Liz and I recently published our new mystery on Kindle Books. It's about a deadly secret that's uncovered when a Mormon--very much like Mitt Romney--begins a race for political office. We're hoping some of you will read and review it! It's only 99 cents.

About this blog...
I'm a retired professional photographer, age 68. I love the desert and the wonderful cacti.
My first visit to Baja was almost to Catavina, in 1962, before the road was built.
My second trip, in late 2008, was to Bahia de los Angeles for kayaking (2008).
My third (2010) was all the way to Cabo from Wisconsin, and back. This journal is an account of my March 2010 trip.
My fourth (2012) was again all the way to the tip, including Carnival in La Paz, good kayaking, and an extended stay at Playa Tecolote near La Paz.
I share the Casita trailer with my partner Liz--but she still works, so doesn't come with me to Baja.
