Just so dumb... but whatever... Talking about places in Baja is what this forum is about. You come here and take, take, take... and give what, me a
hard time for sharing MY places and trips (never yours)... Chatty Kathy?
By far the most favorite place I have in Baja for camping is Shell Island... and I have been sharing it with my friends since the 1970's. Guess what,
it is still as great now as then.
You don't have to share, but don't make me out to be a bad guy because I make trip reports or maps of where I go in Baja, or where I have been to...
The Internet is not a place for secrets, it is a place for sharing...

Maria because he was driving 90 mph at night trying to make it to the tip in two days? Com'on guys. A little help to the new guys coming up isn't
bad. You were new once upon a time, and needed help. Can't keep secrets for ever. Look at Rincon on a good N. swell. All those "repugnant loners"
out there. |
Did you see my posts on that thread?
Next time you get off the trade routs let's talk.
"Trade routes?" Gimme a break. The trailblazing was done a long time ago. Every dirt track you drive down, is in someone else's tire tracks. All
I'm saying is if some one asks for info so they can have a safer or more fun vacation in Baja, and I can help, I will.

it's coming up on New Year's when i get all soft and squishy inside and start to repent all of my bad behavior of the previous year. then i find
myself wanting to try (for the 3rd time) and get DK to understand.
a cold shower can't snap me outta my funk quicker than that reminder.

have you ever stopped to think how sh!tty it would be if we all wanted to hang out at the same 100' square patch of cactus ridden dirt?
BTW, excellent job with the help topic!

Yep, well said Woody, He'll never get it
I hope your sacrifice brings you surf, maybe a Mohawk?
DK my issues are not with just you but other posters as well. I call you out because of all the posting you do. You are the number 1 poster on this
board and yet go go south, 3 to 4 per year? Seems a disproportionate. Yes, I know you love Baja, you also love being the "the man". Your history is
great. Some of us wish you would quit spewing.
I hope you never lose your access to your little slice of heaven, it sucks when you do.

Perhaps in your mind, but I never met you... and as you haven't met me it would only be fair to not characterize me when you obviously do not
understand my intentions. Do you see the windmill as a Baja Nomad who seeks help, but isn't important enough to take time to assist?

Be careful, I feel the power of the censor key about to be struck! I feel like DK is Billy Mumy in the Twilight Zone episode, "It's A Good Life!" You
know the episode where if you don't like this kid he turns you into a deaf mute and sends you off into cartoon land.
So walk gently, my friend

I think that David does a Great Job.
I have been with this Board for many years and when it was first started it was a Fantastic place to be.
Most of the Nomads that Icontacted were the "Baja Sur' Nomads. Then the Board became somewhat overloaded with the "Baja Norte' Nomads some who are not
really Baja Nomads but the Products of San Diegos's hoar House.
David is very Knowlegeable about the whole area and does a good job of Investigation.Keep it David. Stay Loose and Stay happy!!!

I consider myself one of the "worst surfers in the world". However a long time ago an old timer told me that the "best surfer is the one who is
having the most fun". The 1st time I surfed was in 1970. I was in the Marine Corp and just another swamp rat from Louisiana. My buddies and I were
on the base and down by the beach at San Onofre. After a few beers a Marine who was from California talked me into taking a plank of a surfboard out
into the waves. Within 5 minutes I was dragging that plank back in with a nice gash on the top of my head where the board cracked my melon. Even
with blood running down my neck and being totally exhausted it was exhilarating . Since then I have surfed off and on for decades. Always making
sure that I never quite surfed enough to lose my title as the worlds worst surfer.
Being a bad surfer comes with benefits though. 1-3 ft swells is a perfect day for me. If its crowded I can always go down the beach away from the
lineup and have a great time on the mushy stuff with my 10 ft. board. The beauty of Baja for a surfer like me is that the waves I seek are almost
never crowded or a secret. Unlike San Diego county were I primarily surf.
When I have encountered a desolate spot in Baja with no one in sight and big beautiful waves peeling left or right I just sit there and admire it.
These waves are way above my skill level. But to me at that moment they are my waves and my surf spot. It becomes one of those few things in life
that you selfishly keep to yourself. I just drive off and hope it will be the same if I ever come back.
Now, that I'm moving down too Baja I'll hopefully have a lot more opportunities to see these great and beautiful places. If I do I'll be sure to "Not
let you know where". 
I think this a great forum and I really enjoy all the diverse personalities and opinions. Like the "secret surf spots" I hope it stays that way.
