The Mike McMahan Project
Ok, I have created a reproduction of Mike's wonderful Baja map that is printed on canvas and has turned out awesome.
I have searched, asked around on this site and even looked into the copyright office to find any family or children to get permission to reproduce
this wonderful piece.
If anyone has any contact information please U2U me so I can have my attorney make contact.
Thanks

David is correct in what he's saying to you. It's all yours and I'm sure Mike McMahan would be glad you did.
What I would do; Go to Loreto, take a panga out and let Mike know what you're doing.

PS I'd love to have one once you have them.

As I mentioned in my post, if anyone has an email or phone number go ahead and post it to my u2u

As I said to you above, if you want me to forward an email to Mike's granddaughter (if you would feel better hearing this from her), I would be happy
to help you.
I will not give out emails or phone numbers to people not seeking any contact. I will be happy to relay to her your email or u2u for her to reply
through me or directly to you.

What part of this is difficult?
If anyone has a connection to the McMahon family for "me" to represent myself to present my art directly and negotiate a equitable solution, please
send me a u2u with a phone number or email.

What part of David's explanation was so difficult?
He has the contact info, he offered to contact them about your interest and leave it up to them to decide.
BTW thank's dK for never giving out my info before asking me, I like people with integrity

Rather snarky attitude while you're looking for help, I'd say.

Looks like you have already been given all the information you need to accomplish your stated goal. Reminds me of the old saying "Beggars can't be

I've not received anything.
I did not ask for anyone to make a connection. Here is what I asked for:
"If anyone has any contact information please U2U me so I can have my attorney make contact."
Now, if I read this post and I did in fact know how to contact this person. I would ping them and ask, "is it ok to forward your email or phone
number to this person?"
Simple. I want to present my proposal first hand and discuss what I changed etc........

It's like we are speaking in different languages, and I am sorry if it is I who doesn't 'get it'. That you choose not to send me an email or message
that I can forward her (the only way I can maintain her privacy) is why you are still here asking for it to be done your way.
Because I am a history buff/ writer and have high respect for Baja authors, I have tried to meet as many as I can in my life. I am likely the only
Nomad who knows the Mike McMahan family as much as I do (and it isn't much, grant you). You may not like that for whatever reason, but I am trying to
do you a favor here as you sound like you are trying to do something to help the memory of Mike and his work live on and I, for one, appreciate that.
Even though you keep blowing me off, I did have an email exchange with her this morning and I gave her the link to this thread for her to see for
herself why it is you are being so insistent that you get her email instead of allowing her to contact you, privately. She tells me that indeed she
does maintain all the copyrights to her grandfather's maps. |
Move on David, dust off your sandals, it's not worth any more of your time or effort. I don't know how much clearer Cortez can make it for you, he
doesn't want your help.

c'mon fess up. What you're really lookin' for is a bunch of ancient irrelevant maps to their location that maybe Christopher Colombus coulda used ...
or maybe directions with a 20yr old road-condition report! right?

Please post that you confirmed that the McMahan family still holds copyrights and will take action if this is published. I don't like being walked
over this way...it really upsets me what he did without my knowledge. I don't know how to post to nomad, but would probably start with How dare
you!"
I told her how to post on Nomad if she wanted to.

I dont think cortez did anything yet, no copyright law broken yet. Only bad behavior seen here is peeiness between dk and cortez, and dk publishing
private communication that defames cortez.

That's the point 666, I won't publish private contact info unless asked to.
1) Cortez asked if anyone knew the family, and I did and offered to relay his request to her (keeping private info private).
2) To help Cortez achieve his desires, I also emailed the granddaughter letting her know what was being asked for, and the link to this thread for her
to read herself.
3) The above in bold is her response, and she asked me to post it.
I also don't think Cortez did anything wrong and that's why I wanted to help him do it correctly if he was going to sell it. I guess the granddaughter
didn't care for his replies here and got angry???
EDIT:
Email just in (12:04pm)...
Thank you.
You can refer to me as Mike McMahan's granddaughter who lives in Spring Valley, CA.
I think my dad knew Doug Means. I will look again at joining...this weekend. I sure appreciate your response for now.
*Her dad did indeed meet Doug Means at my Viva Baja #3 party, in 2002.
EDIT:
To reduce the cluttering of this thread, I have deleted my replies when thet are repeated with quotes posted by others.

Well, this didn't go well, I knew it wouldn't be long before DK got blamed for it. The DK fan club has been surprisingly quiet lately, who else thinks
this post will reinvigorate the base?

Mike McMahan's Map Reproduction
I don't know who you are or what you think you are doing reproducing a copy of my grandfathers map without discussing it with me first. I own the
copyright and you didn't do your homework. I don't know how to use this U2U thing, but I suggest you get me your contact information before you go
any further with this.

Read my edit above, 4th post up from yours bajaguy.
Well, so everyone is happy (I hope), McMahan Granddaughter asked me to send her email address to CortezBlue.
Let's hope this has a happy result!

I apologize. You can certainly understand my surprise that my grandfathers name and map are being used by someone I don't believe I even know. It
certainly had me stirred, as well as the negativity towards David. I hope to be contacted so that this can be resolved.
Currently, this person does not have permission to publish this version of the map. There are still copies of Mike's Map being sold via Baja Travel
Club for anyone who is interested.

Sorry, I couldn't resist sticking the spoon in the pot for a quick stir, I'll try to be better. I hope it goes quietly too......
