Right... I do and have... and despite what others have you believe, I have NEVER promoted or given directions to SURF POINTS/ SURF BEACHES etc.
I am not a surfer, so I have no opinion on where one should surf. I just find it amazing that any of you who go to the 7 Sisters think it is fine for
you to go, but nobody else? If you like it so much, how about explaing why you are to be an exception to your own rule? No wave at the 7 Sisters is
ever going to look like ones at Huntinton Beach or Encinitas with that number of surfers on it.
I give my trip report about DIRT ROADS... my MAPS that show DIRT ROADS... roads used by anyone with the right vehicle. This post was from a motorcycle
rider, not a surfer. Thinking the dirt roads in that area are only used by surfers is silly.
After Woody sent me u2u in 2007 following my trip along THAT coast, I edited my report to make it sound undesireable... calling it cold and foggy,
saying the fish camps were 'ugly'!
I could have left the weather or fish camps part off as I originally wrote the report. Now, he bad mouths my report and my use of the word 'ugly fish
camps' and it was for him that I called them that. There just is no pleasing some of the Nomads! 
Have fun Sunman, where ever you go!

How about if someone asks a question on Nomad, and gets an answer... others don't jump on the Nomad for providing the answer?
We can't keep guessing at what dirt roads in Baja California are taboo to talk about. We are all supposed to be members of the same club... a club of
Baja fans...

I never said that it wasn't fine for others to go and there is no rule that i am the excpetion to.
My post was also meant to explain the logic to other non surfers.
Also you would be surprised at the crowds at certain areas there, you really have no idea.

think you are wrongo againo, dk. I surfed scorpion bay in early 1990s and thought it was quiet and uncrowded. today i hear it is overrun with people
(i haven't been back since early 90s)
dk: someday 7 sisters will be relatively overrun with people. even today you can visit 7 sisters area and find nasty gringo surfers that will subtly
suggest you leave a beach or break.
still, it is nice to find an online source as to roads/conditions, so keep up the road logs, but if you ever start posting about my secret spots,
well, i might give you the stink eye too luckily, you stay away from the
mountains

So there are 'crowds' there... who never before heard of the 7 Sisters or figured out how to get there without my 2007 trip report... really? I don't
think so...
Sunman, my reply wasn't all to you... It was for the 'player haters' on Nomad. I am not sure why they are on an Internet Baja site if they don't want
to see or share places to go to in Baja?

Scorpion Bay is not in the 7 Sisters... there is a difference.
Anyway, don't worry about YOUR secret spot... I won't tell!

I don't get it! All this bickering got my attention so I did a quick Google search and now know more about the infamous Se$%^ Sist$% than I ever
wanted to know. I first rode that area in the late 80's and never knew it was so secret. I found it looking at the AAA map.
I guess this goes back to DKs 2007 trip report. These kinds of reports are very helpful to us dirtbike guys (like Ged). We have very limited fuel
range.
Chase Trucks? ??
We don\'t need no stinking chase trucks!

Yah, it has a lot to do with safety to know where the roads go and how far it is to the other end. Knowledge or Ignorance, which one do you want on
your side?

read the aaa map. log the miles. don't ask for hand holding - turn by turn directions. as we all know it ain't that hard to get there.
i think Sunman explained it as good as anyone (SkipJack, Sharks, others) but our hero just can't let it go.
it's pointless folks. d**k**** just needs the lime light.
someday, on a single track! Neptune willing.

Punta Santa Rosalillita...
Myself and a friend 1st went to this point in 1974...right after the main highway was paved. Back then there was no village...only a couple of old
trailers back off the beach used occasionally by fisherman? When we were there it was wind swept and cold (winter). Nobody lived out there...we were
all alone camping...a little bit erie at night with the wind blowing constantly but off shore. There was a small break just south of the main point
that had a good right we surfed. Today that break has been obliterated. We took the coast road south from there and came upon the "solitary grave on
the right side of the road" just as was described in G&G's Lower Calif Guidebook. I stopped and got out and kinda wondered out in the middle of
nowhere who it might have been who died so long ago. Probably a child?...lots of village cemeteries filled with children in Baja. Still very hard to
get medicines and medical care by the poor in Baja. A few years ago I gave a couple a ride back to Erindira. They had borrowed rides to get to
Ensenada to find treatment for their young sick child and were borrowing rides to get back to their hard scrabble life. Takes them all day or more.

David promotes every, well almost every, aspect of tourism in Baja. Not that 90% isn't good, informative and legit. It's the other 10% he just can't
help himself from.
Sound familiar Diver?
Still, ya gotta give him credit there as well. Who else do yu know that can take such a lickin' and keep on tickin'?
But out of respect for some the ol' regulars,please stfu. Nuff said.

Or delete it? 
I dont mind it. The spots are fickle, winds are horrible, and colder than hell... either you go and try and find it, and get totally skunked, or hey
-- you might just like the land and enjoy it. But, its the adventure part that is the best.

let's not!
how much have you paid them for the priviledge (sp?) of taking their word? or repaying for their time/gas?
go find it for yourself, like a real man.
nothing personal, unless you are a d**k****.
men are wilting in the shadow of DK! i have the u2u's where he states i told him to call a fish camp "ugly".
it's his call.
someday, on a single track.....
