Many thanks to Phil C, MJS, Santiago & Bajaboy for their kind remarks regarding our old Amigos Bd. It was a labor of love for Eric, Trish and me
as fishing Baja was our major love in life.
My dad had introduced my brother Jim and I to fishing all over the northern portions of Baja in the late 1930's just before WW2.
After his return home from the war in 1946, all our summer vacations were taken Ensenada or San Felipe.
I started both my pre-teen sons doing the same at Ed Tabor's old Flying Fisherman's spot in Loreto and they still retain their love of the area &
it's people.
A great deal of credit is owed to Doug for keeping this Nomad site up & running over these many years. I can tell you from experience that it can
be frustrating at times.
The problem we had was that our goal was accurate & timely information on fishing & travel conditions that were near impossible to get any
other way at that time (pre- internet). But after 10-12 years we found a upsetting transition taking place on the Amigos Bd.---the site was moving
towards becoming a soapbox for a growing group of malcontents and nut cases who saw it as a means to spread their venom about people, events &
places around the peninsula and use it as a political forum for their wacked-out theories.
When we realized that we were spending too much time babysitting & redacting trash, it was time to move on to better things.
We enjoyed the experience as a whole & would not have missed the opportunity to meet & get to know so many of our readers over the years. It
was just the frustrations that the wackos had interjected into the process that caused the endeavor to lose it's appeal.
Don't let the wackos and trolls win ! Ignore them & they will slither away. Keep Nomads main focus just as it is & let Doug know how much we
all appreciate his efforts. |
