Thank you very much for posting these great pics. I know that I will never see these places and appreciate your post. Ditto to Mexitron.

My pleasure to share my trips with you! I have a lot of Baja on my web site and Notebook.... Lot's of links to other interesting sites with an
emphasis on historic and natural locations, off the beaten track!

Great pictures David. I hope you have a great-- and safe-- adventure next Saturday!
Maybe you can post your new pictures on this thread so we can compare with the ones above, and see what 8 years has done to this amazing site

You know the photos will be coming... heck, I just enjoy taking Baja Angel to new places and also showing the beauty of Baja to you guys!
I was there in April 2003... the last time: http://vivabaja.com/403

Looks just like it did when I went in 2003. I hiked the last mile though rather than drive through that nice wetland there.

Yah, the weather is mostly dry and that helps the adobe to last longer.
Hiking is not an option, as we are all not physically able to carry the camping gear, since we are spending a couple nights in there.
In 2003 (April), after our three vehicles arrived and set up camp, a Jeep club of about 20 vehicles came in during the night, camped in the palms east
of the mission and were leaving the next day! We left ahead of them... didn't want to get stuck waiting for all 20 to climb the Widowmaker!
I am sure that road gets a lot of 4WD traffic... including that water crossing. Worth spending more time...
There is a lot of history in there... I have heard of many Indian sleeping circles, if one looks. I plan to find the west end of the Camino Real from
the Gonzaga Bay side... maybe hike it to where my son and I turned back in Nov. 2003, coming from Gonzaga http://vivabaja.com/1103/page2.html ??
