Looking for any photos (aerial or ground) of Rancho Santa Ynez (SIN) airstrip.

Anyone stayed there recently? Hotel open?

Thanks!

This is Fred and Josefina from many years ago!

I will take old ones and new ones.

COOL steekers!

Do you want to see Arnold Senterfitt's aerial photos, or do you have those already?

sure David. I have the 1968 book but if you have more than that please post. In his day they didn't have the best cameras and mounting platforms.

Baja Traveler photos are by my late friend and neighbor (he died last year in his early 90's) Harry Merrick. He needs to get credit.

Capt Mike:

Will likely go over Easter weekend.

Yes, Galen's book has a much better pic and in color!

Thank you for the inside information... Harry did an excellent job promoting Baja... His book helps all, covering roads, airports and seaports!

VIVA HARRY MERRICK!:bounce::bounce::bounce:

Because he shared what he discovered in Baja, he will 'live' forever!
