This may well be in Baja, but I'm sure it's a picture of a 'draft' drawing by the ancients - of the famous Nazca Lines drawn in Peru's southern
coastal area!

thebajarunner - 4-28-2004 at 04:01 PM
Looks like the parking lot at Staples.
Go Rockets, Beat LA!!

Hey Gato, I already have one Laker fan in my life (Baja Vida)
Not sure there is room for two....
sometimes I'm not sure there is room for one.

Ok! Go DODGERS!!?? Mexitron - 4-29-2004 at 12:04 PM
Hey David,
I'm thinking the Aguajito area--there's lots of mines in that stretch and the vegetation looks consistent.........
Nope...
David K - 4-29-2004 at 04:25 PM
but your logic is good!
Be sure to come down to the Pyramid Resort Saturday! Any of you lurkers (people who read, but don't post), introduce yourselves.
I will have on MexRay's custom made Matomi Tour 2004 hat (with the Viva Baja flag Ray designed that's seen on my web site).
Lakers?? Dodgers???
thebajarunner - 4-29-2004 at 04:57 PM
Gato, this could be a long hike (or a short one maybe)
Baja Vida also roots for the above, not a good thing on a 2100 mile ride together in a pickup truck.
Maybe I should take you out to Taft Point and the Fissures in Yosemite.
The guidebook sez "use extreme caution with small children and unattended hikers due to the 3000' vertical drops".... just the place to lose a Laker
fan.
Baja Arriba!!

It was a mining area...PabloS - 4-30-2004 at 07:06 AM
Without a GPS we looked for a nearby scenic attraction and got lost so we camped here.
I emailed my guess to Bajanomad
El Desenga?o
______________________________
Thanks DK AND Doug, that weekend we were semi lost for a while trying to find tinajas de Yubay, in the end we found El Desenga?o and wonderfull
wildflowers, a very interesting mining area that calls for more exploration.

PabloS is officially the winner of the calendar... and I'll let David K describe the location upon his return from the Pyramid Resort's Baja Book
Authors event this weekend.

Sorry guys, I didn't see this thread continue with a question to me. I have been pretty busy trying to make some money for the next Baja trip!
The photo was posted by someone who found my geocache (called Viva Baja #2), which I left near Desengano in April 2001 while exploring potential
destinations for Viva Baja Tours, with partner Amo Pescar and son Chris. There are other photos as well at www.geocaching.com (Mexico).
The photo was taken from the hill north of Desengano which was an extensive gold mine operation, with the ore flown out in the 1930's. The 'X' pattern
crossed runways make a great aerial landmark even though they are not landable any longer.
In the photo, the straight lines may have been railroad or cable tram line routes.
