Bob and Susan - 10-4-2004 at 04:24 PM

JESSE - 10-4-2004 at 04:26 PM

Paulina - 10-4-2004 at 05:09 PM

Is this a computer radio thing only, or can us regular working stiffs listen via a.m. radio?

MexicoTed - 10-4-2004 at 05:12 PM

A couple notes:

1) You can have a drink or two (i.e. Pacifico! Tequila!) as this is internet radio, no rules against it.

2) For the last message (Paulina), it's on the internet, not AM and you can listen through the speakers on your computer.

David, sounds like it will be a busy and fun show.

Well, we were responding to Paulina at the same time... Yes Ted, perhaps no 'dead air' for lack of questions... or subject matter! My love of Baja goes back almost 40 years, there's a lot of memories!

Satellite Man... YOU are one of the Nomads I suggested to Ted to have on... so YOUR TIME WILL COME, my friend!

I do think all you 'other' Baja Nuts are special and interesting!

Here is Paulina with Debra riding behind on P's quad, Camp Gecko a couple years ago...

pappy - 10-4-2004 at 06:40 PM

well david, i will be in the classroom at that time, but will tune in anyway-let the kids hear someone else besides me speak of the beauty and virtues of Baja! :yes:

Pappy

David K - 10-4-2004 at 07:28 PM

What do you teach, what grade?

Have your students email or phone in a question if appropriate.

Remember that 'Baja' was California FIRST! The first California mission was NOT San Diego! Junipero Serra started his trek in Loreto and founded his first California mission at San Fernando Velicata (not San Diego Alcala). :yes:

It's All Good!

Don Jorge - 10-4-2004 at 08:43 PM

Good luck David!

#1 - 10-4-2004 at 08:49 PM

I'll be traveling tomorrow and won't be online, so I would like to ask David K my question here.

Do you ever sleep? :lol:

David K - 10-4-2004 at 10:10 PM

NO! :lol:

(with "so much Baja and so little time", I cannot)

pappy - 10-4-2004 at 11:27 PM

yep-i try to stick with" just the facts mam" serra and columbus aren't two of my favorite people in history-high school for several years and now middle school(with some guest lectures at various universities as well)

David K - 10-4-2004 at 11:34 PM

Understood...

Knowing how you feel regarding the way Europeans (some) treated the Indians, I HIGHLY recommend Dave Werschkul's new book: 'Saints and Demons in a Desert Wilderness' http://www.bajamission.com
You WILL like the angle he views the Baja mission system with.

Has the Radio host discussed a list of proposed topics or is this going to be improv?

Perhaps the discussion may wander to book reviews

tunaeater - 10-5-2004 at 07:50 AM

Good luck David and have fun. Let us know how it goes...Paul

David K - 10-5-2004 at 06:37 PM

It was a lot of fun! I was surprised at how quickly time passed by, doing the show! Man, get me talking about Baja and watch out!

Anyway, Antonio just IM'ed me that today's show is on the web site now so I can hear what you guys heard...

pappy - 10-5-2004 at 07:03 PM

Dave- thanks for the tip on the book.will search it out this weekend. :yes:

David K - 10-5-2004 at 07:25 PM

Hi Pappy, I talked about a few books, huh? The Choral Pepper book is called: 'Baja California: Vanished Missions, Lost Treasures, Strange Stories Tall and True' published by The Ward Ritchie Press c 1973 and revised edition in 1975. A gem of a little book. $1.95 was the original price and I saw it on eBay for $60 I think!

Yo, DAVE......jayhawkers RULE!

David, couldn't catch you yesterday so listened today. You were great!

Linda

David K - 10-6-2004 at 05:45 PM

Thanks everybody!

What I do with Baja is as much for you as it is for me... Let me know what you would like to discuss... it is my pleasure!

The one show was far too short (it seemed) to get into many areas...

