Day by day, this place is smelling more like one of those ole whale carcasses

Does anyone disagree?
David K. has reduced the number of political statements he makes, but in the past he made clear his conservative views and often they included insults
to those who have liberal views. Many times those posts caused disagreement and hostility between nomads.
If he had kept his politics to himself or posted them in off topic, this thread would not exist.

In my 8 years as a Nomad, I have seen numerous members quit this board over lesser abuse than David has taken.
I know that David and his beautiful wife Elizabeth (who never says much of anything on this board) has a great heart, and were it not for him, his
maps, advice, photos, trip reports, answers to questions, and numerous friendships throughout Baja, this board would be just another bulletin board.

I agree wholeheartedly. David provides amazing information for anyone living in or wanting to visit Baja. I think there are few people with even a
small percentage of the history that David knows.

Jajaja,
I have met David, too.
Oddly enough, he helped me with some minor mapping.
Shocking, I know!
I can look past much of the stuff here.....
I bet they are having a field day on some of the "more" interesting sites where they cut and paste everything over here!

Anyone? I drive a 2WD F-250 with a heavy cabover. I seldom go off road and I'm not the least bit interested in the Missions. And because of that, I
have little use for maps. He provides amazing information for folks who only have the same baja interests as he does.

Strongly! The OT sewer here is not a place where I would try to carry on a civil discussion about anything.

I hear you loud and clear!! I post over there and at times there are some interesting discussions, but mostly the threads are ruined by.... well, I
won't go there.

Be clear, I am not saying the climate doesn't change... it changes all the time. It just doesn't happen the way some are saying. Hillary did someone

 I swear, he can't help himself!

That is no excuse. Politics should stay off this message board, don't you agree? If someone posts a political statement, the proper thing to do is
ignore it.

My interests in Baja are many.
It began as a fishing paradise for my dad.
It became a joy to explore the dirt roads to see where they went.
My mother loved seeing the old sites, missions, graveyards, mine ruins.
Camping and four wheeling became a lifestyle.
The beach was just a perfect place to decompress from school and work and life in general.
Writing down the odometer reading at points along the road was interesting for me to do and record. I wrote road logs.
Making maps of the many dirt roads I traveled was a hobby.
I got involved in the off road races for a time and thought I wanted to be a mechanic.
This was all by age 22.
I came to appreciate the history and the hardships it was for those who came to Baja before automobiles.
I was fascinated by the passion and energy it took to build the missions and the roads between the missions.
All these things attract us to Baja... not all the people, but different things for different people.
I am so blessed to have seen Baja from border to the tip before the highway was built and how the ranchos operated.
Many of these things will not be understood by future generations unless they are recorded.
The missions are vanishing, in my lifetime, so I have recorded them. They have a fascinating tale to tell. I hope there is a little curiosity out
there about them?
Why?
Because...
Baja California IS the Land of Missions!

OK, I will try. Will you please chastise the others who also reply? Nip it in the bud, they say!

DK can say wtf he wants within the established parameters of rules of decency. He outdates everyone and has been here from his day one to the
present. None of you discontents are new to his style...his M.O. so why make an issue of it today?
If you don't like what he says, don't read his submissions.
Speaking of missions.........

im callin' boolchit! tenure here means nothing, I don't care HOW LONG david OR you have been here, this is Dougs site and his very first board rule
is "must pertain to baja". I don't think he could be any clearer.
if you can't comply maybe this isn't the site for you

Well, I have met DK face to face and he's A-OK in my book. Probably the most helpful person on this forum. If you don't like what he posts, don't read
it. Very simple.
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
