YEAH...I WAS THINKING MAYBE FLEAS OR SOMETHING! Funny what first pops into your mind sometimes when you read something!!
But looking forward to reading all the explanations of why it's that way. The rocks and rock formations on CA Hwy 8 as you head East and down into the
Imperial Valley, Calexico and AZ are also very interesting!

Nomad Amigos...Here\'s hoping you all have safe Baja travels, amazing sunrises, sunny days, comforting breezes, beautiful sunsets, tasty tacos,
cold cervezas and frosty margaritas!!

Good one!
Good thing I didn't start this thread with "I was just standing around scratching my burro and wondering about these rocks"! Goddess only knows what
that might have generated!

Now I'll go back and read this whole thread (looks muy interesante) from the beginning instead of scanning quickly and posting out of my own
narcissistic tendencies. =) |
You might have something there according to Louisiana and Tennessee Legislators. Watch them take on this kid take the issue on. The videos are jaw
dropping.

I understand that an ancient camel fossil has been found in upper Baja and that there is a petrified forest in Baja.

This just gets more curiouser and curiouser.

What I recall from my geology class days...
The granite is the older rock, weathering/ quakes turns it into boulders. The lava flows and volcanoes are newer and have covered much of the granite
rock... You see this as you go from Cataviņa to Laguna Chapala. El Pedregoso (the boulder mountain) was once the highest mountain in that region, then
the volcanoes rose higher, and lava flows filled the area.
The peninsula and the west side of the San Andreas Fault in (Alta) California is on the Pacific Plate part that is moving north and forming the Gulf
of California. The Sierra Nevada range is on the seperate North American Plate... Cabo San Lucas started near Puerto Vallarta before the plates
separated.
