An "Honored Nomad" sets a new milestone!

OMG... what do I win? LOL

Come on everyone... post your trip reports, photos, stories... keeping it interesting for this community!

Covid has sure killed the tourism flow (and far too many people)... Looking for better times soon!

I have been speaking with Andy of Commitment and there was a big need for food assistance up at San Francisco de la Sierra and Santa Marta, both heavily rely on tourism. The painted caves have been closed by the government for Covid and with that, their chief income.

They have been helping several families up there, but they could use more help. Today, it was learned that the Mulegé Municipality has brought a lot of relief to San Francisco de la Sierra... but Santa Marta didn't get any of it.

In any case, speaking up builds awareness... I speak up because Baja has been so major in my life and I want to help in the ways I can, even if just sharing information which can bring income to the peninsula.

Thanks for the recognition, Baja Nomad!

Another well deserved honor to a guy that loves Baja, loves Bajanomad and loves to share his depth of knowledge about the place we all deeply appreciate. I too have been watching the count near the big 60 Recent small sparring with my friend DK kept me making sure that he was progressing onward and upward. David, you once told me that you were pretty certain that SkiBaja/JR would ultimately pass you. Maybe now would be a good moment to pay tribute to this interesting guy that sadly passed away a few years ago.

Yes, jrbaja (Ski Baja) did leave this earth way way too soon!

Here are a few photos at his La Barca home, where we first met Baja Cactus (Antonio Jr. and Sr.) for a big meeting/ bbq. Baja Bernie, Baja Nomad, and JESSIE were also there. More photos: http://www.vivabaja.com/bajacactus/

This all happened in July 2004.

@David K: U posted these photos now about a gazillion times. R U getting old and forgetting things after 60006 (six triple o six: congrats for that and lifting my cap) ?? Last time I said: Yep and in the background his brown van he was using for long trips instead of his bamboo truck. Well, do u remember that? Talking his bamboo truck, I also told you that I was `living`for a short time w/ JR on his "bamboo ranch" in S. Bartolo. come on, be honest, do you remember that?
