Be specific (place has two names, either is acceptable)...
Photos have appeared on Nomad and are in my web site.
Many Nomads where there a couple years ago (you guys hold back your answers)...
Here is the newest photo taken this year at the bottom... below is the one taken showing a friend there in 1978...
Here's GeoRock describing what we are looking at...

Wait.... can I change my answer? The igneous intrusion place?bajaandy - 5-18-2006 at 01:13 PM
The fault scarp uplift place?
The place with all the rocks?

Specifically - just a little west of the east edge of the southernmost north rim...or thereabouts.

Have a place here at the Juncalito overlook that looks just like itDavid K - 5-19-2006 at 08:37 AM
You guys are funny!
Thanks for playing!
Hint #1
The place is in Baja California NorteDavid K - 5-19-2006 at 10:13 AM
Hint #2... The name is of a canyon or pass that crosses a small mountain range. The geologic formation is about midway through this canyon/pass.
so that would suggest...

----this is strickly a guess (actually 2 guesses)----------is it along the Matomi Canyon, like in the narrows?? or in Canada el Parral where it
crosses the Sierra San Felipe??
It looks vaguely familiar, but I cannot specifically place it.

I give upDavid K - 5-19-2006 at 07:01 PM
Ca?ada el Parral or Azufre Pass are the answers... Good guess Barry!Bob H - 5-19-2006 at 07:54 PM
I remember it well. Georock explained how these formations occurred. Very interesting... and on the way to Matomi falls!

Actually I knew that.
It just doesn't rhyme with 'elementary' very well.

or, known locally as "Crazy Horse", as named by Bruce Barber
Crazy Horse?????
Barry A. - 5-22-2006 at 09:26 PM
-------now there HAS to be a story behind that--------------care to share????? bajalou - 5-22-2006 at 09:34 PM
Think that in the early 90's he was going thru the canyon with some friends in buggies and saw a wild horse running off to the side of canyon in the
direction they were going. So instead of "Wild Horse", he called it "Crazy Horse". Name them for something that got our attention. Like finding
a skul in a small canyon and calling it "Ram's Head"David K - 5-22-2006 at 10:22 PM
Barry, you will really enjoy Bruce Barber's book... It has a ton of details on the San Felipe Desert, Valle Chico, and many canyons, plus Bruce's
search for the Lost Diaz Grave made famous by Choral Pepper... Ordering detail are in my Baja Notebook (link at the bottom of my posts).Skipjack Joe - 5-23-2006 at 09:45 AM
