Hey DK-
I see you included Las Animas but failed to mention Pancho and Playa San Rafael. We need to have a Nomad gathering there some time soon.

Yes, in fact my kids and I had dinner at Pancho's following one of my Lost Mission Hunts... He fixed Christopher and I fish tacos and made chicken
tacos for Sarah! What a great guy!!!
Me and Pancho in the middle... the Viva Baja sticker went on his truck...

Pancho is my guru.
My friend got stung by a scorpion fish while camping at Bahia San Rafael. My friends hand swelled up to twice its normal size. Pancho thought it was
very funny and kept slapping my buddies sore hand and laughing (in between tequila shots).

The jail is almost all that is left of a booming gold and silver processing town... at the end of a railroad line that brought the ore down from the
top of the mountain at San Juan, via cable tram buckets. The museum has an excellent sample of the works...

Here's perhaps a bigger version of the map... the stars are indicating the locations of the San Juan mines and the Las Flores town where the ore was
processed. 'El Terminal' between the two stars is the south end of the railroad line from Las Flores. Ore came 4,000' down the side of the mountain
(in 'Terminal Canyon') using the cable tram from another railroad that brought the ore from San Juan to the top of the ridge... Quite the operation!!
Here's Sarah on the railroad line near the terminal...

The train engine when it was still at Las Flores... now in the L.A. Bay town plaza. In the plaza, behind the engine is a ore cart from the other
railroad at the top of the mountain... Note it is of a different gauge than the engine!

It was a lot of fun when all us Amigos/ Nomads explored the area as a group! On this page you, Bedman & Emma, Sarah and I went to Montevideao
after a tour of Mision San Borja: http://vivabaja.com/402/page8.html
Here's the photos from Bedman's camera, same trip: http://vivabaja.com/bedman2/page7.html
After we arrived at Gecko (Apr. 2002) and set up camp, you and Paulina arrived by quad... one of my favorite pics of you both!:
