Ed Ricketts was a bud of Steinbeck. Steinbeck and Ricketts spent some time together exploring the Sea of Cortez. Steinbeck published a book about this time surprisingly titled the Log from the Sea of Cortez.

I just started reading A Russian Journey - a book Steinbeck wrote after traveling through Russia in 1947 with Robert Capa. The intro of the book mentioned that Log from the Sea of Cortez book. I really like Steinbeck's writing so I will probably have to pick that up at some point. Good writing AND travel? Yup and yup.

Unlike Hemingway, I've always enjoyed Steinbeck. Doc, in Cannery Row, was modeled after Ricketts. I've done a fair bit of travel in Baja, and it was interesting to hit the places mentioned in Steinbeck's book. This was back in the '70's before Baja, especially Cabo, became Norte Americano-ized.
 
Now -- should we take on the "+/- Ratings?"
 
They at least could have left it until the end of the month. How will I know if I hit 2K??

Loved Cannery Row. And in my book club's defense, it was one of their choices! :laughing: They're total hit or miss, obviously.
 
WAIT - IT'S A TRICK!

It's still on the main front page.
