Baja Trip - The Last Frontier Part 4 final


John M and TacoFeliz headed home after we visited with Ralph, and Marian and I poked around the Cataviņa rock piles for a day. We stumbled upon a new-to-us pictograph site under an overhanging rock. Whee! I will break my rule about posting the locations of rock art this time. As in common archaeological practice, I refrain from giving exact location because some friends of friends of friends will mistreat or deface the site. This one time, I will make an exception; are you ready? Leaving San Diego, go south on Highway 1 to Cataviņa area and turn left. Note a rock pile near a green bush, That's it! That's for you, DK! :lol::lol:

Finally, it was time to go home. Hitting El Rosario at camping time, we camped at the famous campground at the Sinahi where a sign exhorts you to keep your pet from chitting on the RV camping ground. There at the same place, we enjoyed a tasty and reasonably priced dinner. On our last day in Baja we opted to take Hwy. 3 from Ensenada to Tecate and it was great! The construction hardly slowed us down as they were using the old pavement wherever they could. No problems crossing the border except the one hour wait in line. Our first stop in the USA was a Burger King! We told Dixie it was Siberia and bought her a double cheeseburger.

P.S. Alan made it back from Cabo. No report on the rug.

Indeed! Neal is a great desert and Baja explorer and he shares his adventures so those who cannot go, can appreciate and enjoy as well as it excites those of us who can go!

Here is the link to Part 1 of this 4 part adventure: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=38215

I have added links to the following parts at the end of the three separate parts so it will be easy to navigate to the next part without searching, should these get separated again!
