Graham Mackintosh Book Signings/Slide Shows
Having just kayaked from Gonzaga Bay to LA Bay... and now for something completely different.
I'll be heading down to Los Cabos to give slide shows and sign books.
First presentation will be in Loreto December 1 at Mediteraneo, 6 PM, an event arranged by Jeannine at the book store.
Next in Todos Santos, December 4 at the Cultural Center at 5:30 PM. Books available via El Tecolote book store.
Next day, December 5, I'll be signing books at the Baja Books and Maps booth at the Organic Market in San Jose del Cabo. 11-12:30
And while I'm in Baja Sur I'll be looking for other places to give slide presentations and talk about my Baja books and adventures. Will post as I
make arrangements.
Looking forward to meeting as many Nomads as possible.
It has been almost 30 years since my first Baja book - Into a Desert Place - was published. Now it's out of print and I'll likely be selling my last
copies on this trip and over the holiday season.

I still have my signed copy of Into a Desert Place from back in the '90's. We met you at Ecomundo when you were on a trip down to La Purisima to
visit your burro. -- Rich and Penny

It is super easy for me to remember when I met Graham... He was doing one of his slide shows at a bookstore in Solana Beach, and my wife was
very--very pregnant, but she too wanted to go see Graham's show (her parents had met Graham while he was doing the walk and took him out fishing with
them).
My daughter Sarah was born the next day... Friday July 13, 1990! There was a thunderstorm and it knocked out the power at Palomar Hospital so that the
emergency generators kicked on... and then came Sarah!

Thanks Mr. Fisher, always fun to share my Baja adventures with an audience in Baja...
And thanks for the memories bajarich and David...
That's quite a story David, and I'm deeply honored that you and your wife would attend under the circumstances. No wonder it was unforgettable. I
guess Sarah was also listening!

Thanks Graham, I will let her know when I call her (she is in Arizona).
Is your latest slide/PowerPoint show including any of the kayak trip? If and when it does, I look forward to attending the next one you have in San
Diego County!
Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Well that's a first! My vehicle was stolen today from Mike Younghusband's house in Loreto while we were out visiting his old burro Don-Kay at a ranch
north of town...
Unfortunately my SUV was fully loaded... had my laptop and projector, camping gear, the works.
Will still be able to give the Nopolo Wine Cellar show, as that will be on TV screens and I have a memory stick, but I'm going have to cancel the
events at Estrella del Mar and Las Casitas in Mulege. Sorry.
Looks like I'm stuck in Loreto for a while. Stolen vehicle is a black 2015 Honda CR-V AWD. Licence # CA 7NET758

That sucks. Very sorry to hear that, Graham.
There's a thread here about motorcycle thefts in San Felipe. The gist if the story was that someone connected was able to retrieve the stolen bikes
very quickly. I'm hoping there's a good resolution to your situation.
As I told my wife when we missed the flight from Loreto: "look on the bright side, we get an extra day in Loreto!"

So sorry Graham. I would post a photo of the CR-V on Facebook and encourage people to share it so people are aware of what happened. Thieves suck!

That sucks Graham. I thought the new CRv's had a good anti theft protection system...or did they come get it with a tow truck?
Picture would be helpful. especially on facebook (more readers).

Here's the missing black beauty, slightly dusty, a few days ago in Todos Santos. Picked up a screw in a tire and needed repair. Had all of 3000 miles
on clock.
Mike and I were off visiting Don-Kay and running his little dogs (Max and Rusty) on the beach at San Bruno. Came back five hours later and his house
had been broken into. A spare set of keys were hidden in one of my bags and they emptied the bag and found them.
Not wanting to have all my eggs in one basket, I thought they'd be safe behind locked doors in house, car inside a locked gate, with two big dogs to
watch over them and patrol yard! Big belated lesson!

And thanks everyone for the concern and suggestions... spent most of day making police reports and dealing with such matters. Will keep you posted.
Back to hiking and kayaking very remote places for me.

Graham---That is terrible. So sorry. Can`t imagine how you feel.
Talked to a Loredo friend who said the town just isn`t the same. I`m sure Mike has the same stories of increased theft in his neighborhood.
Best of luck, hope you get your ride and gear back.

I sure hope it gets returned and in OK shape. If that can't happen, I sure hope your insurance will cover it.
