Thanks to all those Beautiful Smiles!!
It makes this "Ole boys Heart' pound a little to see the happiness on the Faces of True Lovers of Baja!!
Bernie and David K. , how come you guys do not appear to get Older? Must be the Light in your Eye and the Song in your Hearts.
Going through the "Change of Life" at 73, is sometimes difficult, not being able to Visit Our Beloved People and Baja, as much as I would like causes
me to get "Cranky" on Ocassion!
Please keep up the Song in your heart and the Gleam in your Eye for that next Adventure, Lost Mission, or Book.
God has truly Blessed you!
Skeet

Yep David
Ya flipped me off and called me a jerk. I assumed that was a message from all the whiney little chicken coop group bags of wind pretending to know
Baja.
That would definitely include the Margster.
We definitely had a blast, in spite of our differences. No big deal disagreeing on things when there is a feast like that going on.
David and I can disagree on many things, pee each other off because of our different beliefs, and continue to at least listen to what each other is
saying. Then sit down and have dinner together.
I expect and hope for this to continue. That way, I know what he is up to.

It's our love of Baja that overcomes the other stuff. I think Antonio (BajaCactus) could see that in our posts and that is why he reached out to us to
come together for this initial meeting.
I regret Margie did not read my first post in this thread and will understand that. It's like if Margie threw a party for people she wanted to know,
but couldn't feed or have room for them all. Should everyone else be mad and call her party a clique meeting?
Doug was there because he created this vehicle for us all to utilize for Baja exchanges; Bernie writes books about the people and places in Baja;
Jesse is a fellow Mexican who has been on both sides of the line; JR has passion for the mountain people and is an activist bringing them aid and
supplies and invited us to meet at his place; I am the 'Baja connection' for many, and frequent traveler for almost 40 years there. Antonio and I have
been emailing and u2u'ing a lot, as well.
Antonio provided the great food and prepared it, too... very much appreciated by us!!!
This small family picnic was a start, a first meeting for bigger gatherings that will be coming... I hope nobody else feels the way Margie does and
understands that Antonio is reaching out to improve his relationship with us and his other clients and this was a first step.

Don't know what's up but I can see all of JR's pictures but none of David's - just little red X as a place holder - no pics. Will try later and see
if they come thru but any ideas anyone?
My Fuji camera downloads to the computer as fast as the cardreader does. And occasionally I want to transfer a file from one computer to another, I
copy it to the camera memory card and then back out to the other one. Handy if you don't have a memory Thumb stick handy.
Why can't I see David's Pictures?????

Your pictures have disappeared again and I am glad--'cause in the first picture captioned, blank, blank, and Bernie I am the only one who is not
there. David, I think I would return that new camera of your because it is faulty---IT MAKES ME LOOK OLDER THAN THE HILLS!! I don't need that in my
middle years.
Skeet you are so kind.

I'll back you up, Bernie. It's a bad camera! I'm not going to let him take a picture of me, no way.
 
Bajalou, right click on the little x and select Show Picture. Then pat your stomach and rub you head, ain't Microsoft grand?

It gets better Sr. Vikingo
but, I recommend hurryin every chance you get if you want to see why it used to be so incredible here. The true Baja spots are becoming fewer faster.
It is soon to be developed!
This here stretch would like to be considered private by the gringos that live there.
Fortunately, Mexican law doesn't quite see it that way.

