Matomí Falls A Baja Quest (Baja Bound March 2016)


An article about my quest to find the famous waterfall of Matomí:

https://www.bajabound.com/bajaadventures/bajatravel/matomi_f...

After the first trip to Matomí Canyon in 1978, and getting to the falls in 1979, I returned several more times over the years. The following are some trip pages on the last three visits:

Matomí Trip web pages:

More photos from the camera of elgatoloco and Baja Barb who joined me on a 2001 President's Day weekend Amigos de Baja group trip there: http://www.vivabaja.com/elgatoloco/

Amo Pescar's 2001 photos: http://www.vivabaja.com/amo

My pics from 2001: http://www.vivabaja.com/matomi/

In 2004, President's Day weekend, we have the second Matomí group trip, only now we are Baja Nomads! The Matomí day trip pics begin here: http://www.vivabaja.com/204/page5.html

In 2006, I took Baja Angel to Matomí, coming up from Hwy. 5 this time: http://vivabaja.com/618/page4.html

Thank you amigos!
Yes, I write about the past... it is something that really happened and in this case, to me.
Not everyone is into history, but when you combine it with off roading and Baja, how can you not be? LOL!

Great article David, I loved it. I really admire the fact that you get down there and explore the most remote areas.

Bravo.

Thank you Enrique!
Sadly, between the economy and old age, my Baja adventures are getting fewer...

Read my other Baja Travel Adventure stories, on Baja Bound: https://www.bajabound.com/bajaadventures/bajatravel/

This is pretty funny. DK posts something (doesn't matter what) and chucky jumps in with an insult but has to "delete and run" because the rest of the bash DK losers didn't jump in with him but now that he has some back up he tries to get back in to the fray with some desperate attempt at insults to try to be relevant in the bash DK loser group. You guys really crack me up, thanks for the good laugh at your expense.

You guys are boring. If you don't like DK don't read his stuff. All the same BS chewed up and regurgitated over and over again. At least goat is entertaining.

It's kinda like watching a trump rally around here sometimes. Don't know how Doug can put up with it. This place needs more pictures and trip reports not opinions or a show of hand sizes!
