1957 Baja Guide from AkBear


Baja Nomad Akbear sent me something pretty special to have a look and pass on to Antonio (BajaCactus). It is a guide to the state of Baja Calif. published on July 27, 1957. Now I want to show you some of the pages, but to shrink down to 50 Kbs you can't read the tiny text... So I edited to just a portion to show you... It has an ad for Hussong's and the CHEVRON gas station (yes there was a time before PEMEX, when American gas companies were in Baja!) Enjoy!

This sound quite interesting DavidK... I must send AKbear a BIG THANK YOU NOTE for his present....

I will make sure to put it somewhere in the lobby of the BajaCactus Motel so everyone passing through can also enjoy having a look at it.

THANK YOU AKBEAR!!!:bounce::bounce::bounce:

I think you will need to laminate it or keep it under a glass display case... the paper is very thin and it is small... I am amazed it has lasted 47 years, as it is. It looks better than I sometimes feel, an I am a couple months younger!!
