Posted by Anonomouse from Neal's computer in his bedroom:

Neal and his several WiW that attended were arrested by Tijuana's Finest on pimping and running a brothel (Neal) and suspected prostitution (WiW's) charges as they left the restaurant.

John M was held for interfering with an officer when he butted in. John was ah, feeling good, from his tequila birthday celebration.

Ken Cooke was arrested for promoting Jeepism in an election year, a felony, and killing an endangered snake.

After the MicroBrewery visit, several Nomads were escorted to an unknown destination by black trucks and motorcycles with flashing lights. Off-key singing? noises waifed back to the few sober Nomads. Destination Cuba? CIA secret detention?

Further details may leak out.

Neal sure has a nice wife....

Some 58 or so suspicious caracters ranging from ages 2 to 212 were escorted in to the Tijuana control and command center and were entered into the database for face recognition and through beer and wine intake were administered gps tracking devices, these suspects were calling themselves nomads and were causing trafic chaos trough the streets of the city, running red lights and stop signs. Please stay tuned for further reports as the develop.

We survived Viva Baja Cactus 2006!

All kidding aside, the event was a fantastic success and as such is a tribute to the hospitality and generosity of Antonio Muņoz ('BajaCactus') and the people of Tijuana!

From the very start in San Ysidro, Antonio was 'the host with the most'... The stops on our tour (CECUT/Baja museum, L.A. Cetto bottling plant, Cerveza Tijuana Brewery, Police Command & Control Center, Tijuana Historic Society) were all perfect to see sites and impressive (to say the least)....

The Command & Control Center blew us all away! We thought we were deep inside the Rocky Mountains at some CIA secret defence center... or the set of ROBOCOP III! Of course after dubious quantities of wine and beer, stumbling into Tijuana's futuristic police surveilence center must have been humorus to the law enforcement officers present.

Dinner was awesome... and the fun was non-stop. The rattlesnake tequila... well, I don't need to say more about the rattlesanke tequila!

Loads of door prizes including a hyper-rare miniture El Camino Real bell cast over 70 years ago donated by Max Kurillo (author of California's El Camino Real) were won by many guests.

I look forward to reading from more guests who were there!

Photos coming soon...

Be wary of tall tales!


It already seems that there have already been a few liberties with the truth regarding this TJ adventure that I think I was on.

Mum is the word (from me) until the statute of limitations runs out on some of the things that may or may not have occurred.

Has anyone seen Barbara since she was detained by U.S. Customs?

One of the few facts...


That I'll mention is that one of "us" tried to use a Costco card for ID when reentering the United States.....shame on her!

A Costco Card!!!! :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I've got to hear that story!!!!

If no-one wants to talk about it, I'll get at least one side of the story from my cousin, the Border Patrol Officer. I'm sure that the story has already spread through the troops.

From AnonoMouse:
While riffling through Mrs. Johns purse, she woke up and said "You wont find my any ID in there, I lost it in Baja....."

Why is she mad at you, John M?

And why were you washing down her margarita with tequila?
