~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If anyone out there has any old used greeting
cards (Christmas - birthday - get well
- thank you, etc.) I can put them to good use. I don't care if
they are written in - I really need the inside of the cards as
well. Just call me and I will pick them up. Thanks Debbie

**** A FEW MORE COMPUTERS LEFT TO

their way down to Los Barriles from San Diego for the primaria
(elementary school). Many thanks to Torrance Eddy and Mike
Blakemore for bringing some down already!!!! PLEASE take this
opportunity to be a part of something wonderful!! Even if you
don't have a computer to donate, you can be just as terrific to
these kids by helping to bring one down. You CAN make a
difference! Please call or email Janel and David at

laptops and desk tops that you're not using. Thrown them in your
car and bring 'em on down. Don't throw them out or let them
collect dust- we can use them!!****

Lord of the Wind
What started out as a personal rivalry
has turned into the richest purse event for windsurfing,
kiting
and stand up paddle boarding in North America. As the event
founders and owners we, Chris Rogers
and Dan Holbrook were inspired to make this a world class
competition.
The International Lord of the Wind
Showdown is on for its second year. Our mission is to
promote the
sports of windsurfing, kiteboarding and stand up paddling
while showcasing the beautiful town of Los
Barriles, Baja, Mexico. We will share the profits from this
event with the needs of our local school
systems. Our goal is to make this an annual event coveted by
athletes and spectators from all walks
of life.
We are proud to offer media exposure in
print and televised entities. TELEVISA aired a half hour
specials on our 2011 event twice throughout all Mexico.
Justin Wolff Productions has produced a one
hour special which airs 17 times through Comcast Sports
Network. Please see our website for
airtimes. The LOW 2012 media distribution strategy is
specific and targeted bringing in teams of
award winning professional photographers, videographers and
writers. Led by Erin Calmes of Keta
Films, this coverage will include increased TV production
and international print distribution. The
only tri-sport event to be streamed live, Epic Sessions TV
worked their cameras diligently and are
back for 2012 in HD format with live interviews.
We have partnered with the following
magazines which continue to run advertisements and
editorials
in both their print and on line outlets: Kiteworld Magazine
which distributes to kite destinations
across the entire world, Kiteboarding and Windsurfing,
Windsport, and Kitesurfing magazines are
found all across North America, and covering Europe our
advertisements are found in Kitesurf and
Windsurf magazines.
We are offering partnership opportunities
ranging from title sponsorship to a variety of other
donations. Fully detailed sponsorship packets are available
for your review at
www.lordofthewindbaja.com
Thank you,
Chris Rogers and Dan Holbrook, Founders
and owners of Lord of the Wind Showdown
Please help us keep this event going.

DISCUSSIONS EARTHQUAKES
a. .
http://www.oem.com.mx/elsudcaliforniano/notas/n2263949.htm
My translation of the first sentence of the article is: From
Claudia
"In the last 24 hours it has been recorded from 18 to 30
eartquake tremors with epicenter 5-7 km west of Los Barriles,
Baja California Sur, with a radius of 20 km, of which the
population only felt probably 4, of those the strongest was 3.6
grade Richter..."

ROAD REPORTS
a. Road report for highway 1 from TJ to
BV-travel dates Oct 9, 10, &11. Generally, the road conditions
were the best I have seen in a long time. Specifically, the most
important individual location is the worst one. Just a bit South
of Catavina Southbound is a four mile rather rough side road
detour. It is helpful to know when it is only four miles because
you can afford to progress slowly and carefully. I drive an All
wheel drive Jeep Grand Cherokee and drove through this stretch
faster than I should have but I was lucky. I inflicted no damage
on my car. But any low clearance vehicle should be driven very
careful. There are also some suspicious soft dirt/sand areas
that would have caused me concern if I had two wheel drive.
