Why?

... or did I miss something?

Yes, and I have no idea how to move it--
I just enjoyed reading it and the friendly banter
between you and your friends. Thanks for a fun read.

Ok, here it is. I wanna hear more about DK puking though 
Now that I know he's humanThis is about you Debra,now out with the rest of the
story please.
(Debras' Story and she's sticking to it!!!)
I will preface this by telling how I came to the adventure in the first place.
Long story short.........I was "pirated" by DK from another Baja site, new to the internet, I at first ignored him (I had heard the "net" was a
dangerous place ..........one night after returning from the hosiptal tending to my very pregnate daughter and my 2yr. old G-daughter that had been
hit in a roll over T-Bone accident I found an email from Mr. K. inviting me to an online chat, I was feeling pretty low and upset and needed to
'chill' so I went on line, there I found what would become later some of my best friend in my life (you know who you are )
As time when on I was talked into coming down for what would be "M's" first BBBB.......I'm told 82 "Amigo's" showed up for that first event.
Soooooooooo by the time I'd decided to really go it was too late to get a good deal on an airline, so after confering with DK I alone, hopped a train
with the promise that a total stranger would pick me up and give me his spare room "map room" Huh?, I know you are wondering WHAT THE HECK WAS I
THINKING! me too..........
When I finally arrived at Oceanside and got off the bus I saw this man and a little blond girl (8 then I think) waiting across the way, don't know how
I knew, but, I did, it was David and his daughter Sarah, I was welcomed with big hugs from both and felt safe and secure..........Until day 2.
Off we go the next morning in Amo's brand spanking new 14 passenger 4X4 van to pick up others that will join us. Great trip, GREAT PEOPLE, until we
picked up Dahveed (but that is a another story)
We arrive at Ceilito Lindo and meet up with the group, I'm kind of hanging back on my own because I know no one and feeling abit out of place....that
didn't last long as people kept coming up to me "HEY, YOUR TRAVELPEARL, BEEN WAITHING TO MEET YOU!" thanks again David, no keeping a low profile with
you as my host On to the Margarita contest, this came to be my real Oh Crap moment..........thanks to Bedman!
I started out as all in good fun, warning here........NOBODY, NOBODY accept a Margarita from Bedman! I kept passing the ones he put in my face
away........ too bad David was the closest one to me and being the gentalman I learned him to be, or, probably more to the point, he had just dealt
with 11 passengers in the van and needed a distresser? HA!
Then came Desert Bull's chain saw blender.......only way I know how to describe it, that is what it sounded like. AND, the contest begins! What a
blast! but, again, me being out of my element I'm hanging back, watching and laughing my butt off.......don't know what time it was but, we all were
off to our tents, RV, Campers whatever (3AM me thinks) I'm settling down in my tent and I hear gut wrenching pucking near, and if I remember right a
few prayers might have been thrown in there...........so I get out of my tent and find my host..........now I'm really thinking WHAT THE HECK DID I
GET MYSELF INTO!!!!! I'M AT THIS DRUNK'S MERCY FOR 14 MORE DAYS! YIKES!.............but, all was well (how we bond while rubbing someone's back and
holding their hair while they puke, LOL!!!!!!! (sorry DK, you encouraged me and I told you I would tell ALL of the story)
Morning comes and it seems a trip to the beach is in order.......off we go (some moving slower than others TEEHEE) Love you brother, but, you know it
wouldn't be all of the fun if I didn't share............
This huge van is loaded down and our host decided to give it a test (not a good plan as it turned out, but, one of the high-lights for all of
us.......a great story to tell. David decided that this monster van can tackle huge sand dunes, WHOOPS! But to the rescue MMMMMMMMMMMMM! She pulls
that thing out by herself and just a tow rope on her back while all the big strong men fail! Way to go M!!!!!!! What a gal!
David I ask that you supply pictures to the naritive, come on, I know you have them!
If I'm not boring all of you I will come back later with the next 2wks.
(edit for DEB'S spelling)

(since this story is in two threads, I will put my reply here as well... )
Debra... I don't remember the puking as well as you... but, it was after more than one Cielito Lindo margie and a Bedman margie... and that's my
story! As for how to 'move' a post: You can copy and paste your post onto another place from the edit window where it is to where you want it to go...
and go back and delete where it was before.
Okay, here's my reply to Debra's post:
Thank you Debra very much... Happy Mother's Day to you, too!
The van's transfer case popped out of 4WD while I was driving it on the sand dune... and that is why it stuck... The van was awesome otherwise.
It made for a great show and comedy section of El Camote's BBBB-1 video... M pulling on the tow strap as we all tried to figure why the van suddonly
went down. Neal Johns and Bedman both came over to me and said only the back tire was spinning... and once I re-engaged the transfer case, drove right
out of the hole...
Photos of the entire trip Debra described is at http://vivabaja.com/van1
The Amo Pescar Viva Baja Tours 4WD van, fully loaded at Alfonsina's... on the beach at the far north house where we camped. One of the passengers
(Desert Rat) had permission from the home's owner to stay there. We had an awesome campfire with all of us good amigos!
