Lera, next time you lose your personal Internet connection, please go to Tucker's or an Internet cafe and let us know you are alive and well! If you
did, I am sorry I missed it. Glad you are back!

No, DK, I didn't check in--with so many people posting on the Nomad board, it never occurred to me my absence would be noticed. Thanks for the
welcome!

I have news to report about my missing almanacs that I think you should know about. If you recall, I posted the original inquiry as to the contact
information for Baja-Almanac.Com. We didn't receive the maps in time for our trip. Our trip was a success however because we did bring the full-size
Baja Almanac along with us. Well, I called the publisher yesterday and spoke with the distributor, a really nice lady and asked again for a refund.
She said she would forward my request to Landon C. Well, after waiting so long it is was the only thing I could do and wait more. This afternoon I
received an overnight package. I opened it up and lo and behold, the 4 maps I ordered and a Baja Almanac to boot. A letter of apology for the
mishandling of my order was also included (he ran out of stock and put my order aside along with the note that I called). He also inquired about how
our trip was and said that he would be working to improve the fulfillment quotient on his part. I WAS STUNNED TO NOTE THAT HE ALSO SENT ME A FULL
REFUND (MY ORIGINAL M.O)! Is this a guy I'd want to do business with again? YOU BET! It's hard to find integrity and commitment but I, for one, am
a very satisfied customer. Patronize retailers like him, they are a dying breed. Thanks for an ear, Bob I also stand humbled (I wasn't rude on the phone) but I probably wasn't overly joyous while speaking to his very
nice distribution manager. Thanks again Landon!

David,
I did get the bajagpsguide from Kacey. It really is great and we used a lot of the waypoints for our trip down to Baja. I'm looking forward to
bajagpsguide#2
Check out some of the pics from our trip here:

Thanks again for a great website

Hi Bob, thanks so much for telling us about Landon coming through! That is good news and good PR on his part.
I love your photos! So, Corky was along? I met him at Alfonsina's last year... very nice guy! The road up to Mike's looks like a super highway! Was
the water in Calamajue Canyon deep?
Thanks again!
The only thing I want to say that is wrong, is your album showing pages from Kacey's book. That is a big no-no... She has worked her behind off on
that book (and the next one coming soon) and deserves to get an income from its sales. If someone can copy the pages for free, she is being robbed.
Please consider removing them and honoring her copyright.
Here is Kacey Smith (and Carlos Fiesta) at my Viva Baja party in Oct. 2000. Kacey came all the way from Colorado to join us!

Ouch, my mistake regarding the scans. I had a couple of albums with the wrong permissions on them. Thanks for noticing, it wasn't my intent to
defraud the bajagpsguide. Should be fixed now. bob

I am sure you didn't, Bob... I bet Kacey appreciate's it, however.
Please consider registering so you can participate on the other Baja boards, here at Nomad!
Adios!

FYI, passing through El Rosario a couple months ago, I saw a sign advertising Baja Almanacs near some small restaurant (past the turn). I don't know
if they really have them for sale there - someone should check that out and let us know.
Also, my dos centavos on map errors: it's the errors on the roads in the boonies that are the most important. I mean, do you really need a map to
show you Hwy. 1? I totally wasted 3 hours trying to find a road I wanted one time, following the mistaken mapped road to the OTHER SIDE of an
arroyo, then searching in vain, second-guessing, going further, backtracking, etc., and finally, figured out the map was just plain wrong. Put our
whole trip out of sync.

The place in El Rosario (on the right as you drive out of town, southbound), is a gift shop run by an Americana named Kim. She is very nice to to
visit with. Kim has the Almanac and folding map for sale, supplied by Landon. Check out the wind chimes made from El Marmol onyx!!!

Kat at the San Felipe Title Company (located upstairs next to Baja Java) between Mar de Cortez and the Malecon in San Felipe carries the Almanac and
the fold out map of Baja they also publish. Also quite a few Baja related books - new and used. Closed Mondays.
