SEARCHING FOR MELCHIOR DIAZ 1541, Baja Bound Article

Baja Nomad members TMW, Frigatebird, fernweh, 4x4abc, PaulW (a week earlier), and I did some searching in the desert hills northwest of San Felipe for a 1541 grave of a Spanish explorer, with the Coronado expedition. This was following our 4WD weekend trip on the 1942 Pole Line Road... featured in last month's Baja Bound newsletter: http://www.bajabound.com/bajaadventures/bajatravel/pole_line...

Enjoy the Melchior Diaz story and our search in three canyons for a "pile of rocks": http://www.bajabound.com/bajaadventures/bajatravel/searching...

El gusto es mio!

You mean the year was 1541!

That's a relief, I was thinking 1541 was the bib number of the latest off road racer to not make it home from the post race party!

Cancel the Facebook search!

Edit; Also, it was an interesting read.
