Iris photographs Baja Grande


Iris did a great job assembling photos on her Facebook page. Here are some highlights from her digital camera.

Iris


Iris & 2/3rds of the group camped at the Rancho Grande section of Gonzaga Bay due to the beach being less rocky and better for fishing.

Well Ken, looks like it wasn't just you sent to secondary this time--all the Jeeps were there! Haha!

What happened to that plane in photo 20? Landing gear issues?

The plane crash landed in Puerto San Francisquito because it was losing altitude and had to find someplace to land right away. $6 Million USD worth of plane sits, waiting for repairs....:(
