"Encourage this kind of graffiti. Baja Sands are soooo much more fun to write on..
Just as Baja Waters are soooo much more fun to float on...
...or merely kick back and enjoy the Baja Views...it's ALL good....if it's Baja."

Hah...I've seen that photo a few times, before, amigo.
But this one below I took myself a few years ago just off Pta. Conception. This shark followed my hooked pinto right up to the boat, which kind of
surprised me when it appeared out of the depths. Felipa did manage a nice scream when she leaned over to see it.
Hey, I wondered why she became less interested in boating? Between a tornado on Lake of the Woods coming fast across the lake at us...and this shark
in Baja...who can blame her?
That shark hung around while I dangled that lure up and down to get it's attention and interest. Of course, that was stoopid...and I'm glad
it never decided to take the lure.
That the Cortez for you...never boring!

San Lucas Cove -San Bruno - San Marcos Island (a bit north of Mulege)
One of my best-spent days just being lazy on the shores of San Bruno inshore of San Marcos. These kids were having the
time of their young lives...me, too.
Mi amigo..a photograper & whale and dolfin fan... who has a special place near San Lucas Cove sent me these close-ups of a huge member of the
porpoise family, the Dall's porpoise.
A delightful cave on San Marcos Island...great gunkhoing and spelunker's anchorage. A magical place..like all of Baja.
This is from the early '70s..'Blackjack' and a few us took a tour of San Marcos village, visiting a young Catholic priest on his 'mission', plus
looked over the gypsum mine and operation. Go visit right after you spot large plumes reaching skywards.....if you like white dust. 
San Marcos..actually in the 'burbs' of north-end San Marcos.
A favorite long-ago photo (1973) of seal Moms on top, diving into the Cortez, while Juniors stay cuddled below.
Back in the day, we often competed with those divers...and we did okay!
Still one of my favorite fishing destinations...chugging out of Mulege.
(Opps...I meant 'running', not 'chugging'...sorry, Miguel.)
What will you catch at San Marcos? Anthing you want..given the season you're there.
Hey, it's ALL fun! How about a nice red snapper for all your dinner guests....hmm?

Udo, I'm what you might call "challenged" when it comes to posting pictures etc. Will check with my technical support crew and see if they'll do
it.

Baja's Fire, Smoke, RAIN ...and an asteroid or two...
This Year’s Weather Has Been…..Shall We Say…’UNUSUAL’…
I'm in San Diego, but just put one leg over the fence into Baja, so this is within the forums guidelines, no? Anyway, it's mostly about Baja, so no
sweato.
"THE RAINS OF SAN DIEGO AND BAJA NORTE"
San Diego's I-8 W near stadium. 5:00 p.m. enroute to Chevy's Fresh Mex café for some Drunken Shrimp.
Heavy rains started in the early morning and it has not really stopped since. My RV rain gauge measured over 1 inch since 5 am Friday...near the
coast.
There is some SNOW in the higher elevations…up around 4000ft. Pine Valley, etc. but, as usual, won’t last too long. San Diego does not know
snow….like Lake of the Woods does.
I drove from Oceanside down to Coronado to La Mesa and back to Shelter Island…all the time in hard rains and wind. I felt some very strong
gusts….radio reporting 55mph gusts…I believe that to be accurate. Radio also says that today, Saturday, is supposed to partly- sunny, (actually said
partly-cloudy, but I prefer this definition) and temps of 50-60 F, which is fine with me.
Parking lot at Chevys looking at rainclouds…a slight lull, then another downpour.
Saw lots of low spots flooded…ramps, exits, etc..like this one at Ward Rd, the SD SignOn paper said.
Rain is always welcome to a arid, parched land....except as 30ft walls of flash-flooding....remember Juan and Jimema?
.
HURRICANE FLASHBACKS!
.
We hope all future storms are like ‘Norberto, The Storm That Wasn’t.’ These photos below are from my 2008 Road Trip from SD to Mulege during
Norberto.
I camped here for a short time…until that pond grew into a LAKE.
Pepsi driver is going for it and became my trailblazer for livestock and any other road hazards. I followed his taillights for safety’s-sake.
Driving on down Baja with a good soaker and the cactus for company..…hmm…they gave me an idea….how about some asparagus spears with steak tonight?
This place looks vaguely familiar.. Probably because I’ve driven past it a zillion times, eh?
After a long, but uneventful drive in the rain, I arrive home to Coyote Bay…to more drizzling from Norberto.
Norberto peters out at the casa in Coyote Bay….One last Poof! ….and he was history.
With that, I say…This could be…The End.…but I doubt it.
Why?... because I still have 14,582 photos left in my ‘un-posted’ category.
..and you thought/hoped I had run out, right?
