Erle Stanley Gardner (July 17, 1889, Malden, Massachusetts - March 11, 1970, Temecula, California) was one of the most prolific American writers. His
works, both under his own name and with more than half a dozen pseudonyms have been translated into most, if not all, languages of the world today.
Undoubtedly the most recognized character, its creation was Perry Mason.
The economic successes that had allowed him to develop many activities both recreational and research and exploration.
As a young and attended primary school in his native state of Massachusetts United States, in one of his books on geography, a map of the northern
part of Mexico stated (incorrectly) that the central area of Baja California was "unexplored ". This fact if insignificant, so impressed him that he
did have the desire from then until his death on exploring the Baja California peninsula. Those tours that performed for just over 30 years we created
a passionate love for the natural and artistic beauties, today, artistic heritage.
Their presence in Baja california his novel "The land of shorter shadows" publicly expressed in 1947 when public.
Stanley Gardner did his travels in all kinds of vehicles, including some of its own manufacture. I travel in: boat, boat and ship, truck, van, and car
(all wheel drive), motorcycle, tricycle and ATV (many before these vehicles were marketed) plane, plane, helicopter and finally the most amazing
balloon dirigible. Also not forgetting the need to explore on foot, or on horseback. After his death, his ashes were scattered at his beloved Baja
California.
I wanted to dedicate this little blurb to the trip I do in one of the famous "Blimps" of the tire company Goodyear airship "Columbia" unlike the
"zeppelins" This balloon is filled with helium gas which makes it extremely safe and manageable.
In preparation for his trip on the Ensenada and Tijuana found bureaucratic obstacles in both countries and even more! Fortunately had a wonderful
friendship with Don Wulfrano Ruiz de Tijuana and who had been ambassador to Mexico in France who expeditiously obtained authorization for the intended
flight of "goodwill".
Just that ...... The airships as "Columbia" require an operational land consisting of a 10-ton truck with all the trappings necessary to ensure the
balloon descends once and personnel trained in such things. This vehicle is known as a "chase vehicle" and vehicle tracking. Onboard tools and
refractions leads. When trying to move from San Ysidro to Tijuana they found another obstacle. The truck was carrying among other things shortwave
receiver, a series of punch cards that were used to send in the form of electronic code, electrical messages that would be seen at night in the
transmitter side of the airship. Messages of greeting people in Baja California and publicity announcing the 1968 Olympics. Our zealous customs
authorities did not allow the passage of the truck until you reach a "higher order" And don Wulfrano Ruiz Where was I? Nothing unless aboard the
airship circling Tijuana waiting for the truck to descend.
At the airport waiting for a cut Tijuana reception led by Francisco Lopez, mayor of Tijuana and his brother Alfredo López, director of the Department
of Tourism. Among the events planned was delivered the "keys to the city" mr. Stanley Gardner. Three long hours passed until, finally, came the
"higher order" and was allowed to pass the truck.
The next day they left bound at Cypress airport. The blimp moves at an average speed of 30 miles per hour. A splendid climate framing the beauty of
the Baja California coast. The tour included a flyby of the island of Todos Santos and La Bufadora area.
Already once ground and perfectly secured airship, Bob Masson, director of public relations for the company Goodyear had the idea of taking a color
photo with the blimp background and accompanied by a mariachi band. They dispatched a driver aboard one of three cars that brought the group. They
soon realized that a vehicle would be insufficient to accommodate a group of mariachis and their instruments, so they sent a second carriage.
What initially was seen as a matter of half an hour 'lasted for three hours. Then they sent the third and final vehicle to look for the elusive
mariachis and seekers ..... The result was unsuccessful. The crew of the third vehicle after crossing the center of Ensenada, without finding mariachi
seekers opted not to return to Cypress, where they met with surprise that there was almost Mariachi gown with instruments ready .... Six hours of
waiting to take a souvenir photo!
===================================================
Choral Pepper was on that blimp ride... here are some of the photos she gave me from it, one looks like the same from the article (La Bufadora):
