David there is a guy that has taken up residence near the summit. He has the usual collection of animals and a beat up truck. I forget which side of
the summit , but my guess its on the east side.
The guy that redid the lock gate grading and placement of the new boulder came from and returned via the road between the LG and the road we used for
the go around for the lock gate. We could plainly see the fresh tracks of his bulldozer. That road heads northerly and my GPS & GE both show it as
a dead end. Anyway, I suspect that is where his ranch base is located?

So -- does anybody think the wash just below the Lock Gate Is Saiz or is it Jamau? That would be the wash Ken and crew drove from the north and
arrived at /near the lock gate.
I do not have a trace on the Enigi map to allow me to make a judgement.

Hi Paul, Google Earth is real handy to get waypoints of points along the road. The area of Basketball Hill is under cloud cover on GE, but clear as a
bell on Bing... pick Bing here: http://www.flashearth.com/
Just move the screen so that the target spot is in the small cross-hair in the center and read the GPS. You have to choose between decimal degrees or
degrees, minutes and seconds. The decimal minutes we typically use will need to be converted from either of the others. You can enter them in the GE
go box and it will convert it, or use one of the map datum converters on the Internet: http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/degrees-minutes-seconds-tofr... or http://www.onlineconversion.com/map_decimaldegrees.htm or http://www.directionsmag.com/site/latlong-converter/

There are many secret runways in Baja... and not all have been ditched by the military!

As Harald showed on the bigger area map, it is southeast from El Sáiz.
I think a lot of confusion comes from the double use of the name 'Jamau'.?
The original Pole Line Road route comes off the summit and is called Portezuelo de Jamau. Several miles south is a different canyon, and arroyo named
Jamau (above the old ranch site of Jamau).

1) Go to http://flashearth.com
2) On the left menu box click Bing Maps
3) Zoom in to where in the world you want to see, or enter a GPS waypoint in the Search box.
OR, just go to Bing Maps: http://bing.com/maps and zoom in. You can pick Bird's Eye or Aerial for two different images of the same place.
