Found a couple Baja books


At an estate sale. The Boojum and Its Home is heavily into vegetation and geographic characteristics of the peninsula.
Inside that book there were multiple pages of handwritten notes of a 1977 trip. I haven't read it all yet - included their packing list.

The other, Lower California Guidebook is a 1970 Fourth Printing. I didn't realize I already had it. If anyone wants it, I'm willing to make an offer you can't refuse. It's a classic with some old photos and street maps.

I don't have the boojum book, only knew of it.
The Lower California Guidebook is a classic must have by all Baja enthusiasts as the Bible of Baja travelers for the peninsula prior to 1970-1973. The road logs, maps, history, and more remain a valuable resource to this day. If for nothing else, as a look at how things were between the 1956 and 1970 editions and printings.
