Greetings from a newbie
Hello everyone,
I have been a long time lurker and decided to take the plunge.
I have a great love for this peninsula. It all started back in 1965 with my moms addiction (to Baja that is).
We had a trailer near the Half way house in the 60s, Punta Banda late 60s,and Ensenada early 70s.
After that I was hooked and Ensenada was just a place to stock up for trips down the peninsula.
I am lucky to say that I have spent years (combined trips) surfing and fishing on both sides.
I kept getting crowded out at my favorite spots in Baja so I now reside in Mainland Mexico. I have been happy down here for over a decade. I am
truly blessed.
Okay I donŽt want to bore you. I hope I have something to contribute. Thanks for having me

You are surely welcome. Although your posts about where you are, about life over there will be cheating a little I think the board will allow you some
latitude. For more than a decade I have sat on my patio staring across 120 miles of water wondering what life might have been like for me in that
place that is so close, yet so far --- and so very differente I can only suppose.

Welcome!
You and I have been going to Baja the same (since 1965)... Hope you tell us more about those early trips and what you like about Baja or where you
keep going to.

Welcome chippy. Just wondering, and obviously, if you don't wish to share, that's ok, but I would think it to be of interest to the nomads as to where
in mainland Mexico you are, and how it is, given your past infatuation with Baja, that you ended up there.

Thanks fixtrauma and Bajahowodd. I am here at 19 north and 104.5 west. Southern Jalisco to be less coy. I ended up here after (as stated) losing my
favorite places to crowds. I tried a few different countries but Mexico always kept a hold on me. So here I am.

Thanks Shari. IŽm in a small village but not as small as yours. I spent a lot of time near you back in the 70s. It was tough to get to but my memories
of Abreojos still get me smiling.

Specific location notwithstanding, that stretch of the coast has numerous fabulous surf breaks. Salud!
