that went out to the Presa were ol man "niclos" from el charro and "Oscar" from agua calienta (rip friend)..then you could camp in the middle of the
road for a good week and not see a car!! very different today !!...Abe was not a friend of us locals and brought out a very negative gringo additude
to the area...That said he did do a good thing in LA PAZ with the snake gig !!! back to the waterfalls and area,,, it really needs some long,,slow
rain up top where there was bears and a lake with pine trees less than 40 miles from cabo....bet you did not know THAT !!! |
Thanks for sharing Capt! I too hiked up to the falls on my first back-road adventure here in the Cape region 17 years ago. Without side tracking the
theme of this post too much, I know Nicolas Castro (well over 100 years young) and his family. Nicolas was born in a ranch above the waterfalls. As
well as having the pleasure to have shared laughter with Oscar of Agua Caliente. Possible the kindest, happiest spirit I have ever met on this plane.
Did know about the lake...do tell me more about the bears.
Back to Sonia, here in San Jose del Cabo off and on l (mostly off) light rain throughout the day and currently a bit of breeze and sunlight peeking
through the clouds. Looks like the center of the storm will pass to the south. We'll see what tonight brings.

OSCAR and waterfalls
Hola,,yes Oscar is sorely missed by many..I was told the funeral was by far the biggest that Santiago ever seen ! the happest,nicest spirit I have met
on this spinnig rock!! I go and see his wife and his son helped me bury my dog near the presa about three yrs ago..I'm very well known in that area
as its been a large part of my life..about the bears..many of the old guys have told their was bears years ago but not for a while and every one has
given me defferent dates as to when they disapperd.which is understandable...bears don't walk around waving flags...there is big cats,,deer,wild pig
and a lot of doves.. hence the hotol la poloma where bing Crosby would fly in and hunt... and since the rain stopped and no chabasco I thought I
would reply ...K&T

first time i ever ever drove up to canon la zorra,( canyon of the fox), i came around a corner just before the parking area for the hike up to the
falls and a trapper was standing there at the edge of the road with a bunch of traps and a half dozen dead fox in them....i was flabbergasted!!...just
blew me away!...have many, many stories of adventures up that canyon before they started charging for entry...

El Zorra
That has been called sol de mayo all my life till recently...I think its a marketing ploy...I been told that they fixed up the parking lot and now
charge for access..I know it dried up a few months back...."They paved paradise And put up a parking Lot "
