Yes, west of Escondido, drive up past the power substation. I was up there yesterday with my son-in-law. Nice place to go when the wind is howling on
the beaches. How far up you go depends on your climbing skills.

Thank you for the memory
I believe the large pool in the back in the last photo is as far as we were able to get. That canyon is a great way to escape the heat on a hot day at
Tripui.

Why is it called Tabor? Does it have anything to do with Ed Tabor who had the Flying Sportsmens Lodge in Loreto?

That's what I was wondering...
Ed Tabor made Loreto a fisherman's destination!
The cover of Ray Cannon's 'Sea of Cortez' is sunrise in front of the Flying Sportsman Lodge.
My dad had great things to say about Tabor in the 60's... I think he flew in Ed's plane at least twice to Loreto... AeroMexico shut him down some
years later...

I've wondered what became of him. I've wondered what became of his daughter, Nancy, as well.
The lodge was great for everything. Not much around there in those days. I remember the meat market in town would close up whenever he got a report
of road-kill. All that was about the same time that crock pots were put on the market in the states. One of the best things to happen for Mexico.
If you cooked a shoe or a piece of Baja beef long enough, it was edible.

Yup, he also was the first to open Magdalena Bay up with his San Carlos Resort... Without the ability to fly his clients from Loreto over to Mag Bay,
that killed his dreams of offering two types of fishing on the same trip.

Didn't Ed die in a plane wreck some years back?
My buddy flew twins for Ed in the 60s. Aztecs mainly.

Those photos are so great! Water and Rock.
We had a great time in this pool on a hot day. This is a welcome treat every hot summer day...up the valley from Mulege to Rancho Trinadad..then to
the caves.
We used to go there in the days when all that was required was to get the ranch gate key from charming Cuca, the original owner of Las Casitas in
Mulege. Nowadays, of course, you must have a guide.

Believe Ed had (and flew) a DC-3 between the U.S. and Loreto before AeroMexico had the government pull his permit or whatever.

don't know about a DC 3 but doubt it for his operation, took costly to run unless full seats each trip.
He ran mostly Beech 18s. When Johnny Tequila was the bartender/pilot.

Mike, Ed Tabor ran an airline on the east coast before his Baja days and he owned several DC-3s, a PBY, and even a B-25 which he sold to the makers of
the film 'Catch 22' (filmed near Guaymas)... My dad told me about riding on Ed's DC-3, but the details above and the photo below are from Gene Kira's
excellent book 'The Unforgettable Sea of Cortez' in the chapter 'Airline for Loreto', pg. 145. Gene's book is a must buy for Baja enthusiasts http://www.mexfish.com/apgs/ufsc/ufsc.htm

Tabor had at least one other daughter, Nancy, maybe from a previous marriage. She had to have born around early fifties????

I took a look in Kira's book and couldn't find any reference to her, sorry Dennis.
