David K. Thanks for the pictures. Tracked Bighorn sheep in Oregon, even
with radio collars they were hard to spot.

15... I took many more, but it become pretty hard to see them as they hopped through the palms and lower boulders at the far end of the pond from our
camp.
I am posting so many, because these animals are so rare to see for most of us that I knew you guys would enjoy as much as we did seeing them...
In the next part, The Squarecircle and I hike down the canyon in search of the Padre's EL CAMINO REAL, stay tuned!

David K. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Tracked Bighorn sheep in Oregon, they were wearing radio collars. Hard to spot even when you know were they
are.

Thanks---love the photos. Hiked down a canyon in the San Gabriel Mountains once and the sides of the canyon were covered with big horn sheep---just
beautiful creatures.
Thank for sharing what was a very good trip!

David, as usual, a fantastic set up trip reports and photos. You just have to get back in touch with Huel Howser to get him to extend his reporting
range to south of the border. It's still part of the Californias. This would make for a great series of shows for you and him. I can just hear him
saying over and over again...."Well, this is truely AMAZING!"
Looks like you guys had very good weather throughout this advendure.

The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

Amazing, that many big horn sheep, and so close; you are very fortunate. In over 20+ years in Baja, we only saw two once while biking in the copper
mine area north of La Gringa, BOLA; and these were very nervous, always a ridge away. We have started going to the Bahia Guadalupe area, and hope to
site some there.
Is this oasis area north of El Marmol??

Awesome photos! Very rare to get pictures of Big Horns unless with a monster telephoto. You were extremely lucky. Thanks for sharing.

It is about 20-25 miles south of El Marmol... east of Cataviņa, west of Bahia San Luis Gonzaga. The 2003-2004 AAA map shows the mission, but they have
it on the wrong arroyo, about 5 miles north of its correct location, on Arroyo Santa Maria.
