==================================

We are sorry to tell you we have lost one of our La Capilla Members in
September.
Bill Grubbs past away on September 24th after a summer of
illness.
Ruby asked me to let you all know, that he was ready to move on and he
had many good memories of the times he spent with us all in the Baja. It was
his favorite place to be.
She is returning this weekend with one of Bill's Sons and will return
his Ashes to the Sea of Cortez, where he wanted to be. She is not sure how
long she will be down this trip, but plans to stay at least through
Thanksgiving. For any one wishing to reach her, the number there is:
011-52-624-141-0610. Her California # is 909-915-4052. Her address is 3734
Pacific #49, Highland, Ca. She also sends her thanks for her good memories
of us all that will help see her through this time.

Wednesday, Nov. 4th, come and enjoy an excellent Mexican Dinner and be entertained with live music for only ten dollars!! Proceeds will help a large group of Catholic teenagers have a field trip to Topolobampo later this year. Many of these kids have not been further than La Paz from their home. The place, Palmas de Cortez, Chacha is also helping, and the time 7:00 PM. There will be door prizes and a good sane fun time for all. Tickets available at my office. I hope to see many of you there! Gracias and thank God for the two misses we had this season.
Have a nice day,

ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT CRIME? Are you alone? I have the solution. No training required, low maintenance and will make intruders think twice before entering your yard.

Found nearly dead at the dump and rescued. Seven year old lab/rottweiler mix. This dog looks totally menacing but is a total lover. She was in my car the other day and I was in a restaurant having lunch and I was watching people make a wide berth around my car and looking at her like she was going to attack them any minute. The dog wasn't doing anything. Just wagging her tail.

This dog is totally mellow, wags her tail all the time, loves walking with you where ever you go, loves riding in the car, loves people. I have taken her to the beach and walked, she has followed my husband to the beach and just lays there while he is casting and follows him in the yard and just lays down and watches while he digs holes and works. Unfortunately she has had several litters and is now badly scarred from the attack that almost killed her at the dump and her looks are fading. The vet estimates about 7 years old. Her beauty is mostly her personality and what cuteness she has left. I do not want to take her back to the dump for fear of her being attacked again. She doesn't deserve that. She listens to commands and doesn't leave the yard even when the gate is open. I have my own dogs that would like to eliminate her so I need to find her a home.

Maybe you know someone with a ranch and a big heart or someone who needs a companion or would like a dog in the yard to discourage a possible break in.

BAJA ONE

a. I am sure many have crossed more than I but here is what I know . We cross at Tecate because we like the drive better. Less hassle and more of a peaceful drive. You will see the office that stamps your FM3 on the right as you cross the border before you get to the booth. There is parking to your right just past the checkpoint hut, and you can walk back up to the office. They have been very nice every time we crossed.
We like to drive hard and make it in two days, so we spend the first night in Guerro Negro at the Malarrimo Motel. They are very reasonable and have a great restaurant.
www.malarrimo.com  Ph 011-52-615-157-0250
If you don't want to drive that far, Baja Cactus in El Rosario has great rates and nice rooms in the new section. Mama Espinosa's next door has good food.
Next stop I know about is in Loreto. The Inn at Loreto bay is pricey at 125.00/night but very very nice. Turn in at the arches just south of town and follow the drive to the right all the way to the end.
I hope this helps, I am sure you will have many more replies.

RECYCLING UPDATE!

We have been working with Brenda and Moises Navarro from Navarros Corp, who have been running a successful recycling program in the San Jose/Los Cabos area, to expand to the East Cape. They are offering to begin the program in Los Barriles on Tuesday, November 24, 2009. The planned pickup will be on every other Tuesday from 10AM to 1PM. We will be choosing a convenient place in town for meeting up with the Navarros truck(s). For information, please visit their website http://navarroscorp.blogspot.com:80/ and we will be getting further clarification on just what sort of recycles they will accept.

At the moment, we need to get an idea of how many people are interesting in making this program a success in our area. There will be a small donation expected to support this effort, somewhere between 50-75 pesos per pickup. The more people participating, the lower the cost. Additional donations are very welcome, and would support the folks who may like to participate, but cannot afford to pay.
If you plan to begin recycling with us on November 24, please send me an email to let me know:
recyclebaja@live.com
Thanks and I hope we can all work together for a cleaner environment and less waste to the landfills!
