this). |
1) Perhaps you have me confused with another? Seriously, I think the forums are like watching TV, you can choose to not read my posts if you don't
want to... a far greater number here seem to want me to do what I have done... democracy rules, right?
2) I would like you to prove or retract this... I sure do not have any desire to argue with anyone over Baja info. Unless they are knowingly posting
false information. Information is not an idea like politics, it is fact or fiction.
3) I do not 'promote' myself, as I am not in a Baja business... If anything, I promote 'Baja' (for free)! My web site is full of information, photos
and links to many great Baja sites... and that is why I have it in a signature at the bottom of my posts... It is to help people find adventure and
information... I don't sell anything... I am even giving away stickers as my gift to you. Have you visited VivaBaja.com? The collection of mission
photos from Jack Swords and others is one of the really great things to find there. The El Camino Real report, GPS list, maps, satellite images, and
more are generally well received by viewers.
4) I 'often' do this, you say? How often..., like almost never? Yes, I have made a political comment on rare occaisions, when it was funny or to
counter a wacko leftist statement! (I guess this counts as one). I am human afterall.
Frankly, I restrain myself a lot more now than in years past... Which means others are posting political comments a lot more! I knew the results of
the election would validate my political thoughts, so I have nothing to add... Do you want to see how much of America voted the same as I did? (oops,
is that #2?.. I was provoked, lol)
Hey, have a beer or if you rather, a latte and chill.

My 2 cents...
Wow, I just finished scrolling through page 4 of the "DK files" so what the hay, I'll add my 2 cents!!
I met David for the first time almost 5 years ago when I was helping out at Discover Baja for a few months before my "Baja baby", Sara, was born and
in support of David, the word enthusiasm and genuine Baja fever come to mind when I think of him. As for the critics, this passion may rub others the
wrong way but I have only seen the positives of his love for exploring the Baja peninsula. I was kindly invited to events that he helped organize and
he graciously asked for my help in contacting a Mulege friend who participated in Earle Stanley Gardner's various Baja adventures so he could do
research on one of the mission sites that he was exploring. David was also a very willing advice giver when I had questions about visiting Bahia de
L.A. last year.
So, David, I think after all these pages, you should feel that there are many amigos who appreciate your love of Baja California and your generous
spirit. :):):)

This thread by Gypsy Jan has had so many peaks why even bother to venture into those shadowed valleys that occasionally mar the landscape.
Put your hand on the bill of your cap, lean forward, and find more wonders of Baja to share with your friends.

Geez David...I didn't want to reply at risk of repeating any of these compliments (which must make your onging work to share Baja very
fulfilling!)...but just had to add that had it not been for that fab. breakfast on the day before we crossed the border we would have missed so much.
It was our first drive into Mexico and you boosted our confidence and shared so much!

Thank you Marie-Rose... It was fun meeting you folks... It is hard to imagine that you have to drive 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) BEFORE your Baja
trip can begin! Everyone from Canada I have met going to to Baja or in Baja have been really great people. The breakfast at Sunrise Cafe was a great
day, and my pleasure to help you find some interesting spots for your trip... which you have shared via your photos... http://www.diarybase.com/members/hagensinbaja
Thanks again, eh?

I am sigining off on this topic
that I originated,
but, when I started it, I had a feeling about what the response would be.
It is interesting that the mean-spirited posters haven't had much to say.
It is easy to disparage someone off the cuff; it takes logic and brain power (and a certain amount of ability to write well) to back up a put down.
As our amigo says, "Viva Baja".
I wish you all smiles and good adventures.
