David,
I am a Google Earth junky also. I think I actually get airsick at work while I'm flying over Punta Banda or Bahia Concepcion or the coves outside of
La Paz...
Thanks for sharing!

do you know if that is the the area that Crosby referred to as " cuesta de gentil" ?

How often do they update google earth? We have been building a house and can tell that it looks like its about a year since it's been updated...

Yes, that's it... you can see it from the ground from near the San Borja runway... that big clearing south of the mission up in the valley. Harry has
a photo from the top of that grade looking north where the Camino Real is straight as an arrow going to the San Borja airport clearing...
From any of the Google images I post, you can take your mouse and move beyond the image (flyover)..Also zoom out (or in)!
Here you go!

They seem to be constantly updating or providing higher resolution in more and more places... Much of Baja is still not high resolution, sadly... But
where it is, you can see cars on the highway!
I love following trails on the images that I didn't know about, then going there in person! I have also found more than one 'airstrip' in the middle
of nowhere...
