Didn't know Chuck "Carlos" real well other than to say hello. They were just here in San Juanico over the weekend. How sad.

Will miss him. A Baja aficionado of the first order. I suppose that it may be little comfort to his friends and family, but at least he passed doing what he loved. Could have been so much worse, whether it was a traffic accident on the 405, or wasting from cancer. It's, instead, a viking funeral, of sorts.

Carlos Fiesta... (Chuck Chambers) one super fine man...
I had the pleasure of meeting Carlos Fiesta in 2000 when I was getting my Baja web site going... He was always supportive of my events, attended every Viva Baja party... presented great prizes... just an all around good guy! His web sites are very helpful and full of good data for traveles: http://BajaExpo.com and http://CaboExpo.com His trip around Baja in a panga was a great adventure for him... 9 years ago... and he recently published the book: http://carlosfiesta.com and last year took over the production of the Baja Calendar from Marv Sherrill: Carlos Fiesta's 2011 Baja Mexico Calendar! Some photos of Carlos taken at my 4 Viva Baja events (2000-2003): Oct. 2000... ![]() ![]() May, 2001... ![]() ![]() Feb. 2002... ![]() ![]() ![]() Feb. 2003... ![]()
