Las Venecas is correct. Papa Diaz (L.A. Bay) built a dam in there way way back in time.


I was told the dams were built in the 60's. I've also been told that sometimes you can get water coming out of the spigot at the bottom of the dam. I wonder if the old Karmen Ghia body is still there? I always wondered how it got there, I'm sure that is another baja classic story.




Off grid, 12-190 watt evergreen solar panels on solar trackers, 2-3648 stacked Outback inverters, 610ah LiFePo4 48v battery bank, FM 60 and MX60 Outback charge controllers, X-240 Outback transformer for 240v from inverters, 6500 watt Kubota diesel generator.

At Rancho La Bocana (shown as San Pedro on the topos), there was a broken down Jeep Gladiator with a big Truck Racing Fuel sticker. BajaNomad's father invented and owned Trick. That's how Doug was introduced to Baja racing.
