja books. Talked with Carol a great deal about the Food Bank here in San Felipe -- BRING FOOD as you pass through and Robert who runs the www.sanfelipenews.com and links all of our blogs to his site. So good to put some faces with some obscure names and a few surprises too!!! We should do this annually at least, and there were offers to move it around San Felipe --all topped off by a beautiful afternoon. Thanks McFez!!!!

This is Lisa from Playa Del Sol. Remember, the one who's boyfriend follows your website and told me about the barbecue. I am on his log-in because for some reason I can't register under my own name today. This website says I have to wait 24 hours?
Anyway, I just wanted to thank everyone for making me feel welcome on Wednesday. I had a great time. It was nice to meet all of you. Next time I will bring something better than just beer!

bajabound2005 - 4-1-2011 at 05:35 PM

Sorry I missed so much of the party, but hubby, Bajamigo was there with BajaRob and Connie! Bajamigo should be coming up with some fotos soon!
