What have you lost in Baja?
I was reading about shrimp c-cktail when this this runs into my head, sorry for the double post.
I just reread a thread about losing and house or a MH and feel really bad for those guys. The rebuilds will be long and costly.
I have had a couple of cars broken into as well my house. You always feel violated when it happens, losing a gift from a loved one or a trinket that
only has value to you is sh!ty. Losing a whole house must be crushing.
When our house was broken into I was reminded of the way I travel the rest of the world, “Don’t take anything you will not throw down and walk away
from”, easier said than done. Nothing of personal value ever went south that didn’t come home on the same trip. The stuff we left was just stuff.
The greatest loss for us has been the access to beaches and surf as well as the over crowing of what used to be remote surf spots. Northern Baja is
terrible for access. If you don’t know how to assess many beaches you will not get on them, period. From Ensenada to Border you need the insiders
guide for most part. It is very hard to pull up, pay to park and go out or just sit on the beach. Southern Baja has seen large strips closed to
access; 10-15 years ago the drive to Pulmo was wide open until you got by a town, now not so much. I can see a day that Scorpion bay need’s a strategy
to get on to. Maybe this is why some of us here wish to under publicize the spots that remain open.
This thread is not about Surf spots but about what you have lost in Baja and miss.
Please don’t jack it to fast.

I lost a nice rod and reel overboard to a big dorado last summer.

I lost and then found my recipe book when it was 600 miles away! A huge loss since it was a personal recipe book with many of my grandma's recipes.
Les might mention I've lost some of my marbles were he the writer.

we just lost our untarnished view of the ocean from our house!
The house will be beautiful! We walk by and see the progress day by day.

My traveling companion, but I didn't lose here until after we had been in Baja for three months and by then we were each sick of one another's
constant company.
Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without.

I have long loved that little bay there, perfect place to launch a kayak from for a little fishing up north. Sorry about the view now.

Do you mean like when a Chubasco with 82mph winds blew our stuff into the Sea of Cortez from Playa Grande? MIA.

Things I've lost in Baja: (not all at once and not permanently)
My heart (don't ask...)
My mind (so much good wine etc!)
My appetite (rarely, but it happens)
But never my nerve! Always wanting to explore new places and meet new people.
