Yes, it's as thrilling as it looks.
Are you ready?
Full power, brakes off, hold on to your sombrero!

Looking at the approach end of 29 Pedregal.
I recommend landing a little long. But you can try and hit the numbers if you want.
Just don't end up in the drink.;)

Thankyou. I wish I had more time also. Forsure next time.:coolup:


Are you on facebook Mike? I spend most of what precious little free time I have lately over there. If so send me a message next time there and let me know beforehand. I'll arrange for us to share some seafood and adult beverages together next time...

Peaceful, warm day on Bahia San Quintin. Very pleasant for late Novenber.
This is the view from my "front patio".

I suspect luck had nothing to do with it. He probably worked hard to get where he is at. Many do not and just complain. Hope he knows not to invest in any more than he can afford to lose. Good on you Mr Fishbuck.

A new addition to the neighbor's house.
A couple of guest bedrooms and a little kichenette/living room. The separate building to the left is a party room with bar and dance floor.
I love the style and will probably match it for my place. I think I will make a gym instead of a disco.
But maybe you guys will come visit me and I will need a disco too!:cool:

Hello fishbuck!
Man I love your volcano pics! I'm a Newbie as of yesterday. Thank you for your pics! I was introduced to this SQ beauty this February and went back and stayed about a week at the Old Mill. I'm so enchanted by the bay and the the craters. You are a blessed man to be able to call it "home"!

I really like your sunset-dark pic. Its powerful! And thanks for sharing the homage to Chalin. Its moving. You did well swabbie!

Thank your Nashville Frank. Welcome to BajaNomad. I still pinch myself to make sure it's real.

Our guard shack. It has never been used and has been there a long time. Maybe in the future we will need it.
Fresh coat of white paint. It's a cool little landmark.

Another roadside shrine on the main road to the oyster farms.
Not sure what it's purpose is. Appears new but unclaimed yet. Maybe another memorial or just a "prayer chapel"
