This one names all kinds of places in Baja! Well done!
I was not familiar with the term for a local norteno "Cachanilla." Down Cabo way the locals call themselves "Cholleros."




No b-tchin\' in the Baja.

I gotta go

The sun gets high when I get low
The only way to get there is to let yourself go
Good times are Made in Mexico

I see Doug has The Cowboys of Baja song listed. Our very own 'Baja Bucko' (Teddi) sang us, with guitar, that very song as we sat around the campfire at Mission Santa María, in 2010. HB Murphy recorded it:

Turn volume way up...

Doug (or anyone), in the late 60s or early 70s was a commercial for High Karate After Shave (New Iced High Karate)... It was the after shave that "beat the Baja"!

Cute commercial that featured an Eskimo, dressed in winter clothing, running down 'the Baja' and keeping cool thanks to the after shave. He passed desert scenes and broken off-road racers to cross the finish line!

I have looked in the past without luck on YouTube.

No luck either, but try searching "Hai Karate", not "High Karate"
