Send a reminder out when it gets close or "bump" this. I'd like to go if I have time.

Question:

Ken Cooke - 11-28-2012 at 06:42 PM

David - Will there be books available? I'd hate to drive all the way and not be able to bring one home.

David K - 11-28-2012 at 06:48 PM

That is what we will be doing! Selling our book... yes, and we will sign books too; have the newest edition there for all of you! The Baja Calendar 2013 and all the other books on Baja are for sale, as well, at Discover Baja!
Remember they moved a couple years ago, so get the new address (1-5 to 52 to Regents to Governor)!

Looking forward to seeing you... wear your 'got baja?' hat so I can recognize you in the crowd! :biggrin:

Ken Cooke - 11-28-2012 at 07:19 PM

It is great that Discover Baja carries so many books. I remember in the late 90s, I visited the Map Centre in San Diego when it was located near SDSU. I am accustomed to following stores, and Discover Baja is programmed into my Google Maps.

Ateo - 11-28-2012 at 07:49 PM

I'll try and make it depending on work! Thanks for the reminder.

Hi Ken, no... and it is Max's slides (but some of my pics may be included)... Just to be clear, we will be there with a few others and the slides will be a background rotating file of Baja & Alta California missions. This is not just a show for our book... but instead a Winter Fiesta and will feature us, the Baja Calendar 2013, The Baja Plant Field Guide, etc.

So, please come for any Baja related interests, not just missions... wine and cheese will be served, just remember to RSVP!

Hope to see you all Saturday!:light:

FIESTA SATERDAY,Who's coming?

M - 11-29-2012 at 11:29 AM

Who will be coming to the 'Discover Baja, book signing fiesta?

I am heading down to Rosarito to drop another load of my stuff to store, at Mindy's (Jeans) house. I was going to go Friday, but am waiting until Sat. so I can hopefully meet some old Amigos and new Nomads.

Maybe if you are coming UP from Rosarito area, you can pick up Mindy? and I will take her home? She might not be up to making it, but, I just a thought to throw it out there in case.

DK, can I help set up or anything? I'm looking forward to seeing you and Angel there. Will your kids be coming? Lol...Not kids anymore are they. They grow so fast. I'm missing my G=Kids like crazy!

Also, I will have my little chihuahua with me. Is there anyplace I can put her? or, bring her in with me? I can't leave her in a hot car.

I'm counting the hours.

BIG HUGS TO ALL, M

P.S. I copied DK's post below...

Hi Michelle, it will be nice to see you again and other Baja Nomads, too! I hope Doug (BajaNomad) makes it, too... he has 'liked' the announcement on our Facebook page: http://facebook.com/oldmissions

The Discover Baja office is not very big and there will be overflow out front if a lot show up. I think Carol (DB owner) will have Max and I set up inside, since we will have a revolving slide presentation going on in the background. There may be a shade area to park for your dog, but I don't think there is any other place, unless you keep it in your purse (my mom had a tiny chihuahua). It is a strip mall and Sprouts store with a big parking lot, has trees I think, it may be cloudy?

Baja Angel is a maybe... she may take her car down, so she can leave before 5, if she comes down. My daughter and granddaughter live in Arizona and my son is not going to be there, I don't think.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing all of you... Jim of the 2013 Baja Calendar might be riding down with me, as he lives along the way and he will be filming the event... All of you with 'got baja?' hats... or Baja Nomad shirts... put on a show!

David K - 11-30-2012 at 01:26 AM

Roy, 'The Squarecircle' told me by phone he is coming... so it seems to be a small Nomad gathering after all. I am bringing my copy of the new Baja Plant Field Guide to get autographed, so I hope its author will be there too!

Ateo - 11-30-2012 at 06:58 PM

David, I had planned on attending -- but after the day of work I had today, I need Saturday to get caught up. All the best -- sounds like a fun day.

David K - 11-30-2012 at 07:00 PM

Okay Jon, understand... have a good day amigo!

Ken Cooke - 11-30-2012 at 10:25 PM

Looking forward to tomorrow. Look for Leidys and I.:yes:

David K - 11-30-2012 at 11:03 PM

Great to hear that the world famous Desert Outlaw and his bride from another continent will be there!

Ken Cooke - 11-30-2012 at 11:10 PM
