Baja.net >>>>> NOT!!


o.k., so I went back to baja.net to see what all the excitement was about....
Been there before, not much change.
All you guys that are pumping the site.... why don't you just go over there, pop a Pacifico, relax and leave this site alone?!
Just a thought...
Anyway, to each his own, I like Doug (his dad is an old racing compadre) and I like David K..... lots of insight and good info (like the GPS stuff for some hikes last week at Yubay- thanks DK)
Besides, I only have enough time to focus on one site, I have another life away from the web.
There you have it...
As Rodney King once said, "Why can't we all just get along?"
Good question.
And, if you don't like it here, then get along to your 'other site.'
We probably won't even notice you left.

Baja Arriba!!

I think that many of the Baja sites have something good to offer...The problem that everyone must agree with one another is the the biggest problem with some sites...kinda like politics and religon. Take the best of what each site has to offer and get past the crap.

We will be on our way back home during that time..... if you are going to be there we may try to stop by. Do you think my 4x4 truck with the cabover can handle that route? I'd be interested in checking it out, time permitting.

Thank All of you for your words!Oh! with the Grace of God, I May some day put togather the words in such a way as
Randy mac!

I took offense at the Post for it seemed to me he was calling Religion 'Crap'I
Was banned from this Board for violating one of the rules,I was Posting as "Anon The Preacher" when I was Logged in as Skeet?Loreto. ! learned my Lesson, It was
a Mistake and I accepted the punishment>

i have returned to my religion after being a "Backslider" for 50 years!
God had saved my life in a Spinning Airplane over the hills of Livermore callif.,he again saved my life while I was towing Gliders out of Bishop, and on several other occasions,but i still did not get it!
then january I had a double Atroscopy on Both Knees that did not turn out well. Still I did not Listed, then Last
October I had an Angiagram, with a 90% Blockage!i had always been able to take care of things,this time my Lovely Wife sat outside worried to Depression that I might have to have Open heart Surgery. the next day when iIleft the Hospital, my wife told me that she had been very depressed the night before waiting to hear but She finally realized the "She Was Not Alone"
I knew at that time that the Lord had been taking care of me for all the years Past and it was now "pay Back time!
so I read Rick Warrens Book on the ' Purpose Driven Life" and have found my "Purpose in Life" I will give the rest of my life tryng to help those in Need.

After redicating my Life to Christ all the Pain went from my Kness, I am now able to work again and Ride my Horse and am looking forward to going Skiing this Next winter.
so being in that frame of Mind when it appeared that some one was calling Religion Crap I
Flew of the handle"

You can call it what you want I Call it a "Miracle"

Randy, you sure have some talent! If you made a charicature of the various Nomad personalities (expressing only the positive side, naturally)... I bet it would be a big hit... Nomad trading cards? Tee Shirts? Decals? Doug...?

After seeing Skeet's picture I think there are comparisons to Jack Nicholson (in looks only Skeet, don't be offended). Actually it is probably Jack who looks a little like Skeet:)

Anyway, nice talent you have (drawing and writing). Very impressive and thanks for sharing.

I have but little to add to this odd discourse; except I DO know where the term "crap" came from. The favorite appliance in most households is a porcelain chair we call a toilet; or a "crapper". Also known as a water closet; it was invented by an englishman with a last name of "Crapper". What a legacy!.
What does this have to to with Baja? Danged if I know.;)




Do the best you can and enjoy your life

Bob H...4baja is correct....not a difficult road.....just washboard/silt at times ....but it is 40 miles long so it takes its toll after a while....will give details on route in later...(or maybe DavidK will provide)....also DavidK went part way in to visit the waterfall/petros a few years ago...I haven't ever seen them but will go sometime....maybe a good place for a NOMAD trip?....

Toad's favorite bus. Wilber the Winnebago...


He wrote song called Mosquito in a Winnebago, but he doesn't have it available as an MP3 on his web site.

I think he wrote it while he was camped in Mulege a few years back. I'll see if I can dig it up from him and post it to this site. Too funny.

Perhaps some of you have come across this crazy Canadian...


in your travels in the Baja. I just received an email from Tad (Toad, or McToad) and he just got back from a trip to the Baja. Cabo, Todos Santos, some of the beaches in Bahia Concepcion, Mulege, etc.

Definitely another nutter from Canada that loves the Baja and a person that's hard to forget.
