Oh yeah... me too. He was one of them anyway.
The drum solo was just GREAT! He's still got it. What a workout.

Letz zeee
Tommy Lee Jones and his son overnighted in Mulege two years ago. Was recognized dining in El Candil by the proprietor. "Call me Tom," was all he said.
Baja's a great place for a getaway!

Had coffee with Lance Alworth at Rancho Leonero last summer. He's building a house on the beach there.

Around 1966, Lloyd Bridges (then star of Sea Hunt) and others arrived at Nuevo Mazatlan (Agua de Chale) in dune buggies.

Sam Elliot
Met Sam Elliot in a bar in San Felipe. Don't remember the name of the bar but it's the one where you can ride your bike or quad into the back room
next to the pool tables. Sam rode in on a dirt bike. This was around '95-99.

David K and Baja Angel
We meet them in a Marie Callender's parking lot in N. San Diego County.
I also saw God when I almost had a head on with a Pemex truck when we were headed northbound in 1 south of El Rosario--he was about 2 feet over the
center line and but for may maneuver into the culvert, I would not be writing this.
No se apure y dure.
Don\'t hurry and you\'ll last longer.

And I saw Baja Vida
In the racing days we had James Garner.
and Parnelli
and Mickey
and Rick Mears
I think those were the "good old days"
I also met Bill France, Jr. in El Arco during the 1971 Mexican 1000
He was sitting on a stool, smoking a Winston
(oh yeah, and he died last year from lung cancer)

I totally forgot about the motorsports stars! Heck, they were just good folks like the rest of us Nomads!
Parnelli Jones, Walker Evans, Roger Mears, Mickey Thompson... I met and talked with them all!
Parnelli at the 1973 Baja 1000, in Ensenada the day before the race "warming up the tires" he said:
Mickey Thompson at the 1975 Baja Internacional (500) where he broke at Valle de Trinidad:
Ivan Stewart at the 1975 Baja 300 in Santo Tomas as he just won here:
Here's Parnelli again at the 1975 Baja 1000 in Valle de Trinidad getting fuel:
Here's Mickey Thompson again at the '79 or '80 Parker 400 race next to my pit I was running for Los Campeones Racing Team. Here was by the Turtle
Mountains on the California loop.
FUN TIMES!!!

Motoged,
That looks like a very cool buggy that Mears has there. Can you fill in any details about it.
Thanks,
Ken

Thanks to two folks my husband met in a 12 hour period he was persuaded to agree (with me) to buy a little patch of dirt in baja sur.
First at the Hotel Twin Dolphin in Cabo he got drunk at the pool bar with the Halliburton heir who owned the Hotel Twin Dolphin (so sad the place got
torn down recently). The Halliburton guy talked on and on about how great a place this was and reassured husband the place to buy is a bit up north
where we were looking.
Second, during a wait at the Cabo airport he went up to Sammy Hagar and proceeded to talk to him for 30 minutes about baja and Sammy went on and on
about how great this place is and reiterated how much he liked the area we were looking at. Husband was so jazzed that Sammy spoke to him for so long
and thought that was the coolest thing. So I guess if it weren't for these two folks we might not have taken the plunge and bought.
So thank you Mr. Hagar and Mr. Halliburton.

Welcome cantinflas!
As a kid I was really into Airwolf with Jan Michael Vincent! I know he was a decent surfer too...I think he did a lot of his own surfing when they
filmed Big Wednesday.

Yeah?!?!
Well, one late evening I met Mr Cabra....
He asked me to call him by his first name after a while ...
It felt a bit weird at first as it was an unusual first name ...
I had never heard that name before that night, but I certainly have never forgotten it....
Chupa.....
Chupacabra.....
MISTER to you....
Don't believe everything you think....
