Getting inspired now. Here's what Palmilla looked like in 1975, 30 years ago. It looks a little different now.

Cardon, having some time on my hands this afternoon I copied your picture and spiffed it up a bit. Hope you don't mind-- it reminded me so much of how
things looked when I was first in Cabo and I felt like playing today. Anyway, here it is. (hope this works- I published it on my own website and
linked to it...) Happy New Year everyone!

Great touch-up!
Tigerdog, excellent work! Really nice job.
Here's a photo of Cabo in 1951 I thought the board would get a kick from. From the Howard Gulick collection

Cabo back when.
Anyone ever eat at the little "Broken Surfboard" Cafe in the mid 80's? It was about 2 blocks from the early inner harbor... It seems the harbor was
expanded again after my last extended stay back then??? Last time through I was amazed at how "Monte Carlo-ized" the harbor seemed...
The Broken Surfboard had the best breakfasts, yummmmm... and a very sweet young woman who was great for biz there.... I'd nearly convinced myself she
only flirted with me...
And whatever happened to the "Pirates Cove" little hideout... they had a small apartment they rented and a hostel type bunk room.... American man,
divorced from his Mexican ex-wife. They had a son and a daughter that I remember was also beautiful... Seems they were about crowded out by the high
rises by about 1990....
I have only done day trips into CSL since the late 80's, while staying at friends' places near Ranchos Los Amigos, and while visiting La Paz.
Many fine memories.
Its all just stuff and some numbers.

The Broken Surfboard survived a long time. Don't know if it's still there, but here's a pic from around 1995- '96. I haven't been back to CSL since
about that time but I have many happy memories of its earlier days (later days for those of you who were there before the early 80s). When I first
arrived horses and cows still wandered up and down what is now Marina Blvd. and I once got a ticket for "wild parking" (stopped in the middle of the
totally empty street to say hi to a friend). There was no Aramburos, no Plaza less Glorias, and for entertainment we watched them dredging the marina.
There was a magic there then. Is there still?

Thanks for the photo and mutual reminiscing, Tigerdog. It is about a 2300 mile drive (and 23 years back in time) from here in freezing N. Idaho....
but I'd sure love to sit at the Broken Surfboard and have some huevos rancheros y cafe and wink at that sweet little waitress again  .

Cabo 1951
Barry A...I contacted the UCSD Library/Mandeville Special Collections Department. They gave permission to post as long as it was for non-commercial
purposes and always have to mentioned that it was from the Howard Gulick collection.
Short Biography of Howard Gulick:
Howard Gulick was born in Visalia, California, on August 25, 1911. In 1920 he moved with his parents to Los Angeles and later, in 1922, to Glendale,
California. Gulick graduated from Glendale High School in 1929 and from the California Institute of Technology in 1934 with a bachelor's degree in
engineering.
From 1935 to 1972 Gulick worked for the Public Service Department of the City of Glendale as a civil engineer in the water and electrical utility
department. During World War II (September 1942-January 1946), he served in the Air Force and was stationed at Yuma, Arizona. Apart from his duties as
post engineer and purchasing officer, Gulick spent his free time practicing Spanish, exploring the border and developed an interest in the desert.
In 1950, he made his first long trip into Baja California, traveling as far south as Loreto in a new Jeep station wagon. Gulick continued to spend his
vacations traveling the peninsula (except 1958) until 1961. In 1964, he recalled, "besides merely covering roads, I studied and looked for old trails,
missions, ranches, etc. Along with all this, detailed notes of road mileages enabled me to plot the roads on a base map. During this period most long
weekends were spent down there [often in the company of Faustino Perez of Ensenada], and frequently two-day weekends also."
Peter Gerhard, a historian, proposed that they collaborate on a guidebook to Baja California which would incorporate Gulick's notes for the road log
portion. In 1956, the first printing of the LOWER CALIFORNIA GUIDEBOOK appeared at a time when popular interest in the peninsula was increasing.
Gulick conceived of this guidebook "as a volume which would not only help the traveler find his way to hitherto unmapped roads, but would describe,
from personal observation, the area and points of interest." Popular among peninsular travelers, the LOWER CALIFORNIA GUIDEBOOK was reissued in three
updated editions before a fifth revised edition, entitled the BAJA CALIFORNIA GUIDEBOOK (1975) was published. Walt Wheelock replaced Peter Gerhard as
co-author.

DJH...Oh yeah what breakfast memories the Broken Surfboard bring back with the bomberos station just down the road. The Corona factory on the main
road with cases of Corona for $3.00 and the deposit on the bottles was $5.00.
Don\'t get mad...

Yup.... I thought it a wonderful twist that the Corona Beer cost less than the Corona Bottles!!
I remember that often when I think about so many Corona bottles (and the millions of others) being thrown away here in Idaho and Washington, where
recycling is neither common nor encouraged by industry or government.
We'll have to tip one together and toast to the BS (Broken Surfboard).

djh..
Here in the PNW recycling is mandatory and has been for years. Now in Seattle if you have over 10% cans and bottles in the TRASH can they won't pick
up and they will cite you....Oregon has had a nickle on every bottle and can for awhile now.

I am glad to hear Seattle is on it...
Seattle is ahead of E. Wa., and smaller communities and rural areas. Here in N. Idaho there is no glass recycling, unfortunately.
Geeze.... maybe I could collect Corona bottles and take them to Baja and return them for deposit ? ?
I bet either the old warm beer smell, or the state patrol (open container), the border guards, a MHP (mental health professional) or MY WIFE would
have some issue with that idea....
Let's just tip a cold (full) one instead - and then recycle it in Loreto, eh?!
djh.
