Hi Oggie,

Hey...we're practically neighbors. That's one of the reasons I started this post and the 'WHERE DO YOU LIVE?' post. I lived in Carlsbad for 10 yrs., now in Vista. I work p/t at Target on El Camino Real and Vista Way. I know David K and see him occasionally at Target. You never know who you might run into in your own neighborhood.

BTW...nice house in BOLA! Are you in Gecko? I know several folks who have places there.

Hi fixtrauma,

SWEET ride and cute kids. When I retire fully in a few years, I might do the RV thing full time. It's a nice way to see all of Baja and more!

Have you ever read George's 'Tioga and George' blog? He's a full-timer who's traveled in Baja.

BTW...do you have a trauma room in that giant? ...:spingrin: :?:

Michael :?: :spingrin: :D

That picture was a year ago Christmas. Took the three grandkids and their parents along on that trip. Great times. BTW....we stopped and delivered Rice Crispies and marshmallows to Pompano on that trip. He had a serious hankering for Rice Crispie treats! I think we averted a major trauma by delivering those treats!!

Hey Warrior,

I've always loved the location and the round homes in your campo, but I know the shifting beach and tides have always been a problem for so many of you!

I've passed by your area on the beach many, many times on my way from Campo Playa Mexico (at km 40) to the beach on the other side of Bahia Santa Maria and Shell Island.

You were smart to build on top of your garage and further back from the playa. You can rest easier when your not there and you know the tides will be high.

Michael :D :) :tumble:

Hey Michael,

Yes, it's been a challenge living on the beach, but it has been worth it! Nothing compares to beach front. The new shack aint too shabby either...

Be sure to let me know when your in the area again.

We are in the Ocaņa area just south of Casa Diaz

Hi Nomads...HOPE you'll want to share with us!!

Just curious about where we all live while in Baja :?:

Share as little or as much as you want...but only as much as you're comfortable sharing. No need for specifics such as street names and numbers.

I like the San Felipe area for it's easy access from the north and it's great beaches. I personally don't have a Baja place at this time, but am seriously considering it for my retirement in 3-4 years.


Take Care, Michael :yes: :) :saint:
