We see you are having a luncheon at el balcon on 12/3. Recently my husband left his email address with Marcelino and it was incorrect. It is rsmcafee@sonic.net and he told him .com. Would you be willing to let Marcelino the correct address and tell him the mole was superb!
Thanks in advance…

I just bought a place in South Campos and have been looking to connect with local lesbians. Looks like I may have just found one way. Please add me to this group. Julie aka Otter Spotter.

  Welcome, Julie! Glad to have you joining us!
  This is a bit in advance, however, just an FYI that every year the women in Los Viajeros North and South (in El Dorado Ranch) host a Valentine’s Day Brunch. So, circle that date and plan on coming. There will be more information posted here as time grows closer. Then, in March we have a croquet competition between the two neighborhoods of LVS and LVN. So, there are a couple of events you can count on happening in the north campos area.

LV stands for Los Viajeros (the neighborhoods) in El Dorado Ranch parlance ..but, we have done a play on the initials. For us it stands for “Lesbian Village.” 🙂 LOL

If there is a ripple effect into other communities, so much the better. 🙂 As you said, what we all have in common is our love of this very special place!

If anyone knows of a carpet cleaning service, please post.

Please help us publicize the annual South Campos Art Tour, April 11th. Check out the new San Felipe South Campos Art Tour F/B page for continuously updated info. And — I would love to be an “author” for this site! You can learn more about my admittedly odd interests by reading my weekly column — posted on Tuesdays — in Kat’s Korner.

  We have many followers: straight and LGBT, full-time or part-time on the Baja, and, from around the world. We welcome all of you to follow us on our web site.
  We also sponsor events in the San Felipe area. We believe in providing special space for women. Therefore, at this point in our development, these events are open to LBT and straight women. I hope this answers your question.

  If you are looking for activities in which you and your husband may participate together, there are a multitude in the San Felipe area that cater to straight couples. Las Hermanas, as the name implies–“The Sisters”–is for women only. And, we might add, our group is almost entirely women-identified women. We have created this organization because there are so few spaces in this world that are specifically for lesbians. Although we cover a wide variety of subjects on our web site, Las Hermanas events are by, for, and about women.

Hello all,
I’ve been living in the South Campos for several years now. I’m so pleased to see there are other gay/lesbian in my area! I would love to hear about any outings, weather it be fishing, grabbing a beer or community service (basically anything) It does get a little lonely in the summer time!
I hope to hear from you soon
Jet

  Hey Jet, nice to meet you. My name is Cal and I moderate this web site. Sorry you’ve not made contact with anyone in the area. We are here, believe it or not!! Most of us seem to be in the north campos (El Dorado Ranch) mostly…but, not exclusively. A great many of us are snowbirds. Thus, not on the Baja in the summer. Are you on Facebook? If so, I will post a note on Baja Sisters Page and Hermanas del Desierto group and ask them to private message you or respond to you here on this website. All else fails….most of us snowbirds begin arriving in October or so….. Also, note that we have a gathering on Valentine’s Day (I know…a long way off) at El Dorado. We announce it here…with instructions. You are invited. But, having said all of that…I will post your notice on Facebook and see what develops. PS Which campo are you in?

    Thanks for the reply! Yes, I do have Facebook, Jet Clark. I am in El Vergel that is at K35. I do travel back and forth from San Diego, but the majority of my time is spent here in Baja. It would be great to meet a few folks in Mexico. I’ll still be here in October 🙂 I haven’t had a Valentine in some time, but if it’s open to singles I’d love to come and meet y’all.

    I walk down your way on the beach in the morning… I have a Boston terrier but usually have 4 or more camp dogs tagging along. I would say call me on the radio, but I never turn mine on… I’d love to meet up sometime.

Jet, friend me on Facebook. Julie Fronzto. The camp dogs from La Roca can be a problem when I run my dog with my quad. We head that way (and past) most evenings. Let’s connect!
