Harald, can you give us some more data... like what time period in history and what is the event or activity... is 'Piter' a German or other spelling
of Peter?

I have been spending a bit of time in and around Bahia Tortugas lately....and would like to learn a bit more about the community/area.
Yes, Piter, is another way of spelling "Peter".....
The general area of the "tip of the horn"offers a lot of varied terrain and exploring. Another mystery for me is why do most folks (visitors) claim to
feel an unwelcoming/unfriendly vibe when in Tortugas? I have tried to find a redeeming feature of the town....and it seems to be in the terrain more
than the acceptance of outsiders.
Ahhhh, the mysteries of Bahia Tortugas.....maybe Piter knows
I will be testing the impression some more over the next few weeks.....Punta Quebrada was WAY more welcoming....lobster in exchange for "plastics"
lures...
Don't believe everything you think....

Ged, did you hear a mariachi version of Dueling Banjos?

the letters PITER appear in the hills behind Bahia Tortugas (Cerro de la Cruz)
one of the many spots where people felt compelled to write something on a mountain side - a geoglyph of sorts
Baja has about 50 of them
largest one are the 2 whales south of the Bahia San Ignacio airstrip

No banjo mariachis, Gary.....I did not know that was your kind of music
Quebrada = ravine
Quebrado = broken
All my map/research calls it Quebrada....which makes sense since it is a large ravine ....
Harald: I dunno
Don't believe everything you think....

Typically, the Baja Almanac uses Mexican Government Topos, but they have mistakes!??

Harald,
I wasn't sure if you were referring to names/words on a map or what.... it seems your google -earthing as shown you some interesting stuff....that
"bird" is so well done....AMAZING effort by the builders....great art.
Alien signpost?

If only we had access to the X-files....the truth is out there!

Speaking of X-files... have you been watching the new show, Project Bluebook? Starring Little Finger from Game of Thrones, it is very good!
