No he isn't. He's hiking in open territory.
Guest in a foreign country??? Absolute nonsense. He has every right available to be here. He paid for this and Mexico should be proud of his
unselfish acomplishments in this country.
When you're done bending over, stand up tall. It feels good. |
Like I said, hiking in land that isn't his. These ranchers were here long before we "discovered" baja or Punta Banda or what have you. That's why we
as Americans are hated everywhere now because we come in and try to change poop to our liking or way of life. Let the damn bulls be.

In 1519, the first Spaniards arrived and quickly absorbed the native peoples into Spain's vast colonial empire. For three centuries, Mexico was a
colony...including Baja. It was not the evil American Empire........ |
Thanks for the history lesson, Mcfez. I am sure that my great, great, great ancestors lived under Spanish rule in Mexico. The point I am trying to
make is that we as Americans go to foreign lands, build our big beautiful homes with huge walls to keep the locals out, then we try to change things
that we don't agree with.....like bulls grazing on someones land because it affects my morning hike. Give the bulls a break!!

We do create and demand change! I agree!
The Japanese do the same here.
Folks from India...my Gods....they even buy up Mom and Pops stores / 7/11 / Subways / and lots more...take our jobs....wear them funny clothes and
all...not the American fashion that I know of...they are changing our range lands!
And what about them darn Irish guys back in the 1800's...coming over here simply because their potatoes...... took a dump......and they changed the
American way!
Dont blame the Americans for world disorder, solely.

Ok, now I'm sitting on a milk crate so that we can see eye to eye Dennis. You don't have to sink to name calling. I am just expressing my humble
opinion. Get a life, dude.
Mcfez: I am not blaming Americans for the world's problems. My only concerns at this time are the U.S.A. and our way of life, and the fact that
Chinese own me, my kids, and probably my grandkids if we ever get that far. Now as far as Baja is concerned, I do not like to see foreigners come in
and demand change. They can do it on their own, poco a poco. After all, isn't that rustic old west feel part of the magic of Baja? I lived in Baja for
6 years but I returned stateside when I became the target of a kidnapping attempt. Most foreigners living in Baja are good people and treat the locals
well. On the flipside I have seen some foreigners treat their Baja maids, gardners, and handymen badly. Many Cachanillas resent us because a few come
in to town in our expensive cars, fat wallets, and build expensive homes behind huge walls. The locals don't see the walls as a deterrent to crime,
many feel we isolate ourselves from the locals. 'nuff said...peace.

The locals, no matter where, usually preferr to associate with relatives and other long term residents. They don't want to hear how things are done
back in..........., but welcome the $$$$$ that tourists and newcomers bring.

Got it.
The campos we have a home in....
We bought in because it was "Baja".
Now a group of chitheads in there developed a "Homeowners Association" ...barking out rules....
Got it...I understand what your side of the point is...agree

In their dreams :-)
They havent got there "yet".
Now they want porch lights on every house to help prevent break in's.........chain link fence around the entire complex...they have installed a guard
at the entrance...I am waiting for the next hurricane to sweep this group off the sea.
Trying to talk to my big boss (wife) to build another house down by GB somewhere...no rules. No light.
Glad we're on good terms (you and I)

I repell from the idea of an HOA, but security isn't a bad idea and if an entire community is employing safety measures, it will make the entire
community less vulnerable. Thieves will go elsewhere.

So back to dealing with Big Critters;
Although I have lived in the ranch communities of Baja and Sonora for many years I expect that at heart I am more of a city girl than a rancher kid.
I am in awe of those that can handle big critters, (this includes Turkeys), with no more than a wave of their arms, a few hoots and ande-les. I have
done the shooo cow thing a few times, and it has worked, they have moved on, but my heart is always doing a little pitty pat and I am never very
comfortable with the show I am putting on. I know the critters know that I am intimidated, I wish I could get past my inner fears, I am sure I stink
of it to them. Oh well, at least goats and chickens can't stare me down.

If a Bull keeps giving you a bad time do the following:
Find a great big c-ckleburr, place it gently under his Tail, then drop the tail and let Go.
You will not see the Bull for awhile!
An old Texas way!!

try food... they are males, after all, the ladies should be pretty cool ... (have your husband) toss them some carrots.. bet they follow you
everywhere... they are looking for something to eat...
who's are they,... talk to the owner.. might work wonders, sure they wouldn't mind you feed their cattle ... plus, they might even have names...

Reminds me of that gang movie years ago with Robert Duvall and Sean Penn. Robert Duvall's character is telling Sean Penns character a story about a
couple bulls on a hill overlooking a herd of cows.
Bull #1: Hey dad, why don't we run over there and f*** one of them cows?
Bull #2: Son, why don't we walk over there and f*** them all?

Eli, one step at a time! Just whisper to the turkeys that Thanksgiving is coming up in a couple of months. Maybe show them a picture.   Next, maybe
challenge the bull that is charging on The BajaNomad. If you can do that, you will then have the confidence to walk in any field without danger.

Bulls
Just wondering - During the "Bike the Bay" ride over the Coronado bridge a couple of months ago I talked to some great ladies who had Punta bunda
shirts on and as we rode I asked them if they knew the book "God and Mr. Gomez" They all laughed and one said yep. Wonder if any of you Nomads know
these gals as they were awesome. I'd love to communicate with them and visit if appropriate. I know I'm morphing out of the topic, but because it
mentioned Punta Bunda I'm posting.
Thx
