Mood: Have Baja Fever

[*] posted on 10-11-2023 at 12:46 PM


At the Sept. 30, Baja Expo (hosted by Baja Bound Insurance), 'bajaric' aka Jens Tobias sat at the authors' tables and we had a really nice visit with him and the attendees. He arrived after photos were taken, so sadly was not included in those shots: https://vivabaja.com/2023-baja-expo/

It was really good fun talking with Jens as well as the other authors and all who came to our tables that beautiful day*. *Rain was predicted and was even falling in North County, but not on Mission Bay from noon to 5 pm.

Jens' book is filled with great details that so enlighten us explorers or wanna-be explorers. Get your own copy at: https://www.amazon.com/Gold-Northern-Baja-History-Travel/dp/...




Here is Jens (bajaric) on one of his many YouTube episodes. This one combines before and after the flash flood views in Arroyo Miramar: https://youtu.be/svKRsktOGD8?si=q7gkpu62KH7fOXFY

Thanks DK! I should be paying you a commission. Or Co-mission, get it? David took it upon himself to proofread the book and sent me a chart of the typos referenced by page number, then posted several reviews here and on vivabaja.com. That is some pure feel-good Baja energy with a little OCD thrown in for good measure.

I hope the book will have a broader appeal to baja history buffs, off-roaders, campers, etc. beyond the handful of hard-core prospectors that actually make the trek to Baja in search of gold. Ron from talkbaja is reading it, hoping that he puts in some good words over there.

Perhaps it is not in the same league as Into a Desert Place, Baja Fever, The Log from the Sea of Cortez (definitely not) or some of the other classics but I like to think that I have contributed in a small way to the body of Baja literature.
