Banning Pass
Beer Can!! Super to hear from you! Drove past your place twice last week and didn't see your A36.
Yep...Banning pass can be a little interesting. The Boss and I flew through it twice...once each way.... about once a month for 15 years as we went
from Sacramento or San Francisco to Mexicali on our way to Gonzaga Bay. When the wind was howling it was my practice to go way out to the east after
I got around Edwards AFB and sneak into the Palm Springs Valley with that east wind on my tail...avoiding the pass. One nasty trip between San
Gorgonio and San Jacinto at about 10,000 to 12,000 will spook your passengers and make your life a little more colorful.
Not everybody knows that the Pettis VOR and NDB in the pass is named after Jerry Pettis, a congressman from Riverside, who crashed there trying to get
home in a snow storm in about 1974. Some might remember that Frank Sinatra's mother died in a Lear Jet on San Gorgonio in a high wind situation in
about 1983 or 84. Bold pilots get to be old pilots by morphing from hawks to chickens in places like that.

Sorry for the confusion but most of was not mine....several guys thanked "Dave" for the good photos because they thought you took them and I think
that was because of your message which transmitted my "link" Examples are Udowinkler on 12-4 and Trippledigitken on 12-5. Your message also made me
think you were admin because my "link" was redundant with the address I had in the original message.
What is your role here David?

Just to share as much of the 'Baja feeling' as possible!
Technically: I am the 'longest or oldest' Nomad after Doug, have the most posts, and helped to let all the Amigos de Baja I could contact know where
we were welcome when that forum went off the air, without any warning.
The link you gave had some code in it that wouldn't let it be a direct or hyper link... so, I made one, your photos were good enough for the
effort!... Doug later came along and fixed your link in your post.

No problem! If the link isn't all blue, in color, then there is some code in it, or it is too long for Nomad...
I used this icon (located right above where you type your post):
to make it be a direct, clickable link...
Have a great day!

Trivia tidbit......Dean Paul Martin, son of actor/singer Dean Martin, earned his wings with the California Air National Guard in 1981.
Martin died in 1987 when his National Guard F-4 Phantom fighter jet crashed in California's San Bernardino Mountains during a snowstorm......San
Gorgonio Mountain.

Supernatural, no but I am married to a Curandera. BTW we have a Chupacabara and we do rentarlo. In talking with my esposa she, in a drug induced
state, mumbled -Cherwel or Chervel? She has this visions, but she is a good women, I call her "Boogieswampwomen". If you are interested I can post a

Chupacabara
Geeze Bronco...please do that. I can't wait to see one that ain't drunk.
You also need to tell su esposa that she should refrain from reading pilots' licenses that were prepared by specially hired FAA clerks. That is the
source of "Cherwill"...the source for the other one can only be sorcery.

Sauce a ree?
Lo Siento, the overuse of Pulque can cause neurological repercussions. Aside from cerebral abnormalities exhibited by recent studies and
consultations with the AAN, I can only promise you that your privacy was not invaded. Accordingly, in recent studies by RM Upton,MD, PHd, excessive
use of '"Pulque abuse and derivatives of such substance abuse" , have been seen in the Baja peninsula. The conclusion exhibited hallucinations with
delusions of "flight syndromes"!! Possibly my wife has seen this and I apologize and offer you two weeks of our "Chupacaba'! Trust me he is gentle
and will amaze your vecinos in Gonzaga.

Chupacabara
Bronco:
You are in desperate need of better tequila. Su Esposa must be hiding under the bed with the Chupacabara's little ones to stay safe.
....or you have fingers fatter than the keyboard....or both

It is possible the file name of the photo contains something like an ' that won't allow it to post. Change the file name for the photo to something
short and simple... OR, start a free photobucket.com account and hot link your photos from there to here (multiple photos on one post possible).
If all else fails, email me the photo and I will post it here for you! info*AT*vivabaja.com and put BAJA NOMAD in the subject line.

Trust David K.
Bronco et al:
I found it pays to trust David K. to fix your goof ups. Most of us are bozos about how to use this site...and the internet generally. He has saved
my butt at least once.
BTW: I love the Chupacabara Neuf...looks like some of my friends.

Mucho complements, 0 complaints
In lieu of bad Spanish I figured a nice Mexican color scheme was a compromise.
