From the author: This account of stories that occur during the author's years from five to sixty-five are given to serve as a glass through which the reader can see the more complete picture of these happenings in his life. We all face challenges and need to make decisions big and small that change our direction. I was like a boat on the water riding life's waves and facing into or turning away from the weather. Sometimes, it was easygoing, and sometimes, it tried to change my direction. Sometimes, it was exciting and fun, and sometimes, it dashed me on the rocks. I hope, in sharing some of these events and happenings, the reader will more easily than I did see the very real ways that my hero was watching over me. He was always there from the beginning to now even though I didn't realize it at the time.

The stories featured in Baja California Adventures take place during a span of almost sixty years of travel in the rugged, parched, yet hauntingly attractive peninsula. The author kept detailed notes on most of his trips then fleshed out this skeleton in a narrative that places the reader in the role of participant in the adventure. Thus, one feels the bite of the 4WD tires into the desert sand, newly hard-packed by the moisture of a quick-moving thunderstorm. The author describes the excitement of finding Indian petroglyphs, arrowheads, or clay ollas in remote canyons. Because Mr. Tiscareo is also a pilot, many of the trips included here involve mention of the special immigration rules for private fly-in tourists. Finally, there are Baja adventures in the pine-clad granite fortress that is the Sierra de San Pedro Mrtir in the northern part of the peninsula. Here, the author joined other veteran Bajeos in hoof-and-boot or horse-assisted explorations. In short, this book should be inspiration to those readers who want to visit Baja California, particularly the less tourist-trod destinations. Armchair travelers will derive vicarious pleasure without the effort of going there themselves.
