Just found a few more slides from that trip while visiting my mother-in-law---John thought his ex-wife had all of them. Can't wait to scan them.
Also saved some slides from the shredder---89 year old mother-in-law is sorting and was sure no one would be interested in their 1966 trip to San
Quintin and to the mainland of Mexico, and their trip in their camper to Cabo the first year the road was paved----glad we got there in time!

Here is a 1955 photo at San Vicente mission from the valley looking up:
and another Howard Gulick photo at the mission:
Do you think it could be the same???

Thanks

Is this thread going to the pigs or what?
You guys are going to be sorry that I got the scanner thing figured out!
Here is my very first pig encounter. You could probably guess that the year was 1980 by my sunglasses and Dolphin shorts. This was taken in San Felipe
as I was walking to Club Bar Miramar. The pig head gave me a start, and my friend just happened to have his camera ready for the shot. I think he knew
it was there and I was set up.
It is kind of a happy looking pig head...

OK, lets keep it gone to the pigs
Love that Pig's head and the outfit!
One being delivered to the meat market---ok, not Baja, but Santa Barbara del Cobre on the mainland
And these cute piggys were in the market in Patzcuarro, Mexico
Our lawn mowers in Honduras---these guys ran loose in the streets along with some cows, thus we and the dog took worm medicine every three months.
Got to find the ones from Equador where they had a roasted pig on every corner---same pig was there for days

When I was in the mountains of Chihuahua the outhouses had no holes dug in the ground for human waste. Instead the lower back portion of the outhouses
was cut away. Take a wild guess what happened to the excrement…You guessed it the pigs would come in and eat it. These same pigs were slaughtered and
eaten by the people. I just loved chicharrones.

It was against my religion to eat pork.(Edit, it is still against my religion, I just don't practice it) After reading your post David, it is easy to
understand why.

I had to post that information about the pigs of the Chihuahua mountains. I am sure things are a bit more sanitary today.

Couldn't let the tread end on a sad note.
Happy*, free-range playa piggies at 9 palms:
(*Happy to share watermelon and dig for crabs at least)
(this was a pig thread, wasn't it ?)

Those are great free range happy pigs and great pig pictures---
But, are they destined to grow old peacefully and die of natural causes??

Naw, but they seemed to have a pretty good life for a pig and somebody enjoyed delicious jamón with mysterious hint of crab flavor.
Thought I'd posted these pics before along with a little story and I just found it (under my initial nomad identity). Sorry for the repeat. http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=10682#pid8221...
