Wow, thats a great report, thanks!! Memories, memories! I have not been up to San Pedro Martir for quite a while. The first time was in the early-mid '70s with my '67 VW Westfalia camper. That was slow going over unpaved track up to Melling Ranch from Colonet on the first day then on to San PM the next. Melling Ranch was really fun. We camped and hiked for about a week then crawled into San Vincente on fumes, gas could get scarce back then. The Jeffery pines smelled like vanilla rather than butterscotch like in the sierras....or was it the other way?? Anyway, wil be headed south next Wednesday for a few weeks.

One cannot see San Felipe from up there as it is behind the hilltop; just as when you are in San Felipe, you cannot see the peak/observatory. At least not until you go out on the water a few miles, like in this photo I took last year; Picacho el Diablo is off to the right.
