The two guy's wearing fodora hats in this picture are brothers. The one on the right, giving the 'hang loose' sign is my best friend & the guy you see planting my plants this year.

His brother on the far left is a retired machinest from Area 51. He is living in a motor home out in the desert on his retirement from Lockheed/Martin

He would not talk about what he did there, he said he gave an oath not too. He did say they flew to work every morning from the Las Vegas airport. And that there were no aliens or spacecraft there. Everything was very much man made & very high tech.

Hey tree man, I think it was Art Bell. The guy made a fortune selling supplies for the end of the world millennium computer shutdown and retired. I was working grave shift at a ski resort In Tahoe for the few years leading up to 2000 and could get him on 4 different stations on top of the mountain. Listen to that stuff long enough and you start to drink the coolaid.

Art Bell was the guys name. He gave me the"heebie geebie's" more than once. I need to start listening to him again.....lol
TMB-
No koolaid for me!

Here's a couple mo pictures of 'Mo' the alien lobster. He looked like something from Jurasic Park! Look how big he is compaired to a regular sized lobster

Good lord! BUTTER/GARLIC NOW!!!!!!!

Did you catch him in a trap, or by hand?
I can't imagine catching him by hand, everything underwater looks a lot bigger. He must have been good to eat!
TMB-

Get the French Toast! That thing is huge!

I would cover that thing in butter with a 5 to 1 ratio...
That thing is massive, got to love nature's table...

My camper could carry 2 kayak's. A single & a tandem. We could launch anywhere.

My buddy decided he was gonna go catch lobster for all 9 of us. He comes back after a couple of hrs with one small lobster. The local's told us that the best fishing was over on the other side of the point we were camped beside.

So we thru the kayaks into the back of my pick-up & 4 wheeled it over the top to the other side. We had the beach all to ourselves, the fishing was great & within 30min he was back in the kayak with 'Mo'.

Caught by hand (well 2 hands actually) said it was a real battle all the way up to the surface. Mo was not happy!

Mo became lobster tacos for 9 + the legs had enough in them for lobster omlet's for breakfast.

He also found several large abalone.

We were beachcombing one afternoon at low tide & came across a tide pool full of lobsters! There were 100's of them. With every wave that would wash in, one or 2 lobsters would make a break for the ocean. The last 3 pic's of our Shar Pei's (Zen & Ursa) catching their own lobsters!

Any pics with dogs in them are always my favorite. Yours are so cute. It seems that you love your breed like I love the Boxer breed.

I would love to travel the beaches of Baja again but the criminal element has taken that from Americans. Such a shame cause the locals depended on us for the tourist dollars and once you got off the beaten path you could see the real Baja. Scallops eaten fresh with a little lime and cilantro, 5 bucks for a plastic bag almost full. Starting to drool, guess I'll have to pull out the abalone you gave me, kid brought another over were planning to have them tomorrow with some fish. Thanks again JJ...
For Fumble, this is Zoey one of our five heelers.

As a teenaged kid, our familys favorate place to go for Thanksgiving was San Felipe, Baja Ca, on the Sea of Cortez. We would camp out on the beach, eat like a king, 25cent tacos, unless shrimp tacos, they were 50cents. Our Thanksgiving meals was shrimp made 4or5 different ways. Dad would buy the JUMBO shrimp for $10 for 2 kilos right off the boat. Then mom and the sister would cook'm up right! Now my mouth is watering. Those were the days!
TMB-

Yeah, those were the days. The good old days of traveling Baja.
I wouldn't go back now if you paid me.

We would drive back roads to get to isolated beaches & small fishing villiages. We would spread our money around & they looked after us. They guided us to the best fishing spots. You could rent a panga' for $60 a day & catch 50lb Dorado or 100lb Yellow fin tuna!

Or just laz-it around the beach & fish. The last picture is my favorite pic of our dogs.

Martin Verdugo's !!!!!
Back in the mid Eighties my brother, a good friend and me drove from San Jose, California to Cabo, towing a 14' Zodiac. We camped most of the way and I fell in love (figuratively) with Martin's daughter. They ran a trailer park and campground in Mulege.We fished for tuna, got stoned and ate sushi with the locals. One of the best trips of my life....before I had kids.
Thanks for the 'way-back' JJ.
