Interesting old blog with some nice pictures of some of the old iconic spots.

Great link! Shows a lot of Baja that I remember going to by land... The transpeninsular highway construction was a big interest item for me. The photo of it from 1972 looks to be between San Ignacio and Vizcaino (well, where Vizcaino is now... as that town really didn't exist before the highway, same with CataviƱa).

Those 1988 pics of Rancho Buena Vista must've been before the August hurricane that leveled those palm trees and filled their pool with sand. Nice to see things as I remember them from my early Baja years.
