I would really like to know who belongs to your 'Chicken Coop Group.' I am only interested because I do not wish to miss inviting members of this group to our Annual Baja Authors Gig.
Is there a membership fee involved in joining this group or do you have to be recommended. Just how does one become a member and what are the benefits of membership?

No Bernie, it's free

you just have to be quick with the u2u's and be in the "click" that sticks up for each other when one makes an attack.
Ya won't find many Mexicans or people that live here involved though.:lol:
Yer not missin out on nuthin :biggrin:

Two of the best early books on Baja are Peveril Meigs, The Dominican Mission Frontier in Lower California (1935), and Homer Aschmann, The Central Desert of Baja California: Ecology and Demography (1959). They were both historical geographers, and trained with Carl Sauer at U.C. Berkeley.

Right! And they both did such a great job of describing human activities and relationships that they're sometimes referred to as anthropologists. As someone whose graduate work was in geography, I get a bit annoyed at that.
