Where were you in 1975?
Was Baja a part of your life in 1975?? I was living in Connecticut at the time...and attending college in the late 70's,,,there was a place called
Texas Tacos, and I ate there every night after my class at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury, CT...this was my first introduction to Tex
Mex food and Mexico proper....

My parents had me hooked...
Beginning with my infancy in the late '60s, I was pushed across the border in a baby stroller. By 1975, I was able to run up and down the beaches of
Rosarito with my two Brothers, Dog, while my Father toiled away at his MA and Mom held down the tent trailer. Everything is documented in the family
albums.

Baja Was Not Part of My Life in 1975
I was living in Ventura county yon the beach at Hollywood by the Sea (That's the real name.) and was the first woman hired as an Outside Advertising
Sales Executive for the Oxnard Press-Courier.
Baja was earlier with my family and then came back into my life later.

Ahhh... 1975...
I was also bartending to pay the rent while attending U.C.Berkeley. You know, I also sailed a styrafoam sailboat with "KOOL" on the lateen sail (a
marketing gimmic from Kool cigarettes) in the Bay. That is about the only connection to BAJA... .

Spent plenty of weekends in BN and a week at a major surf spot in BCS. That fall hitchhiked to Main and back. Spent New Years at another major surf
spot just north of the 28th. Thanks for taking me back, GOOD TIMES.

Scuba Diving Punta Banda
There was a campground on the bluff around half way out the point. Had some great dives there with lot's of Moray eels...
Had my Sperry Topsiders shined by one of those guys on the steet downtown. Looked down and they had gone from the natural light color to Huarache
Orange. My buddies tore me up laughing and on the way home it continued on the CB radio. They really laughed when they saw them on the road driving
ahead of them on the way home after I tossed 'em out the window...

I was a junior at San Diego State, but being a native San Diegan I made several (though not routine) trips SOB growing up. Mostly we went to Ensenada
because one of my dad's clients had a fishing boat and would dock there. We usually drove down and met him.
In 1980, or maybe it was' 81, I started dating a guy that was part owner of a funky beach house in Cantamar. When we broke up I missed the house but
not him and made a few more trips SOB but then started traveling to the mainland. But now I'm back and Baja feels like a look lost friend

My third or fourth wife and I were catching waaay too many dorado in Loreto, Mulege, Los Barriles. I think I died for a short time in 75 from Gusano
Rojo and lovemakeing.
I have no real solid evidence of the event but a definite "Feeling".

I had visited Baja since 1966
But in 1975 I had left Haight Ashbury district (San Francisco) for spending several months in Alaska.

High school in Placentia, Ca., first surf trip to K-55 in July. 10 kids and two YMCA twenty year old "counselors".  Marine Corps a year later, where I learned all the "intimate" details of
TJ, as a crazy 17 year-old. Now married to Dra. Bajabass and kickin' it in La
Paz!
Keep your eyes on the road, and your hands upon the wheel!

Oddly enough, in 1975 I found something at a swap meet that was published by a company from Danbury, CT--Grolier--that had a great influence in my
life. Recently, I have been doing some research on it, trying to find out something about its origins, but the company that took over Grolier,
Scolastic, has been completely uncooperative.
