Pining ...

When the snow finally melted off the top of our camper, the damage was visible. 3' of snow covered with 3" of ice was a little more weight than the old roof could hold. Made me realize that my occasional daydream of hitching the camper and heading to Baja on a whim, won't be possible for a while.

The RV mechanic came by to give an estimate to repair the damage and as we went over things I found little chuckles ....
"The frame is warped from front to back"..... Ah those Baja roads.
Shari, remember when I bunny-hopped the rig onto our property ?
"What's with all the sand in the shower drain ?" ..... Ah ...
"What's with the 2 cases of empty Pacificos ? .....


But sadly I realized that it's been 3 years since our last aborted trip as far as El Rosario.
Still seems like last year.
Thankfully, we'd made it 6 years in a row before then and many more before that.

SOOOO looking forward to our next trip. !!!!!!!

Thanks all for reminding me of the changes and sameness of my favorite places.
Here's to next year !!

On edit:
I just checked with my wife and she confirmed that it's only been 3 years, not 4.
I feel a very little bit better.

4 years!!!!! it really does only seem like 2!!! at least to me.....

Woody,
If it was really only 3 years, then how would you feel ?

Still looking forward to meeting you some day.
Anyone married to a woman with a championship smile like Bia's can't be all bad !

Mrs Diver has been pushing me to go alone for 2 years now.
With 1 in college and employees to keep employed, it hasn't made sense.
But maybe "sense" has nothing to do with it !?!?

And strangely; I still have the same truck.
Anyone wanna buy an '04 F350 crew ??

That truck is NOT allowed to enter Baja again!

Ira, I feel your pain. We'll skip this year for budgetary sanity. I considered borrowing the money from communist china, but I don't like owing them.

I just keep adding more coats of flexi roof seal to the camper!! It's getting to be a Mexico rig for sure.

At least we have just enough frozen water in wide long patches below our ski lifts that in 6 hours today I was able to make enough runs to light matches on my quads, and go home smiling from ear to ear!

No snow in the forecast.

Surfers have it better. They can surf in NorCal, but I sure can't ski in Baja!

All my best

I ski when I want to, got a GFR of 46, I am well!

No worries on the property.

I think Bahia Acuncion has enough to go around.

Thanks TW.
If I ever take the same truck down again, I will let you know my itinerary, just in case.

Martyman...

NOMAD

A member of a group of people who have no fixed home and move according to the seasons from place to place in search of food, water, and grazing land.


I suspect that Ira can get out of this charge by virtue of having a fixed residence, and because he travels for fish, beer, and open land which have no fixed seasons.

Otherwise, it seems clear that not visiting Baja seasonally WOULD be some sort of violation of Nomadhood.
