To avoid aforementioned map names and/or typo issues, please advise: will it be "El Baja" or "La Baja"?
\"Probably the airplanes will bring week-enders from Los Angeles before long, and the beautiful poor bedraggled old town will bloom with a
Floridian ugliness.\" (John Steinbeck, 1940, discussing the future of La Paz, BCS, Mexico)

SEE DK!!! This is why surfers never give away the names of secret spots! Of course all surfers name their secrets spot and each secret spot has many
names so in a way naming your own secret spot keeps it 'yours' to name 
If I ever go there, I'm gonna name it Shelly Island after my sister.

The topic of the term "The Baja" vs. Baja has been several threads over the seven years I have been posting on BAJA NOMADS.
This time it has turned into the most confrontational that I can recall. It has been more humorous in nature in times past.
April's Fools Day didn't even help either.
peace, love and fish tacos.........

(to DK's defense, no one has taken more chit over a term than he has for Shell Island. Look it up!!!!)

As someone pointed out in a reply, The Yucatan Peninsula
is generally referred to as The Yucatan, so I see it
as acceptable as The Baja Peninsula, as The Baja,
not my choice, but Alex Trubek says it's OK

Either way is acceptable. What's the difference? It's no more than some weird snobbery that makes no sense at all.
The more people object, the more they're going to hear it.

It was one of the things I had asked Antonio (a Mexican from Baja California) when I noticed he used 'La Baja'/ 'The Baja'... and he assured me it was
just fine as a short or nick name, in Spanish.
While there still are purists who cannot separate the great amount of power the word 'Baja' has without needing California attached to it. They seem
to only see it as the word for 'Lower'... so in essence 'The Lower'. Baja is great and can live on its own, IMO... even though grammatically
incorrect.

McFez. Oooooppppscssss was because for some reason I had thought I had read other comments you had made in the past regarding David. Must be my 79
years of being a 'non teacher' where I somewhat react when I think I detect a 'teacher' correcting or finding fault with David. He's contributed so
much to this forum, and I never was one to want to correct someone or get on his 'case', that didn't have my brains in gear. Just my mouth/mind.
Since you say it has only been once before in seven years, I'll bow to your recollection and say, I'm sorry I erroneously made a bad assumption. PS

When you start referring to yourself as The David K or even David K, that will be a new thread!!!!

You can't have it both ways......
You deleted this entire post (below)David? The one with the three maps? Just curious why you would do that? Txs

For the interest of other Nomads...
Here is a close up of the island on a pilot's map:

I call it that too! I sure am not getting this Deno, sorry!
I even paid money for many years to say it on my 4WD Subarus:

Well David..........
You want us to respect your calling Estero Percebú...... Shell Island.
Then respect those of us calling .......Baja .....The Baja.
It's very simple to understand David.

Also, I don't care if you call the beach Estero Percebu or Timbuktu... seriously. Sorry we are having difficulty communicating!
