Smells Like Fish
Back in the day, my son and I fished... A Lot!, Every time we came home, my wife would exclaim, " EWW, You guys smell like fish! Got to be that we
considered it a badge of honor and it became the name on our boat as well.

I entered "Bajada" and three similar names, the computer told me all of these were taken [it lied], so I tried bajalera.

What's in a name?
Gulls (often informally called seagulls) are birds in the family Laridae.
They typically have harsh wailing or squawking calls. Most gulls, particularly the Larus species, are ground nesting carnivores, which will take live
food or scavenge opportunistically. They are kleptoparasites, stealing food from others. Gulls rarely venture far out to sea. Gulls—the larger species
in particular, display mobbing behavior, attacking and harassing would-be predators and other intruders.

nlb333; I too picked the easy boring route. My first, middle and last initial, then 3 of my favorite number, '3'. I have actually come across nlb as
taken before, so now, I alway go with nlb333, so as not to forget my username anywhere.

Ah ha! Now I understand why some have called you "Skeeter Peter." About the "smoking cedar bark" -- is that a Texas thing?

What is "behaviour"? Is that the way anthropology majors talk to each other in Santa Barbara? Try harder next time Karla, your spelling is atrocious
- the word is Kleptoparasites. If you are going to plagiarize , at least get most of the big words right, OK Muffy?
Gee what I wouldn't give to be an expert on so many fronts, such as you want others to think about you. Meanwhile, I can only hope, along with the
President.

Huh, it was grape vines back in Michigan. Mine was chosen for my favorite past time, chasing calicos and cabrilla.

Wessongroup came from an outing with my Dad after getting out of the service.. we had not been down to Johnson Ranch in a long while, it was 1967.
I asked a few of my friends to come on down to the "Baja".. and they did
Well, durning that trip my Dad said he would never go anyplace with me and my friends again.. folks were walking in the fire, my wife's cousin almost
cut his thumb off with a "Bowie Knife" .. was using it to open clams that he was holding between his thighs in his crotch.. my Dad had yelled at me to
stopped him as he would probably kill him self.. I told him to stop about four times, it was 9 in the morning we were digging clams and he was
drinking Tequila .. he was just out of the service too.. well, the knife slipped, and got his thumb.. I poured Tequila into the wound, and use a towel
to apply direct pressure to stop the bleeding.. and went back out to digging clams.. my Dad thought he would bleed to death.. he didn't. .and when we
got back to the camp in the sand dunes and pickle weed.. he was washing the Tequila down with beer...
But, the Wessongroup name came that evening when two Mexican Army soldiers came by, with weapons to "look us up"
Well, my Dad who had been coming down for a long time, took over ... told them to sit down, and have some clam chowder, fresh tortilla's and anything
else they would like to eat and/or drink that we had..
They asked him for identification, and he explained that he Mr. Wesson and his two son's were down surf fishing and digging clams and had brought some
friends too.. later in the evening, around the campfire.. the soldiers had put their rifles in our tent and were drinking Tequila and talking about
the Vietnam war which was going on at that time.. and most folks in Mexico did not agree with the position the United States had taken.. we talked all
night and the guys stayed the night with us... when the left in the morning, they told us the Wessongroup was OK "thumbs up" we were not like the
politicians in the United States making policy, but were just folks out on the beach, surf fishing, clamming, eating good food and drinking (a lot at
that time)
On the way out, we stopped at an old place once we got back to the main road.. had a camera it had a timer on it I put it on top of my 1957 VW and
took a picture of all the guys and my Dad.. always like the memory of how the term "Wessongroup" was given and have keep the picture .... just wish I
had taken a lot more.. was young and not thinking about that at the time... was not thinking about much of anything and did not want too
either....

Wow, very cool... My dad and I also camped near San Antonio del Mar (by the giant sand dune) west of Colonet in the 60's... Had my first raw clam at 8
or 9 years of age there... Fished for corbina... did well!
I last went there in 1980, camped near the same place, drove my ATC south towards Cabo Colonet and found a bottle with a message in it from Nat'l
Geographic!

Going to try and take the wife down to where we used to go... I known it has changed quite a bit, as folks talk about traffic.... used to make a right
turn at an old abobe fence.. seems there was only a "green structure" on the left side of the road, which served for some of the Doctors who would
fly in to provide service for the folks in the area (seems there was a strip there too) .. as there wasn't very much around in those days..
Clamming and fishing was always good as I recall also... great times and a great place for the same..
