Good stuff. Tell us more about that stretch sometime, will you? I've seen some discussion of the beach, and it souns pretty wild and wooly, but just the modicum of geography that you mention is more than I was aware of.

I like the Malarrimo Beach page. On my first exploration of Baja in 1998, I got to Malarimmo from the west along the cliff tops.

I spent the entire afternoon casting back and forth to find the road (these were the days when I trusted the BM totally and without doubt).

Finally I said the hell with it and motored about 5 miles further up the arroyo (knowing I was going to die), and found the road where it had always left the arroyo - beautiful and wide and waiting.

Stuart - read your email!


Hi Rob, we have emailed each other before... and after meeting a carpenter today who surfed at your place recently I relized who you were, here on Nomad! How about sharing your web site link, or add it in a signature with your posts? Welcome to Baja Nomad!!!

maps and mistakes


As a geographer who has looked at a zillion maps, it is rare to find an atlas or map that doesn't have mistakes. I can show you a lot of topo maps of the Trinity Alps, Siskiyou Mts, with mistakes galore, and that is by a premier mapping outfit - USGS. I just write notes in my Baja Almanac and laugh at the mistakes that have puzzled me. All part of the Baja fun, and wimps that we are in the 21st Century with GPS's and all, remember all those early Baja trailblazers that did it with far less in maps than the Baja Almanac. Personally, I love the Almanac.
