Why Leave? Just come back...
This is from the San Diego's Historical Society's photo collection.
I gather that this sign was in Baja for travelers heading back North to San Diego in 1926. What is so current for me, is, I always (yes, always), want
to come back and head South to Baja. No matter what the day,the job I'm on, time of day or what my family says...oh, how I scheme in my daily life to
go South to Baja for another, "Baja Adventure" with my amigos and the wonderful people of Baja!
No matter what is said on this Board, it seems like everyone connected here has the same channel turned on...and I think it's that very special
channel we have each found- somewhere in a great place...that we all call, "Baja".
I'm going to the Mexico Travel Expo in San Diego on Sunday to support Ted....then goin' further South for a little adventure...
Like the sign says: "Why Leave? You'll come back".
...'cause I always will.

OUCH!!! 26 years later...
Let's try this. For some reason, it would not let me edit my photo mistake...Technology in the hands of amateurs!

Ok, I'll just think no...
...come on....everyone on this Board has had a photo like this. Let's see those old family photos, Army, Marine, Air Force, Spring Break ...you know
the drill! Even you "want-a-be", Baja Nomads, sign up and jump in! The water is always warm on the board, but that's only part of the fun. I have
learned so much from this forum... and I'm an "Old Guys Rule" longboarder whose not that good.
If you like Baja (or even if you are thinkin' about your first adventure South), let us know! If you're here on this site, you're at home! Sign up
and lets go South! All welcomed. There are a lot of folks here that want to help with your adventure...lets go south! We all love Baja. Just sign up
now and lets hear you story...(we really want why you like this crazy place). Just tell us how you met the donkey/burro. Don't be shy.
Editing is only, "Part Of The Show"
Come on, improve your skills. Some of us might bite, but get any of us together around a "Baja Campfire" and we'll just ask you for another beer or
shot of tequila!

OK, who knows where this is...
before the road was built. Gosh, must be before 1965. Any takers??? San Diego Historical Society Photo.
Hint...think "Virgins".

Been on that road, in 1966... of course I wasn't driving at 8 1/2!
San Ignacio to Santa Rosalia... You should have seen the grades going down! One switchback was so tight, my dad had to back up to get around it in the
Wagoneer.
Here's a couple images from my 1979 trip to Gonzaga on the old road south of Puertecitos...
