The Gypsys are coming to town
After a longer than anticipated break from Baja, I'm very pleased to say that the Baja Gypsys are going to be down to their place in May!
So if you see a blue ford truck, with pasty white Canadians, and a Saskatchewan licence plate, wave a hello or stop to say hi!

We are so excited! We will be taking a new route as we need to do a pit stop (kinda out of the way) in Vancouver so will be traveling down the Oregon
and California coast. We have always wanted to do that so we ate excited for that as well.
Mr gypsy has some work to do on our place and wants to do some diving and hopefully certify the littlest gypsy. The littlest gypsy is looking forward
to being in the ocean and eating bacon wrapped hot dogs.
I'm hoping to get some much need relaxation and to sooth my soul with the ocean and landscaping our yard.

Wow, we are already looking forward to your trip reports. You will really enjoy driving down the USA West coast. Try to take as much of Highway 1 as
you can. It is especially beautiful around the Big Sur area, and down South from there. Don't rush it, this is a beautiful and absolutely amazing
area of the USA!

must be a Saskatchewan thing since my wife and all here relatives from Edmonton definitely are not pasty white (not dark skinned immigrants or members
of the first nation either)

Have a great trip! Second what Bob H said about CA Highway 1. Robert Louis Stevenson described the drive between Monterey and Morro Bay as "the
most beautiful meeting of land and sea in the world".

Ooo, ooo, ooo!
Bring WAMPUM.
Made in Canada, Red Oval Farms, stone cracked wheat crackers. Muchos Cajas!
In exchange for
Home baked sourdough, basque, and other bread
Canada has the FINEST bread baking wheat on the face of the earth. And I'll give you just ONE guess which province leads the pack.
Hint-Hint-Hint-Hint
You will be justly pesocompemsated...
And for anyone else coming down I need 4 bread loaf pans, and a roll or two of parchment paper, sesame seeds, dill seed, GOOD levadura (yeast). An
old, but powerful electric, hand mixer/beater, and some REALLY BIG bowls, the kind that can hold two gallons. Also need a 24" square tin flat baking
sheet. If I'm going to "do" bread here, I don't want to do it one piddly loaf per... Same for croissants, bagels and biscuits. Some spray cans of
cheap vegetable oil would be appreciated.
Just wait until my garden comes in with cantaloupe, several kinds of lettuces, NINE DIFFERENT Italian salad greens, leeks, chives, green onions, 3
different types of potatoes, arugula, spinach, french beans, tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, three types of ultra sweet corn on the
cob, etc. Helpers will be rewarded. Poachers Will Be Shot, Rabbits Will Be Stewed.
Greetings From Bahia Asuncion!

My grandfather was the Head Gardener at the Experimental Farm in Indian Head, Saskatchewan from about 1930-1965...and I can testify to the quality and
durability of the Saskatchewan wheat crop!!!
He was most proud of his huge tomatoes, though....and I won't even mention the hemp hedge they used to have growing around the farm as a wind
break....

BajaBlanca,
Except for the corn, and potatoes, I am going to try and have chronologically ripening yield. Lettuce at 2 week intervals, broccoli, every third week,
radishes, every 3rd week, etc. I don't think it gets warm enough here for the lettuce to bolt easily.
But it takes a KenMex worth of compost and manure to enrich this soil. The Brussels sprouts even require clay (barro) be added -( I am getting a bag
0f 10-10-10 to help. Then there's the rock base rabbit fence. Aiieee!
Yes I do muffins, and could use a pan. MIL GRACIAS!
Why do I have a feeling this property is not going to be unpopular in a few months :-) ??

Holy Regina! Genuine Hard Red Winter Saskatchewan wheat flour.
I've never tried genuine Saskatchewan, whole wheat or rye flour. Is it as superior?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I'm really pushing-it here but empty handed complainers shall be forever banned from the kitchen and garden.
If I could get my hands on a wood fired clay (huge mound shaped) horno de pan a bread baking oven, I'd buy a peanut roasting cage, and then get some
green Txacali shade grown mountain coffee from Chiapas and show you some real skill! By the second cracking, most of the coffee drinking gringos in
this village would be enticed by their nose to "Pied Piper" their way to the oven. Mesquite wood fire roasted coffee is padrísimo!

Hola and welcome home to the southbound Gypsy Family!
I can imagine how anxious you are to get back down to Asuncion..Bravo!.. and I hope your next weeks are filled with all kinds of Baja happys.
As you roll down the Pacific Coast, keep your eyes open for my northbound rig..as I will be headed up that way in the opposite direction. From Mulege
to San Diego to northern California coast to the Olympic Peninsula to Lac la Ronge, Saskatchewan.
We can wave at each other. Buena suerte and have a fun-filled trip, amigos.
Pompano will be gas-guzzling by on the left....in this:
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.
