Not to change away from Jack Rotar - BUT Wow! I am feeling like an old timer. Although my first trips to Baja were with my parents when i was a
wee'un... my later trips were with a guy from Dana Point who introduced me to the Swallows... being just barely 21! The guy worked at Black Bart's
and went to Baja often - he took me to Gonzaga, and Papa Fernandez'. The I ventured out on my own to CSL!
Looking forward to going back in a few months after 20 years, this time to Mulege (and yes I am taking our power tools and plenty gas for the air
compressor.)

Was that Black Barts dive shop? Wow sweetie, you are an old timer but, you sound young at heart. [ Jeezo....I hope you're a girl ]
Did you know Rotar? If you were within a million feet of him, you had to know him, in a way.
Good plan with a good heart, your trip to Mulege at this time. They will appreciate your help.
Later..... Dennis

I tried to buy this in 1983
This was one of the first pieces of property in Baja that I ever tried to buy. I made an offer of $30,000, paid an attorney named Peter Thompson $250
as a retainer and to do a title search. Once the offer was made, the family rejected it and took it off the market. I still have the file after all
these years with the photo...

Even Got a young Carlos Fiesta involved
La Salina was a blast. The last time Carlos Fiesta and I visited the cantina last year, it was full of raging drunks having fun. They sure did serve a
good margarita! Thanks for the update.

Polaroid Photos have held up well for 23 years...
I took my friend Joe to see the place and get a second opinion. He thought the place was such a dump. All I saw was a great oceanfront piece of
property that I could never afford in California Alta!

Juan ----
Great shots. I still have all my old Baja fotos and like yours, they mean a lot to everybody as history lessons. When the memory is still intact,
it stops the hands of time.
Thanks for this.
Later .... Dennis

Sick I am!
Runner I am sending you ten copies to get you off my back--and because you did such a great job where I needed it.
This run is over! Enjoy!

I was at Bernie's today and was the proud recipient of book #1!
I was about to post the cover on the Nomad Literature Forum, but I see it belongs here too!
