Goin' South


Does anyone out here in Baja Nomad Land have old photos of "Going South" to Baja from the 60's and earlier? Many of you will recognize this location. Photo from 1961/San Diego Historical Society.

Sunday afternoon crossing


Yep, it was just as bad back in 1925 trying to make it past the San Ysidro border crossing at 2:00 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon! Photo from the San Diego Historical Society.

A Baja Classic...


I think this photo of Mr. Eduardo Castro is great. Notice the nice clothes he wears, the condition of the his car and how clean the taxi is (including the hubcaps!) for driving all over those dirt roads. The other thing to notice is his watch. This guy was a real businessman! Love the colors on the car as well...in an odd way, they work. Photo taken October 12, 1964 at Punta de Lobos. Howard Gulick collection.

Great to see the photos here on Nomad! I have the link to them in my Baja Notebook site...

Here was the book Howard Gulick was working on when he took many of those photos... All Baja buffs should get a copy!
