Just a big thanks to Ron for taking time out of his busy busy life to come and get me in San Quintin and take me out to his place to show me around. I have been watching it take shape since the beginning but had yet to see it in person and man oh man...it's IS FANTASTIC and so wonderful to see his dream become a reality...what an acheivement!

and thanks for hanging out with me and treating me to dinner amigo...it was a pleasure to catch up with you finally and as always you are a true inspiration to me!!! We look forward to you visiting us now!

Thanks Shari - it was great to spend some time with you too! After seeing all that you and Juan have accomplished down there in your neck of the peninsula I consider your kind words a big compliment. It is a work in progress but hopefully we can wrap all this up by sometime this summer.

Really looking forward to coming down and spend some time there with you guys this fall...

Just have to say that none of those photos resemble Baja Gringo's avatar. Never met him so I was just curious...

Good point... Even Baja Gringo doesn't! LOL

I met Baja Gringo a few years after that trip that Bob H and I were on. It was at the Mike Younghusband power point presentation of Mike's walk down Baja with Don-Kay the burro...

Here is when I took Baja Gringo's photo (May, 2011)... with Nomad member 'TW':
