I just did a Bing search for 'Mike Overcast Baja'. Wow, not exactly a fan club there!
David, kudos to you for not stooping to throwing a lot negative info about him into this thread!

If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

There is no need, he has done all that to himself... I tried to help him years ago when a Nomad couple didn't get their membership kit when they
joined his "travel club" so I contacted Mike to help resolve the issue (it was like only $25). After several attempts to get them what they paid for
failed, they wanted a refund (naturally). Overcast refused even after I advised him how bad the P.R. feedback would be and not worth $25. He then
began a war on Discover Baja Travel Club and that was just sad... Hugh and Carol Kramer were a great couple and it was just so sad to see the hate by
this fellow. He then attacked Doug (Baja Nomad) with legal threats that turned out to be from a fake attorney (as I recall). He also said he would
like to rip my head off as he walked past me at a Tijuana event I was at, with Doug. The Off-Road Race community has really gotten a bad feeling for
him after he made up that he was in charge of a race called Cabo 500 or something. I feel sorry for him and it just didn't need to be that way. He was
at my Viva Baja #3 party, with his son in 2002, a photo of them is in that event page.

David could you comment on this.....any truth or simply BS?
Harry W. Crosby, over many years, has identified David Kiers writings and viewpoints as "less than a child level intelligence travel writer". "David
Kier and his misguided book about 'old missions' isn't worth my time".
Over the many years of interviews, Crosby went further during lunch conversations with friends under a friendly tree at a local La Jolla coffee shop.
"David Kier glosses over the destruction of Baja California", "indigenous slavery and the deaths of human beings associated with the Spanish
pacification of Mexico. By doing so, he promotes the continued destruction of the people of Baja".
Harry said recently, "the travel promotion of David Kier and anyone supporting him, are guilty of the continued genocide of the people of Mexico".

While Mr. Crosby has been known to be a regular at Pannikiin on Girard in La Jolla (and swimming in the LJHS pool nearby regularly), the comments seem
completely inconsistent with the Harry Crosby I know, including that the statements contradict themselves.
I believe you're hurting Mr. Crosby in posting such statements.

I've now seen the source of those comments.
There are other comments in the same post attributing quotes I've made about David. I've never said those things, nor have I ever had a conversation
with that author regarding David Kier. The only conversation I've ever had with that person was when he called me on the phone many years ago, and
identified himself as a fictitious attorney.
