Alfredo Ramierz- From Sacramento Calif. Met Gail at the Airport in Mexicali on one of my trips South, she was a "Skinny little Blond" escorting some
of the first of Alfredo's Fisherman to Loreto.
The old fellow with the Beard arrive in Loreto a met a women who was a Hollywood Writer. Virginia and I attended their wedding at the Original
Cesar"s.
He ended up getting Run out of Town in a Volkswagon after striking and injuring a young Girl and refusing to pay for the Medicals!!
He was a regular at xmas time setting on a Donkey in front of the "El Nido".
Short story about Marie, who was the Town Gossip before the Canadian named Jacque's Wife arrived.
Anyway when I met my present wife and told my friends I was getting Married to a much Younger women, Mariestarted talking!
I fiqured I sould see how fast the word could get around Loreto so on the first day I arrived back , I saw Marie next door and walked over holding my
self between the Legs and complaining of Pain, Of course Marie ask me what was wrong? I told her I had been to Houston Texas for a Penis Implant!
It took about two hours before I got a visit from a friend that had Just Heard that I had an Impant because I was going to marry a young Women!
Last time I saw Marie was on the Airplane headed to Loreto with Jaime's Ashes to be spread on the Sea of Cortez.
Please let me know if the stories get boring!

We are blessed that Doug has maintained Baja Nomad online for over 18 years now!
I wish there was an easy way to restore the many photos that were lost when there were upgrades made... at least in the Trip Reports forum.

Last night I was going through the old posts, looks there was a database crash at some point and older stuff lost?

Yes indeed!
We came from Amigos de Baja (was at www.bajanet.com) run by Earle and Eric Robitaille, and Trish Ramsey. The site crashed in 2003, about a year after Doug created the new Baja Nomad
forums. They elected to let the site stay dead and give them a break so they could spend more time fishing! As I was doing the Viva Baja parties
(2000-2003), I had many emails of the Amigos. After confirming with Doug he could handle the 'mob' I alerted my guest list that we could have a new
home on Doug's forum. There also was another forum some went to, called Baja.net. That one was like a frat house... It didn't last.
Here are photos of the Amigos de Baja team at my Viva Baja #1 in October 2000:

Earle is a Baja Nomad, 'Fang' and his last post on Nomad was this past July:
| Quote: Originally posted by Fang | Many thanks to Phil C, MJS, Santiago & Bajaboy for their kind remarks regarding our old Amigos Bd. It was a labor of love for Eric, Trish and me
as fishing Baja was our major love in life.
My dad had introduced my brother Jim and I to fishing all over the northern portions of Baja in the late 1930's just before WW2.
After his return home from the war in 1946, all our summer vacations were taken Ensenada or San Felipe.
I started both my pre-teen sons doing the same at Ed Tabor's old Flying Fisherman's spot in Loreto and they still retain their love of the area &
it's people.
A great deal of credit is owed to Doug for keeping this Nomad site up & running over these many years. I can tell you from experience that it can
be frustrating at times.
The problem we had was that our goal was accurate & timely information on fishing & travel conditions that were near impossible to get any
other way at that time (pre- internet). But after 10-12 years we found a upsetting transition taking place on the Amigos Bd.---the site was moving
towards becoming a soapbox for a growing group of malcontents and nut cases who saw it as a means to spread their venom about people, events &
places around the peninsula and use it as a political forum for their wacked-out theories.
When we realized that we were spending too much time babysitting & redacting trash, it was time to move on to better things.
We enjoyed the experience as a whole & would not have missed the opportunity to meet & get to know so many of our readers over the years. It
was just the frustrations that the wackos had interjected into the process that caused the endeavor to lose it's appeal.
Don't let the wackos and trolls win ! Ignore them & they will slither away. Keep Nomads main focus just as it is & let Doug know how much we
all appreciate his efforts. |
I last saw and talked with Eric in Loreto in Feb. 2017 at the bookstore when I gave a presentation of my book and then again on the road to San Javier
when he stopped where Mike Younghusband and I were stopped.

The upstairs bar at the mission hotel brings back memories. And the Oasis hotel near by I was only about 14 back in 72 and was the designated driver.
I slept n the back seat of the car until everyone was ready to go home. Then woke up to drive home.
I begged rides with Billl Riffe in his plane to the Flying Sportsman and spent summers in Loreto when NO americans lived there. Great memories!

Many memories of the Mission Hotel and the bar going back 40+ years. Best not to recount them here.
