JR / Wonder Bar
Bruce, ! increible ! Whod'a thunkit? and "smoke free".
We lived just a few blocks away, last house on some street that either dead-ended or "T'd" @ the river.
As soon as "the sun's over the yardarm" I think I'll hoist a brewski or two to the old hang-out. And one to yourself, as well. Hope we meet
someday.

Bruce, Bruce here again. Just remembered... I think JR got into some difficulties there in Rock Springs, too. Can't remember the details though.
Hast la proxima.

Mulege
Bruce, I just got through admiring your cartographic and artistic renderings. Beautiful, very well done, sir.
A "411": How far up the rio there in Mulege could a boat with 7' draft and 45' mast get? And what's the scoop on long-term liveaboards at anchor?
Thanks, All the best to you & yours, Qvb
BTW, I tried to sign the guestbook on your w-site but after clicking the "sign..." button, it wouldn't load. Ciao
No fear, no loathing.

missed replies
Bruce, I've been getting notifications on MSN that there've been replies from you, Baja Bernie, and Sharksbaja, but when I click on the link to the
Nomad Board, there's nothing new. Any ideas? suggestions??
Thanks, Qvan bruce

at high tide you could get lucky and get just inside but I would not try it with seven feet below. most of the liveaboards stay down in the bay there
are excellent anchorages there and it is beautiful.

Nomads - Sorry for the delay in continuing JR's saga, I had to go work for awhile and I'm now working on loading a bunch of pictures (1953 - 1980)
onto cd so I can sort & organise them and them incorporate them into the JR stories.
COMING SOON

I'm glad to do my part to keep the thread going, I wish I'd gotten a "tutorial" from JR about how to organise and post pictures. As well as how to
take such good and interesting photos. I still can spend hours looking at the hundreds (thousands?) of photos he took of the Peninsula. Especially
those in the "Baja's Best Roads" gallery and the ones in the remote "ranchitos" he kept finding on his "voyages of exploration".
"mota heir, mota there" Ciao, Bruce

Mom and Dad met while Dad was learning to guide waves of "Higgins" boats onto the beaches, first those of the Coronado Amphibious Training Base, later
onto slightly less friendly ones of Tinian, Peleliu, Leyte, Okinawa, etc.
Mom was supposed to have been chaperone-ing her younger sister to an officers function at the Phibbase. The chaperone-ing resulted in Mom & Dad's
carrying on a standard wartime long-distance romance and when Dad returned intact in '45 or'46 they married, and returned to Dad's home in the tiny
hamlet of Chester, Mass. where he went back to teaching.
Their first-born son, the writer, was born in '47. JR, their 2nd, in '53. Sort of a surprise.
No fear, no loathing.

Aaaand, shortly thereafter, began charming the ladies. He and his companion on the swings, Patty, were an item until he moved to California in 1960.
The writer spoke to Patty recently, she's now a grandma, and she fondly related several stories about their escapades "back in the day".

As you can see, moving 2500 miles to the West didn't cramp his style much. I'm pretty sure he's about to make a move....
