Any interest/comments about a kids-only forum here?
Any thoughts, good/bad, about creating a kids-only forum here?
Should it be accessible to read/post/reply only by password? - or only to specific users?
Thanks,

Absolute thinking! I had several u2u's come to me...saying that their younglings read here too. Put my kid on the list for this.

That would be great Doug, thanks! I'll even 'ride herd' over the little buggers if you need someone.

Doug,
Baja Kid's Forum sounds great. A place for children to share their experiences, ask questions for school reports, show off fishing/ camping photos,
meet other kids who share the same interests, etc.
It could also be a resource for parents and serve a purpose for the many "parent to parent" questions regarding taking kids to Baja.
To keep the forum some what accountable, perhaps it should require posters to be registered rather than allow anonymous postings.
Our Baja girl might be interested in sharing some of her experiences living in Baja, 2nd grade at Collegio Rodriguez Cabrillo, meeting new friends and
learning about customs and traditions different from those in the U.S.
Maybe she won't feel like she's the only one who isn't allowed a Game Boy once the roads turn to dirt if she reads it from another child instead of
just hearing it from me!
Here's a shot from camping out for this year's 500 race.
Saludos!

You also might consider
including some Mexican kids just so their "knowledge" of Baja isn't tainted by tourists

JR? As far as I know you have no young children, so I have to wonder why you feel a need to sling 'caca' to this simple question about a kids forum?
Did anyone say anything about whom to invite? (except you?) I think the question was "would anyone be interested in a kids forum"? SHEESH!
Doug, I think maybe a registered forum would be good, and no "Adults" allowed except parents. Is there a way to make that happen? And sorry if this
offends anyone......BUT, I think a tight control would be called for.
And I tried to stay out of the "uglies" about the foul language, but, NO! not every kid says it, when not around his/her parents! My son (11 almost
12) came to me and asked if while singing the Toby Keith song about 9/11 if it was okay for him to say "ass" while singing to that song! Silly me! I
told him "yes"......
No, we don't have to just lay down to what is the "norm" we can set better standerds for out children! Debra's rant "has left the building"

Well, I haven't heard JR mention any children (mea culpa) Do they travel south also?
My children???? "Children " are 31, 25 and 11......they have been raised by Mom (and on occasion Dad) until I kicked them out as adults. ( well,
really they went on their own after high-school, but seem to try to multiply and return.....NO WAY! Time to "fly little chickies"........

Slinging Caca?
Actually Debra, my daughter has been coming down since she was 6 weeks old. And, I thought I would share the idea of learning from people that
actually know Baja (the Mexicans) like my daughter did rather than a bunch of tourists ideas on the place.
Sorry if you don't understand!

Well, yes JR, I don't understand....this is the first I've heard of a daughter from you or anyone until now.
The thing that botters me JR, is that you always seem to "talk down" to anyone that doesn't live your same life style, as I said.....some of us/them
have to do a 9 to 5 job and can't live our love as much as we would like....no matter, we do what we can, and where we can......Thing is, I don't know
one person on this board that doesn't love Baja and contribute back as much as they can.....there are a few folks here that I don't like very much,
but as I see it, even they give where and what they can. Tourist? Well, I dont see many since I was at Cabo. 1997 ICK! (sorry, not thing personal
to those that live there, just not my cup of tea)...what I see is true lovers of the Mexican people and that way of life........
So....if I might be so bold....let you daughter learn from ALL people, there is alot to learn.....

Again JR.....no one excluced Mexicans to the new "Baja Nomads Romper Room" in fact.....that would be the best! In fact, can you give me a web-site
that I can go to to invite Mexican kids to the site? You get on line.....do those kids in your village have access? That would be really great!
Thanks!

Unfortunately Debra
Our land lines are about a month or two away. But, there are plenty of bilingual kids in Los Barriles. As well as Rosarito.
The question is, would they have interest in this sort of nonsense. I will check.
