Hola David, >>>> There is an interesting old sulfer mining operation located in Los Sierra Cucapas south of Mexicali west of MEX 5 on an gravel and quite steep road up and into those very barren mountains. That could possibly be your mystery site. If that sulfer hole in the wall is thee site, there is an abandoned well on the down side of those mts. on the eastern side of Laguna Salada. Just a guess, you know. Best regards,>>>>sq.

The Squarecircle is exactly right! This is the El Promontorio sulfur mine, south of Mexicali overloking the Laguna Salada.

The El Apache sulfur mine is 22 miles south of San Felipe on the old Puertecitos road (5 miles weat of Mex. 5 at Km. 31 and 32.).
