Sept. 2016 Baja Bound Article: Pozo Alemán
https://www.bajabound.com/bajaadventures/bajatravel/pozo_ale...
Previously visited the site in 2012, it was great to go back again last week and see nothing has changed and one may still have a true walking museum
tour in central Baja!
Here are the photos I took last Monday:

That is such a neat place with so much history. The last time I was there , there were aboout 8 old car and truck bodies from the 20's and 30's still
there. Also there was at least one dry gold catcher (for want of a better word) still in one of the old structures. Did you happen to notice the old
pila next to the big house? That is one of the best examples of stone work I have ever seen in Baja. It had a date onit of 1920.
Off grid, 12-190 watt evergreen solar panels on solar trackers, 2-3648 stacked Outback inverters, 610ah LiFePo4 48v battery bank, FM 60 and MX60

Yes, and some in the group went over there by the big home. Nobody was there that day. Jesse wanted to check out the big horno (oven) outside... maybe
for making pizza?

Dry washer that what it was. Not there anymore. I saw one my first trip there 15 years ago but my last trip there it was gone. That's probably why the
owners have locked up all the remaining structures. I would love to see the inside of the large house, I bet there are all kinds neat things in there.

If I may make a suggestion...The photos in the article from before you were born should have a citation.

The source for the 116-year-old photos I shared was a 1992 book and it did not have the name of the photographer of the 1910 photos.

THen you put source unknown.. There are a lot of citation guides for people writing papers. Here is one... http://www.bibme.org/citation-guide/mla/

I have no way of knowing since no cite was given even to the book you took the photo from... and no....you can not do what ever you like...there are
copyright laws... or at the vary least a lot of embarrassment if plagiarism is involved.

government says needs to know about the past.
You reply to my posts because of your need for the drama. I respond for others, but talking sense or being nice to you is fruitless.

Thank you, Blanca! |
I was being nice....how did you get that I wasn't? Baja is not a secret nor has it been for a long time...I just thought if you are going to have
articles published in news letters or any other forum that other peoples work should be properly cited so that they get credit/or people know where
to go to dig deeper into the photo (so it is not a secret) or that it is not improperly credited to the author. I do not see where that does not
make sense or is drama....drama or not making sense is a statement like "When you write something about Baja's coloful history, you may do whatever
you like. "

Ralph, I always do credit other people's photos... if it is known who took them. In my book, Baja California Land of Missions, there are hundreds of
photos, and only one taken in 1918 or 1919 I didn't have a name to credit. Sunbelt, a historical book publisher, had no issue over that one photo.

Have you heard the saying: "Don't talk the talk unless you walk the walk"?

I was being nice....
No you weren't, Your hatred for DK has been shining thru your posts for years.
Show a little bit of self control, and some of us might take you seriously

My life is just fine DT.
Dan, I have no hatred for David...He does make it easy to negatively comment on his posts some times and not just by me. His banter makes it easy
to continue the game...But that is DK and yes its been that way for years. In this case, excuse me, if pointing out that a published article
should properly credit a photo is wrong, well that's NOMADS and as the King says, anything goes. And somehow, I do not worry if you take me
seriously or not...I don't know you and based on some of your comments probably don't care to.
Now if the run to protect David is over, back to NOMINDS.

I think DK should insert citations when he repeats photos or info from others. He professes to be a historian/researcher, so he should try to do
better.

Cite the source you got. Or better yet, don't use material if you can't find/verify original source.
