Yes, our Viva Baja events and BBBB, El Rosario Festival & Matomi Baja camping trips have been fun, for sure! The Book Signing at the Pyramid Resort late April/ early May are great annual events. Here are links to photos I have from many of the Nomad and Amigo group get-togethers...

For the new Nomads, a look at our get-togethers/ personal meeting parties... see what some of us behind the keyboard look like!:

Oh man...what a trip down memory lane for the Viva Baja's. It was so sad to see a pic of three amigos together that are no longer with us...Diklang, Mike H. & Jens. Also Dave in 29 Palms.

The parties....on this side of the border, were loads of fun!



Except for that fight over Neal :fire: ;)

Diver, I think that showing all of us having fun together is a good thing... and you can't have too much fun, can you?

Anyway, they are links so click on them as you please... If I actually posted all the hundreds of photos on Nomad then I would say yes, overkill!

Some of the Nomads here today who were around for those first get-together days include Baja Ken (Ken Cooke), Neal Johns, jeans, Whistler, Jay (Taco Felix), Paulina, Graham, BajaNomad, Amo Pescar, egl, Porky Pig, el jefe, el camote, Marla, Bedman, Elena La Loca (LN), La Tijereta (BajaHwy), Debra (travelpearl), Desert Bull, 4baja, Hotschott, and more!!!

Sounds good... there still is a lost mission-era site near there I need to find!

From Choral Pepper/ Desert Magazine July, 1966...







Photos taken by the Erle Stanley Gardner expedition which opened the road between Bahia de los Angeles and Rancho El Barril in early 1966. The rock ruins were discoverd while doing some exploring out from their camp along the route. This was the day after they visited Bahia las Animas and before reaching El Barril/ San Francisquito.

The 1757 Jesuit Map shows a 'mission' called Santa Maria Magdalena as being 'started' north of Dolores del Norte (the early name for Santa Gertrudis) and south of Bahia de los Angeles. Choral Pepper believed they found the site of this unfinished / abandoned mission project...





Circled are the sites of Santa Maria Magdalena (labled: SMM), Dolores del Norte (DDN) which is Santa Gertrudis today, San Ignacio (SI), Guadalupe (G), and Santa Rosalia de Mulege (SRM), as well as another lost mission site near Punta Abreojos in the Santa Clara mountains: San Juan Bautista (SJB).

I second that. Neal's getting old, and I'm getting older. We need another Baja David K convention!:!:

If there are any big rocks to climb over make sure Ken brings some of his jeep buddies. They're a hoot to follow. Never knew a jeep could crawl over such big rocks.

4/4 to 4/12... San Rafael beach camping trip with side trip inland to search for lost mission ruins... Okay!:light:

How many palapas have you and Pancho built on the beach so far?

Will this be your baby's first Baja trip?

What would you like to do on President's Day Jose? Hike the Camino Real from Gonzaga to Mision Santa Maria perhaps? http://vivabaja.com/1103/page2.html









Base camp at Beluga?



Or, another Matomi Canyon run... or other eastside canyons to explore: Parral, Berrendo, Carrizo, Agua Caliente, El Cajon?: http://vivabaja.com/404 and http://vivabaja.com/106/page3.html for more of Berrendo Canyon





Or, something more exotic? The Pole Line Road perhaps?
