Greg,

Welcome aboard. We have a lot in common, I too have a Diesel Pickup (Ford), a 4x4 Xterra, and my motorcycle is a FJR1300. I travel in Baja in all of them. Were the same age also. Hope to see you in your travels. This is a great site with some great folks!

I wsa able to log on for a few days in a row, the gods are smiling, I don't drive a Toyota, because my toys are too big, last time I weighed my boat and trailer it was 9000#, it's a matter of the tail wagging the dog, the truck has to be big enough to resist the boat shaking it back and forth. I've been a Dodge guy for many years, my first trip to the tip in 73 was in a 69 dodge PU. We went to Cabo that trip, (boy I wish I had bought some land) there was nothing there. We camped on the beach in front of Zippers under a palapa, wish I could still do that. I coined the phrase Cabo San Ludricous on my last trip into Cabo, we stayed at the East Cape and on the day of our flight back decided to go into Cabo for a little shopping, drove around for 45 min before I found a parking place. In the early 60's I had a good friend whose family had a house at Campo Lopez (let's see who knows where that one was) we spent many days there playing in the surf, and learning to slow down the Baja way. I currently have a friend named Gregorio, that is building a house at Punta Pequina, anyone know him? I lived in San Diego for 12 years so a morning surf and carnitas at Las Flores De Michocian in Rosorito was an easy run. Now I don't get down as often as I would like, but looming retirement has me itching for more Baja maybe 3 or 4 more years of the rat race. Sure glad I found this site, I'm also a member Of Vagabundos del Mar for many years. I have pictures on film and slides but I'm also somewhat computer illiterate, so I need to learn how to post. My last trip to Mexico was to Punta Mita, neet spot, but a new road, (like Cabo) will spell the doom. I hope to meet some of you all in person. Later gregg

Welcome to Nomad land Gregg. You will love the folks here. I will turn 58 in October. Looking forward to hearing/seeing some of your adventures in Baja over the last 44 years.

Welcome Gregg. You must be o.k. guy. Dodge owner. I've owned Dodge diesel pickups for a lot of years. Dodge "rules" when you know how to use the "tools"!!!!! Ford brags, but I don't see them with a 6 cy diesel that does what they have to do with 8 cy.????:D:D:D:D
Ludicrous to some. Crazy place to others. Add a little "paradise", then visit "Cabo San Lucas". Makes you appreciate "paradise". So you need both to know what the difference is. Loreto for 16 winter's, and Cabo San Lucas for a break in November for Thanksgiving for two weeks. Then back to Loreto/Nopolo to appreciate what it's all about. Heck, some folks that live in crazy L.A., find fun in Disneyland????????? Others will go all the way to Orlando to experience Epcot Center & DisneyWorld??????? I figure living in L.A. isn't much different than Cabo San Lucas???????
Welcome to one heck of a website. Full of great people with great ideas, and some who march to a different drum beat. But all put their pants on the same way, and came from the same creator. So you'll have lots of fun, putting visions of some of the posters until your able to meet them. Some will fit the picture. Some will surprise the heck out of you. But they are all a great contribution to the Baja Nomad family.

Close is good enough but, I still say K -54. Almost rented a space there in the early sixties. Glad I didn't since a bunch of it slid down the hill in the late eighties.

54 ---- 55, It's all the same I suppose since you couldn't see the road from inside the camp.
