Ejido Sierra Juarez Fiesta - July 10th, 11th &12th

[Crawdaddy 96]

I received the below e-mail this morning.......I won't be able to attend but I'm all for promoting events down in Baja/strengthening relations with Baja residents (which is why I joined Racers and Ranchers).......we ran into some less than friendly messages on signs along open trails and came across some gates with "locks/no trespassing signs" that were simply "latched" in the past when we rode in that same area this past weekend……hopefully the Racers and Ranchers movement will be successful in promoting better relations between land owners and the off road community….
