By CR Beaton This is a short movie made by my grandfather "Ray Haller" in 1952. He and his friends made a trek down from California to Baja California to fish,
hunt and explore this region.
Nice to see these again Ken... The second man at the start of the movie is Mike McMahan of the Baja wall maps and book fame. His daughter Ginger took
over the updating of Tom Miller's 'The Baja Book' and published the 4th edition. Ginger's husband was Chuck Potter who published that book as well as
Jimmy Smith's book... it's a small world of Baja lovers!

It was CR Beaton's grandad... but I am sure Ken's was a pioneer, too!
He certainly was. Here is the back cover of his book "Trouble On The Trail" - Neal Johns helped me locate this book on-line which is hand-signed by
my GrandFather!
