BajaKeela,
What a beautiful part of the world you live in! We spent a day on the MV Lady Rose cruising from Port Alberni to Ucluelet and back one summer. The
Lady Rose is a small cargo ship that transports mail, supplies, a few tourists like us and kayaks too.
Enjoy your summer up there!

I've always thought that's such a strange name for a city. It translate to "carpentry", right? How did that name come about? Is it next to Pottery,
CA.? Enquiring minds want to know.

So how do you feel about Manteca, CA? |
Back in the days when the sugar beet plants were in operation.the standing joke was if you wanted to kiss your girl where it stank. Take her to
Manteca.

Seems to me that you would be in Gadsden or San Luis, Arizona.
Either would qualify as south of Mexico and California.

????????? Not possible. No part of the US is "due south" of Mexico and CA. You may be "south" but not "due south", as near as I can figure.

I graduated Arizona Western College and lived in Yuma for several years. We "shopped" for cantaloupe around Gadsden when the melons rolled off the
trailer trains as they made the section corners down there. Most corners were littered with fresh free melons! Ah to be a starving student again.
Miami David? Yeah I got it.

while it is due South, Gadsden hardly qualifies as a "city". Somerton almost makes it but not quite. San Luis, AZ is the correct answer.

Los Barriles has been my primary home since 1989. The last 7 summers I head South to the mainland June to October more or less. I haven't been North
of the boarder more than a total of 4 weeks since I moved back home to Baja. I may go North of the boarder for a visit someday, but I don't seem to
be in any hurry to do so.

"Close by" is correct. San Luis is in Yuma County, about 25 miles Southwest of Yuma City. I often refer to here as "Yuma" because few people have
ever heard of San Luis.
BTW, Yuma has now passed it's number one status. Unemployment is now at 30%.
Also, I may not live in Baja but I can see it from my backyard (also Sonora and California)
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

Wow, Vag, that is impressive!!! I was not aware that Mt. Shasta blew her top. 
She has got to be one of the most beautiful mountains in the world!!!
Thanks for the great time-laspe video.
