Rudy, the guy on the left was Genaro's father. Rudy had 4 sons and 4 daughters. only one son is still alive but all 4 daughters are alive. His wife is still living in Tijuana. Leanard became a Mexican citizen and moved to Tecoman near Colima. He was the godfather to one of Rudy's son.

Fantastic photo of Genaro Stickers! That (1989-1990) was nearing the end of our long run of PFQ trips (I always called it "PFQ", I notice pilots use "PSFO" now), but that's exactly how I remember him! The picture I posted was taken in 2002 or 2003, only about 12-13 years after yours. I was a little surprised at how he had aged.

thx for the Genaro pics guys! I really miss him. When my mooney broke down there in around 1987 i had to leave it for a month - he made sure it was safe. 100% hospitality guy in a tough place to run a resort.

No, not the same guy. Gayo is down in El Barril now. He used to work there though...

To the best of my knowledge Genaro is no longer on this side of the sod.

Please guys,
It's baja. Why camp at San Fransiscito or Bahia San Rafeal? Find your own beach. Plenty of beaches still left. You'll be all alone guerranteed. That's the way my wife and I do it. We camp solo all over Baja Sur. The less people around, the less problems abound. Why go to a beach where someone charges? We have plenty of these in SoCal. In Baja, why even stop at beach if there are already footsteps in the sand. Move onto the next beach or cove and and make your own. There's so much room!

I think this is Genaro June 2012. I could be mistaken.

You really need to explore. I once thought the beaches mentioned on Nomad were the beaches to hit. Not so. Everytthing mentioned on this board may lead you in the right direction, but take it as a grain of salt. The best beaches are a 1-1000 miles away from every Nomad Report!

On the other hand I had read somewhere that Thoreau had spent an entire lifetime within 50 miles of Concord and found enough to write 12 tomes of books. You don't really have to go far to discover.

Since you're a photographer, Ken .... I found that the less walking I did on those workshops the better the images were. Kind of like that Morro Bay wharf you've been diving for the past 5 years (I was sorry to read that that's coming to an end now).
