Yes to all responders, including David K., before I deleted the previous thread. I am going to have to challenge everyone a little more next time.
The northwestern side of Cabo Colonet can be seen in the distance. The photo was taken just south of the sand dunes from an altitude of 300 feet in a
paraglider.

All Right!!!
I haven't been there since 1980. I had a Honda ATC110 three wheeler and with the air removed from the front tire and the handle bar rotated, it
actually fit INSIDE my Subaru 4WD wagon!
We camped by the big dunes south of San Antonio Del Mar. Down the beach (in Frigatebird's photo) I spotted a bottle with an orange card inside and a
rubber cork.
It was an ocean current reseach bottle from National Geographic World Magazine. Over the next few years these bottles were found all around the
Pacific Ocean as the current circle the ocean. Mexico, the Phillipenes, Taiwan, Japan, Soviet Union, Alaska, Canada, and back to California.
It turned out the bottles were released off L.A., and not long before I found it... I learned this years afterward in a newspaper article.
National Geographic rewarded my reporting in with a free world map, but didn't tell me when and where the bottle was released... which I wanted a lot
more than the gift!
These bottles turned up on Malarrimo as well (naturally). In 'Backroad Baja' by Patti and Tom Higginbotham, on page 49, is a photo of them holding one
of the bottles.
