Teaming Baja

Baja California is teaming with activity. From the beaches to the mountains, Baja is all beautiful desert, teaming with life and color.  And people too, of course.  From the Baja 1000 race teams to the small teams of people working together in Internet  cafes and what are unmistakably "nodes".  As in the Node101 variety.

There was also an Outhink team exploring both the Pacific and Sea of Cortez sides of the two Mexican states.  Markus and Alicia drove down from Ojai to Loretto, where they met up with Dave, who flew in from San Jose, in (Alta) California, USA.  From there, the Outhinkers drove back up through Mulege, San Ignacio, Guearro Negro, San Quintin and other points north back to Ensenada and then down again to San Fillipe.  After a few days there, we all headed back by way of Mexicali.

We scouted a number of interesting locations and captured a LOT of audio and video. Internet access in Baja is, shall we say, challanging at times. When you do find access, wi-fi may not be available and, it often seems, laptops are NOT always welcome. Lots of great lessons in distributed media production.

Here's a little video mash-up of some of the many clips we captured and now need to archive.  The music is called CooCoo CooCooRoo and was performed by Tito in the town of San Ignacio.

Well sometimes they say we are talking to ourselves. Well if we are we sure are having a good time at it. This really reflects the live teaming nature of so many developing lives and new found energy. Hopefully for the best. Great travels and great ones ahead.