I did want to mention about the Internet... about Amigos de Baja (where many of us first connected)... about 'Baja Fever' (that disease most of us have)... That 'banditos' and 'federales' are code words used by many of us to keep (too many) other gringos from going south! That I started driving into Baja (without parents) at 16 years old and have NEVER had anything like that happen (that weird call from a Larry or Barry, regarding hit and runs).

I think I plugged Baja Nomad enough... you think so? The reason I did, is listeners can come here 24/7 for updated road and travel reports or just continue chatting about Baja!

I will be back on, by the way, perhaps in a month or more though... It is important to keep bringing more Baja fans on... the diversity is interesting... Satellite Man, BajaCactus, Graham Mackintosh, Neal Johns, Mike Humfreville, Wild Bill, Jack Swords, ... the list really is endless!

How so many different kinds of people, with different careers, financial status, backgrounds, etc. can all come to a place like Baja for their emotional, mental, physical gratification... THAT is the magic of Baja. It IS the cure for the civilized world!!! :yes:

Marie-Rose - 10-7-2004 at 07:56 AM

Really enjoyed the show David!! Your passion came through loud and clear!!
Glad to hear you will be doing it again.

Debra - 10-7-2004 at 10:54 AM

Can someone please stop by my house (it's only about a thousand miles) and fix the sound "thingy" on my computer?

I not only missed David's show (and the others prior) but I can't even hear the Camp Gecko music!

, this really sucks! :rolleyes:

Shell Beach/Island

viabaja - 10-7-2004 at 12:39 PM

Dave,

Caught your interview - very good. Keep us mind when you are making the lecturing circuits!!!

One comment that you made about camping spots and Shell Island. If I didn't know better, I would think access was all the time to the beach, even when it gets wet. People need to understand that is not so. The access (there are 2) and I don't count crossing at Percebu or from Santa Maria as part of it, does get water at a 16'7" high tide. The higher the tide, the more water it holds that equates to soft clay mud that will suck the uneducated upto the floor boards! It takes a week or more to dry out - depending on the tide height. I pulled out a 4x4 (2) weeks ago who misjudged. His comment was he heard that it was accessable all the time, even when wet.

Just info for those wanting to camp on Shell Beach/Island. Also & unfortunate, the stretch of beach is a "zoo" during holiday weekends. I was down over Memorial weekend and because the tides permitted access, there were (I'm not joking) at least 100+ people up & down the beach with all their trash, loud music, & noisy ATV's! It is becoming too well known and like everything else in Baja, getting trashed. I've been down on weekdays and have been surprised by the amount of people camped.

One other comment. The locals call that area "drug beach" due to the pangas coming in at night dropping off their loads. This is because there are no houses there, it's not too far from San Felipe, access is reasonable with a 4x4 on low tides, and is not watched alot by the Army. For those who are camping, keep to yourselves at night and don't put alot of interest in lights off the water.

"Barry" is not "Barry A."

Barry A. - 10-7-2004 at 01:11 PM

I just wanted to point out that the "Barry" that David K. was referring to in his last post above on 10/7 is NOT ME!! I may be wierd, but I would never make wierd comments about hit & run situations---- unless it happened to me, of course. There is an interloper out there using my name.

I was regretably not able to hear David's presentation and question-answering up here in Redding (N. CA), and, like others, I am unable to access the audio portion of the web site referred to by everyone.

Whew, got that off my chest!!!! Barry A.

David K - 10-7-2004 at 03:21 PM

Please email Ted if you cannot hear the show. I have not heard it on my pc either, it will not make the connection.
However, I found that my WebTV could play it. If you missed the live show, it is archived and can be heard 24/7, as can other Baja Talk Radio shows.

Barry, I knew it wasn't you or any other Nomad... Thanks!

Bob and Susan - 10-7-2004 at 06:30 PM

Great job David!!!!

:yes:

JESSE - 10-7-2004 at 06:42 PM

I am listening to it right this moment.
