Meeting Mike and Maryanne


We were camped in Bay of LA on the beach near the end of the runway when Mike and Maryanne stopped by to say hello. Mike had admired my camper and wanted to see it up close. It was a 1967 Sears Roebuck Ted Williams signature pop up that I had restored. I'd heard about Mike and Maryanne from this board and felt honored to meet them. They hung around a while and me and Mike talked fishing. He found out that I didn't have a net so he went home and returned with a net for me to borrow. He told me to just drop it off when I was done with it. The true Baja spirit that keeps me going back year after year.

Very nice, thanks for sharing!
Here is a photo of Mike at Camp Gecko in July 2003, with a pair of yellowtail:
