Many of Fred Metcalf's Baja pages are no longer online. However, Mike Humfreville's stories of his adventures in Baja, remain preserved... but for how
long?
Do try and view these, some may be worth saving on your machine. Not long after his book (In the Shadow of the Volcano) was published, Mike suffered a
heart attack in L.A. Bay, just days after his final story in this list:
Mike is buried at the Bahía de los Angeles cemetery. His wife, Mary Ann, still is missing after a home invasion last year at their Bahía de los
Angeles residence, a few miles south of town.David K - 7-27-2021 at 09:19 AM
They had two sons, Kevin and Mike Jr. (Miguelito).
Kevin had been the one in touch with me regarding Mary Ann.
Other materials:
Mike's book is still available from me (but only 4 copies remain) and likely at the Bahía de los Angeles museum gift shop. I would guess several
cases of it are at their home?
Mike's posts on Nomad are mostly all here by searching. advrider - 7-27-2021 at 02:01 PM
Really enjoyed his book, his kids were lucky to have such an awesome childhood. David K - 7-27-2021 at 03:41 PM

They were quite the family... I sure enjoy traveling and camping with them. They supported my Viva Baja events by helping out and were great
socializers.
A very interesting pair who met while working on America's space program at the JPL in Pasadena.
