Three hundred years ago the Ute Indians would take big chunks of salt from the shores of what is now Great Salt Lake, haul em up to the forest to
entice the dear. Hence the name of the state capital, Salt Lick City. Not many people alive today know that.

When my truck is dirty
I can describe what is like to be in Baja,the close it's I can get is felling in control of my destination even do some times you start driving with
no plan in mind, just follow the road to see what you will find at the end.If you like what you find you tell your friends about it.If you don't like
it, you still tell your friends and explain to them that it was and adventure to get there and some time thats where the fun is..
BAJA IS WHAT YOU WANTED TO BE, FUN,DANGEROUS,INCREDIBLE, REMOTE, EXOTIC..JUST GO AND HAVE FUN.....

I go paddleboarding every day out of the local harbor and it feels natural to say "hi" or wave to other paddlers, kayakers, sailors and even big boats
who enthusiastically reciprocate the gesture. I don't experience this in any other aspect of suburbia-life.
I'm sure everyone has caught themselves starting to wave at a stranger when they first return home from Mexico, and at least out on the water I can
keep a little of the feelling of Baja alive until I return again.

Guess where I just was....
We don't have to see anything, hear or smell anything to take us back to baja at any given point in time. We can be doing our daily tasks, ie washing
dishes at the restaurant for example, or just driving down the road, to be all of a sudden far away, back in Baja, at home.
"Guess where I just was?" is a question we ask each other on a constant almost daily basis. I was just at the turn off to Caliveras from Santo Tomas
yesterday. Today I was in San Ignacio at the cool waters under the palms. With us, our brains jump to places that live in our hearts at any given
moment without anything sparking it. Does that make sense? It's in our blood.
On the other days when we're not mentally in Baja we have the "Wall of Shame" at the restaurant that we stare at when we're feeling homesick. It has
come in handy more times than not. We are finding that Baja is a small world, a one way street. When customers come in, look at the wall and exclaim,
'Hey, I know that person!" or "I've been there before!" I realize at that point that our wall is serving it's purpose. The wall is growing and we're
running out of room.
Guess where I just was? Sitting on the beach of Bahia, my chair under the water so that my chin is just grazing the surface, sunglasses on, wide
brimmed hat, cold cerveza in hand, held above water level of course or else it would warm too quickly to the temp. of the Sea of Cortez......
The count down is on!

Thanks Doug for helping me to post the photo!

Traveling south of San Francisco, my wife and I thought that the beachs of Sand City and Pacifica reminded us of Baja on the Pacific.
Our best fish and shrimp tacos and burritos outside of Baja have been bought at Dorados in Monterrey Park.

Anytime the temp. here in Sedona, AZ, drops below 70 degrees, especially that first morning when you can feel the nip of fall in the air. Other than
that almost every day.

The Smell of Smoke
The smell of a mesquite fire brings me to the deserts of Baja....
The smell of a driftwood fire on the beach, brings me to a baja beach.....

Every time we open our garage and see all the items that only get used when we are in Baja.

Each time we see an innovative way to make something out of something many of us would discard or not even begin to have thought of the alternate use.

HM - I' reminded everytime I feel for a CORONA, everytime I see a lemon, everytime I open my PC/LT and see the Baja Nomad Webpage, everytime I see the
Hummingbird Close Up's I took on my last trip on my Desktop ( which I consider to put on Baja Nomad as soon as I've figured how to do), and
everytime my broken heart is hurting!
