Why I'll Never move to Baja
Small, very small stream in the American River water shed. 60 minutes from my house. I'm about 2 or 3 weeks late getting to it this year, flow has
dropped and the umbrella plants are getting big, but still nice to visit an old friend.

Santiago, you know better. There are pockets of fresh water down here and you can grow most anything you like >> bring Oregon to Baja.
Here's the entrance to my patio in Baja Sur. The patio is a dark tangle of big lush leaves and vines and I can't seem to get a good camera shot of it.
Besides, the mist might hurt my Nikon.

Sorry, folks, the magnitude of nature shown in Santiago's pic just can't be replicated, nor can the grandness of Baja be transported elsewhere. Can't
compare the two beauties. Both are stunning.
The picture certainly strikes a chord of longing in this heart. The cellular memory of the sound of the water wind birds, the musky sweet scent-- I
gotta admit, I miss.
Life has brought me to Baja, to this mysterious harsh land that time seems to have forgotten.
The woods, I'll still go and visit from time to time and relish every moment.

Each to his own! My favorite? The swamps, marsh country and Gulf of Mexico down in
MS/LA USA. That's were I grew up. But??? The High Desert? The Pacific Northwest Mountains? The Baja Desert? Hawaii? Southeast Alaska? Jeez! I like 'em
all!!!

I came from the Northeast and Connecticut, I would never return there, the climate of Baja and Ensenada is the best in the country if not the world.
I HATE cold!!!

Jack: Forest Hill is uphill from us about 40 miles so we get the smoke/haze but that's about it. Very tough fire to fight, pretty much all by air.
I just came back from the Crystal Basin, the area between the middle and south fork of the American river where the Cleveland fire of maybe 10 years
ago swept thru and burned everything to the dirt. After replanting the following year, it's an odd looking forest now - all the trees are identical
and maybe 20 feet high. healthy looking but odd. The odd acre or two of old growth that was never cut survived and really stand out.
SkipJack: Yeah, your right. Not a photo one would submit for publication. The moss told me that it was off, fer sure. This stream dumps into the
Rubicon and the next canyon to the north is spring fed and is fishable well into August most years. In fact, I was 'chased off' by some ne'er do
wells who informed me it was private land (may be true) but I suspect the "warm smell of colitas" was not far off. I broke down my rod and drove out
in wet boots. No sense pushing one's luck for dinks, although, some of the most beautifully colored trout I've seen are 8" long and come from pools
in this water shed.

Hear, Hear!!!! Me no likey those bears either. Big Kitties are ok, but bears not so good. Bears are ornry and will kill ANYTHING they take a
dislikeing to. Big cats are much more discriminating.
