A friend had his 37 year old slides converted to a disc. These were from a 3 week Baja trip. I had totally forgot about these. I was 20 at the time. Blink . Laughing Doesn't seem like 37 years ago

How's that right in the background ?

I wish it was as easy to disappear for a few weeks now as it was then.

The guy flipping the pancake looks really familiar to me.

Looks like a cool trip. Baja is definitely on the bucket list. So far the only OCONUS trip I've done is Puerto Rico. It was a blast. Thanks for sharing.

OCONUS...... I tried for awhile but finally gave up and had to GTS. "Outside the Continental United States" Got it.
Would love to check out Puerto Rico some day.

motogeezer might be right, the syrup and cervezas probably didn't help either

I saw you guys finally got rid of that whale. How's the shark situation right now?

They buried it, so no attraction for the sharks.

Sunset Beach will probably be pretty stinky for a few years, though.

Most of it was hauled away in trucks. Must be a sale on Sushi somewhere haha. We saw some state park workers bury a big pile of guts right by the stairs at state park. There were bits of blubber and chunks of whale skin all over dogpatch, our dog was in heaven. A day later a lot of it was gone ? I think the birds took care of a lot of the little pieces.

Sorry to derail this thread with the whole whale thing, but nice pics. Maybe I can help get it back on track with some surf trip pics. Here's a couple from PR.

Mushy day at Surfers Beach


The rental


The old Coast Guard Light House


Me with my rental board. The airline wanted $150 per board each way. Not happening
