A few pics to illustrate all the SPOT postings. Didn't hear another human voice in two-and-a-half weeks. Was a great time to be there... too cool for rattlers and bugs. Could sit out and enjoy stars and campfires. So many ospreys, endemic chuckwallas and collared lizards. Some warm, sunny days... gray and raining for a couple of days. Fascinating canyon hikes with pools and palms. Awesome bioluminescence and amazing "orange" tides.

Just a note... Graham has been back on the island the past week.
Mother of Dragons mentioned it. Last night he emailed me (using his Spot X) for a weather report from: https://www.windfinder.com/forecast/bahia-de-los-angeles
