Send him a U2U.
When I disappear each summer, I get a few, inquiring if I am OK.

I received an e-mail from him on 10/29 --- I will check and let him know people are asking.
Opps, I did not see Vince's post --- so nevermind, except I did tell him people were asking. :-)

Barry and I exchange email... If he has something to share, he will. I hope he will get more active again, as it is nice to hear from someone with so
much desert Ranger experience and common sense and love of Baja, as Barry has.

Barry is a great guy. And although it's probably none of my/ our business, I do find it curious that he has seemingly withdrawn from participating
here.

We have lost several amigos/ nomads, over the years... and not just from natural causes. There is a point when the debating or criticizing about what
someone posts just not fun or entertaining anymore. The Nomad who posts only to have someone yell at him for showing a forbidden surf break, or road
data, or that he hasn't been to Baja recently so he has no 'right' to share here is a turn off to the Nomad.
Any Baja conversation is welcome here and a lot of non-Baja is as well. If the owner of this site (Doug) doesn't want a certain type of topic
discussed, it is his business.
I hope people don't let the noisy minority blow them away, because the majority here love to read about Baja , see photos about Baja, and share things
about Baja... that's what a Baja discussion forum is all about!

There is a predictable element here who can't wait for certain parties to post and initiate sarcasm and baiting comments which invariably diverts the
tone of the original thread. You have to appreciate the majority who sincerely contribute or try to gather information on BAJA related topics. It can
be very annoying to see the pattern repeated again and again by the same parties who obviously have nothing better to do with their lives. When
certain Nomads post a comment or topic you can count on the same suspects jumping in to berate and taunt with the same childish comments they
apparently think are cute or clever that worked for them in second grade.

Thanks for the nice comments, and inquiry.
I am doing ok. It was just coming to a point that due to me not going to Baja CA for quite a while, I did not think my comments were relevant, or
certainly not current, anymore. David K is correct in that the contentiousness put forth by a few NOMADS was just getting old, and I did not need to
read that anymore as it is pretty depressing, and so unnecessary.
I still read some of the posts, but normally only those that are about back-country Baja and tin-boat fishing as that has always been my main interest
and activity in Mexico.
Somehow I became un-registered, and that has never happened before----could not post, nor u2u. I re-registered and that was no problem, so here I am,
but will limit my actual input unless I have something I think would be helpful.
You folks are great!!! Viva Baja!!!
Barry

How refreshing to read that I'm not alone in sharing this sentiment. I'm waiting for the day to get attacked but somehow it hasn't happened yet.

And a certain few LOVE to just drop contentious political statements in threads where there is reason for same, and then scream innocent when others
disagree or call him out on doing so. Major troll stuff.
Good to hear from you Barry.

Well said David. Wish I'd said it.
