Baja destroys everything.

here´s the man in the van´s 38 year old left foot. A bloody mess. Although this dog here is a mess too. Mack called him A little too long and a littl too short. and how. poor poor animal.

The necklace




I sort of misplaced the end of this tale. I´ll find it soon and post it. funny thing is the neclace that I`m wearing in this video was also made by Christina...maybe as a replacement of the neclace that I lost. Another note is that this all took place in the original Poncho, the 1982 Datsun 200sx, that took me many places and was the car I wanted to drive to Mexico in the first place...so it all came full circle. This disaster almost killed that car and it could be said that it was the beginning of the end for the brake system and such since...well, watch the video.



Part 2

Palapa Town

This is a little spot for the man in the van. the palm tree leaf shade structure is called a Palapa. That is where I live. It is on the west side of Todos Santos. Near a nicer internet cafe and papeleria. and near a shrimp taco place.
Lucha libre pictures to come!

man in flight



this dude showed up one day with a rig like Rambo. unbelievable. we speculated that he´s ex special ops. bad ass. he paddle boarded out and road waves like laird hamilton. then a giagantic wave took his ten foot board and slammed it into his jaw.

It felt like getting hit very hard in the face with a brick, he said.

for most of that would be an analogy. for this dude I guarantee it was a direct comparison from experience.

the blow would have killed a chump like me. he shook it off and went kite gliding. I don´t know if you can see the satelite dish he uses to post his locations so when he eventually disappears like steve fossett they will know where to find his body.
he could probably kick chuck norris´s ass. the dude can beat you by land, by sea and by air...in the middle of the fucking desert!
I should mention that he showed an hour long slide show of his airial photography. and we watched a surf movie called the stylemasters on the beach with the ocean 100 ft behind us. 4 miles from a power source. and if he wanted he could fly away and land on a whale.
check out his website...
