That sounds like the plan!

Here's an old photo from Howard Gulick:

Nah, 50,000 has to be a map.

How about a political post?
The trump administration is in the midst of a nuclear meltdown, surely there is something to talk about in that, eh?

I'm sure it will be Obama's fault when Trump gets impeached

David if you need more room you can delete the post about correcting me on the difference between Gonzaga Bay and Ensenada De San Fransquito when informing someone about where to see whale sharks

drama queen of the year.

No post is complete until old Chucky and Budda pull their panties up and jump into the pile. This one stayed on track for a while until goat inserted a little fake news.

Perhaps the 50,000 post should be the cover of your 'roadmap' book? Seems like the ride for you on BN has been a road trip in itself DK... Thanks from this one for the reads I've enjoyed in the relatively short time I've been here. P.S. You wear the miles well

Thank you, the post count means nothing to me, but whatever creates activity here is great for Doug! Click on the banner ads to help Nomad and use Baja Bound for your insurance, the sponsor of Baja Nomad!

Anytime you want to see something on Baja you think I may have, just ask!

Freediverbrian: It's all about history. The small, well-sheltered harbor between Alfonsina's and Papa Fernandez' is the original Bahía San Luis Gonzaga, named by Padre Consag in 1746 during his canoe expedition to the Colorado Delta.
The larger, more open bay, between Alfonsina's and Punta Final, is the Ensenada de San Francisquito.
Punta Final resort location was originally Puerto de San Francisquito, where gold from the Molino de San Francisquito (Molino de Lacy now) was shipped out.

I can not blame anyone for wanting to call the dual bay complex both 'Gonzaga Bay' as it is far easier than the other name! LOL

That the true Gonzaga Bay is also called 'Willard Bay' is another matter... all an error by U.S. (H.O.) map makers. The point at Papa Fernandez' is correctly Punta Willard, but the harbor (bay) and island in the bay are correctly named San Luis Gonzaga.

The more frustrating part is when Mexican government topo maps make errors, and they did here, too!

Here is the first map with the name Bahía San Luis Gonzaga (with the island in the center) made by Padre Consag after his 1746 expedition. Yes, you can argue it was for both sides of the island. San Felipe (de Jesus) and Punta (Aguage) San Fermin are also named here. Aguage means water source, very critical for travelers along this coast!



1930 Map:


1956 Map:

'San Francisquito' was the waterhole on El Camino Real (next to Las Arrastras), the arroyo between it and the gulf was also then called San Francisquito, the mill founded by Willian Lacy was called San Francisquito, and the landing (port) and bay were called San Francisquito. Perhaps as a way to separate it from Gonzaga so ships knew exactly where to land?

I hope to continue to share what fascinates me about Baja and help others enjoy it as I have for over 50 years... I have been woking on the new road guide and I hope to be able to give you all a sneak look at some of it. It will probably take me all year to produce including the research trips to collect the data.

I am looking forward to the book - we will use it for our first jeep adventure into Baja

Maybe its the Russians

Where's the Fish?

Just bought a small Yeti Tundra 35 cooler just for that purpose. Thanks for the history lesson of this area. At least now I'll know where I'm officially at. Do you ever get your line wet on your many adventures along Baja's coastline?

LOL, even I call it Gonzaga Bay, for short!
My fishing days pretty much ended when my dad died. Fishing was the reason we began going to Baja by Jeep. It soon turned into exploring trips as my parents were as fascinated with what was down those dirt roads as I became later in my life. I fished a few times with a spinning reel and rod as well as with my kids when they were small. Now, we are into 'easy' and buying a fish dinner or fish tacos is all the satisfaction I need.

Here's a few old pics:

Catching dorado off Juncalito (south of Loreto) with Ramon Villalejo, 1973.


Catching dorado off Cabo San Lucas in 1966.

LOL, thanks... I think it is good enough to just know the history, and not change the way we say the bay's name. We inform... YOU decide!

I don't know how to make previous posts appear in a box identifying the poster, but below is a post from goat. DK: 4 posts to go! I heard that your prize is a new Gateway 2000 laptop with 486 processor and 80 MB hard disk! I might add that it will have two serial ports and one parallel. Perhaps for post number 50000 David can tell me how to insert a blue box.

Really simple Bill, click the QUOTE box top right of the post you wish, and when it comes up click your cursor to the right of the[r /quote ] box, and type away.

Laguna Percebu, 1978.

David K and I have something in common. We are both about to reach a milestone. He's about to post number 50,000 and I'm about to post number 100.

I wonder if he's looking over his shoulder.
