My friends in Bahia Asuncion.
I would like to take a moment and talk a little about my new friends in B. Asuncion.
If you followed my post you know I just visited Jaun and Shari. I went there as a result of reading the posts from Shari and the photos of yellowtail
caught by Iflyfish and Jaun.
If you love remote Baja locations and an authentic Baja seaside experience then B. Asunsion is the place for you. And to take it one step farther try
San Roque.
It's a great place but what really does it is Juan and Shari. Now, I know this sounds like some kind of an advertisement but it's not. I not a paid
endorser ( I wish! ) or anything like that.
When Jaun took me fishing he wasn't even going to ask for any money and I just about had to beg them to take some cash. Very refreshing! Shari was the
perfect host and invites you to her home and cooks meals. I had an omelette 1 morning with eggs from her chickens that live right outside the house.
So if you go there please enjoy the company of these fine people. And be generous back to them to if you can. It's a hard place to make a living and
they are there to help you anyway they can so it's good to help back.
B. Asuncion is a special place and it seems to attract the "right kind" of visitors. It's a great little town and a place that you will feel good
about spending a few of your hard earned dollars. So enjoy!

I couldn't agree more.
Glad to hear that your first visit was as special as ours;
and Trotter's and Gypsy's and Bajaboy's and Birddogs and a few others...

Yup... I had a good impression of Shari when we first communicated... I believed she and the Bahia Asuncion people had a lot to offer the Nomads as
most of us seem to zoom on down the Hwy. and miss the out of the way places like Asuncion.
Glad Baja Angel and I finally got out there last July... It was way nicer than the Seven Sisters! (hear me surf N-zis?)

Shari, Juan, and Serinita must make the people of Asuncion proud. They'd be a
credit to any community.

You just never let go of anything do you? And N-zis? First of all, it wasn't about surfing spots, second of all, don't you think you're stretching it
just a little bit? Sheesh.

OK. I'm encouraging all of us to shut up about BA immediately! I'm sure I'm not the only one here who has a serious jones to check out BA but can't
get down there immediately. the Bajanomad board is large, but not that large. Could we possibly all agree to keep our mouths shut for the next 6 to
12 months allowing us to get down there and purchase a part of heaven before the rest of the world learns about it? Once we're all there we'll enjoy
it and stonewall the rest of the world for 20 or so years, till we're all old and decrepit. Then we'll sell, our kids or those of you young enough
will make piles of $$ and all will be happy. Doesn't that sound like a glorious plan? Please?

I know what you mean! I am reluctant to talk about the place. But it's worth the risk to try and help out some people,both Nomads and Asunsionados
alike.
It will take a pretty dedicated person to go there anyway. It's about 550 miles from the border and the last 50 miles or so of road will really test
your desire. So go for it if you've got what it takes!

MUchas gracias everyone for your support, I was looking at my Nomad list yesterday and around 40 of you amigos have visited us since I joined this
clan! Hey Fishbuck...those kayakers who were camped out in San Roque told me a funny story...they got up early to pack up to leave but Maw just had to
take a couple more casts yesterday morning before the others got up...well he ended up catching 4 yellowtail from the beach in front of our casita
there...he was so stoked and hated to leave....Juan's out right now with Halboo so I hope they have a good a time as you did Mike!
Docsmom, I have a great deal for you...

Warning, Warning, Careful, Careful
We made that right hand turn off the highway last Febuarary and boy, it has cost us a lot of money!
Remember, there might be earthquakes, angry coyotes at the dump, bumpy dirt roads, soft sand to get stuck in, a wandering horse, and there was a BIG
storm here in 1998.
Not a safe place----very scarey place. Dark nights and loud surf. Dang, just not a safe place at all. Need a notepad to remember all the people one
meets, and a class in Family 101 to remember the family connections.
No, nomads, that right hand turn headed south on Highway 1 is REAL dangerous.

Me and my fat retired buddy will be down there in March also. BA and Mulege are our two main destinations for 3 weeks. I'm also looking for a heavy
drinking pilot who accepts free drinks.
I remember being transferred to Oregon in 1978, when the signs were all "come and visit but don't stay". Stayed 2 years and then back to Fresno.
If BA is what I think it is, I'm looking forward to writing a "rotten" trip report.

Hello all.
I have been lurking on these boards for a few days now and getting ooddles of info. Before even seeing this thread Tim and I have decided to check
out Shari's digs.
I emailed her yesterday and got a prompt response. I will be emailing her more questions today and days to follow. We plan on being there for
Christmas. I think what nailed it was the off shore fishing. Hope Shari doesn't mind all the dumb questions I am about to fire off to her.
Hey....what are the chances of landing a fish off shore using a fly rod? Don't think I will be taking my belly boat down there.
Now this road you are all talking about....can't be any worse then the road into Bella Coola BC can it?

It sure is not as steep as the Freedom Road to Bella Coola ---quite flat and plenty of room to pass another vehicle---just gets bumpy between
gradings.
We loved Bella Coola!

Young Canadians who recently visited bahia asuncion
I live near Santiago in B.C.S. I was up at the waterfalls above my ranch when I heard a scream!
I rushed over to help a young lady who fell and was bleading very bad and was complaining of extreem pain in her arm and head. They were on foot so I
took her the the clinic in Santiago and then rushed in an ambulance in San Jose Del Cabo.
I am happy to say she WILL BE OK! she broke her elbow and was stitched up above her eye.
I read about all the remarks about these canadians. I would like to just say that they came by my ranch after released from the hospital and brought
gifts and love.
These young canadians were incredibly respectful and some of the most wonderful people I have ever met.
Sincerely,
Kirbe