Baja Nomads are the greatest....!!!!
Hi everyone....
I just came from El Rosario, and before anything else, I wanted to post this message.
First of all, I want to deeply thank DavidK, BajaNomad, Baja Bernie, Jesse and JRBaja, for giving up their sunday in order to spend a few time with
us.
Special thanks to JRBaja for lending his beutiful home for this gathering and for Carol, his companion, who is a wonderful and cheerful person...
thanks JR.
We had the best of times this sunday, and I would like everyone to know that all who attended really impresed me... all of them are very nice, great
and unique individuals, I am so glad we have met and truthfuly hope this is the beggining of a long lasting friendship.
We have previously discussed, via e-mail and u2u, the neccessity to have a BajaNomad gathering, so we can strengthen and boost our respect for each
other, as well as our love to Baja, therefore I invited the few bajanomads I had been in contact with, in the short time I have been in this forum, to
organize this, because, personally, I would love to meet all Baja lovers.
We talked about it, and hopefuly, very soon, we will be able to acomplished this... what we have talked about is a "Bajo California" movie party and
also a Baja Nomad gathering in Baja.
I want to thank Doug (BajaNomad) for making this possible thorugh this board and also DavidK for being always so possitive and an easygoing guy (he is
the same in person). I would also like to thank Bernie, who through his books transmits to all of us the joy and pleasure of stepping in Baja land (If
you do not have his book you should be buying one from him already....).
JR, keep up all that beutiful job you are doing in south Baja, it is really impressive and I know it takes a huge spirit to make it happen... count
with BajaCactus in all your efforts to help out.
I enjoyed so much the company of everyone in our meeting, that I deeply hope we get to make this ALL NOMADS BAJA GATHERING.... just imagine... it
would be awesome.
You now, this is what we all love about Baja... the opportunity to have a relaxing time, alongside with some fine friends and great food.
I hope to meet you all very soon.. and I promise I will bring my broher in law (the chef).....
Antonio M.

BEFORE IT'S GONE
JR, we'll only be going stateside 2 or 3 times a year for a couple weeks...lost too many beautiful spots up here during the course of my life....we
plan on seeing as many of the hidden spots that our time will allow......
Baja Cactus, count Deborah and I in on any future Baha Nomad gatherings...would be great to put faces together with all these words we shoot back
and forth....
adios mi amigos el vikingo

And now, it's a little early, but I'll throw this out--
On Dec 31 2004 - a Friday - New Years Eve. at 12 noon - we have a little party here at Teina and my place in San Felipe. We'll smoke 4 or 5 20 lb.
turkeys, fix some dressing, gravy, candied yams and a little more and the wonderful friends and friends to be bring a little to share and we all have
a great time. Later you can go rest so that night you can party harty.
A few of the people thaqt post on the board have been to these (this is the 9th one) and will attest to a great time with great people. Lar year
about 130.
Soooo - all you Baja Nomads out there, if you're anywhere in the area, come on by and join the party. We'd love to have you.

Thanks for that "right click" tip works wonders -
Lytle Creek probably is a little different than the last time I was there in 65

Thank you Antonio... THIS is what makes the Internet so much more than just an information source... Meeting Baja People!
Jeans was perhaps the first to invite 'strangers' to meet and have pizza before a Discover Baja slide show.
Tim Walker (TimsBaja.com) and I had our first personal meeting in San Clemente and invited some amigos to attend. The Humfreville's, elgatoloco's,
Carlos Fiesta, M, Graham Mackintosh, Ferna de Tijuana, Lorenzo de Baja, Wild Bill, David Eidell, Dick Van Bree, Jens (Baja-Web) were some of those who
were invited and were there.
That San Clemente meeting was so well received that 'Viva Baja' (my party's name) was organized to regularly meet in an afternoon & evening in So.
Cal. and share our peninsula excitement (there have been 4). A San Felipe area camping party followed the first Viva Baja with Shell Island and Matomi
Canyon being the destinations of each full day during Presidents Day weekend, thanks to El Camote. Last Presidents Day we repeated the fun with a
campout at Nuevo Mazatlan.
Boojum Buddies Baja Bash (BBBB) was created by M to have more camping parties in Baja often with great prepared food! (there have been 4).
I see our gathering on Sunday as being simular to the San Clemente meeting and the beginning of a new series of Baja Nomad Fiestas or Baja Cactus
Fiestas?
I will be more than happy to help, and then see as many of us (who want to) become personal friends.
Viva Baja Nomad y Viva Baja Cactus!
