Walking back to my truck, we follow the base of each side of the arroyo looking for Indian petroglyphs... Can you see little Baja Angel at the base of
that cliff? We didn't find any. There have been some cave ins and land slides... that may have covered any up?
In Part 3, I have photos of the El Marmol cemetery... I will also add GPS waypoints to the other driving details...
My last visit has some GPS details if you can't wait: http://vivabaja.com/403/page13.html and the following page.
This report continues in Part 3: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=15273

...as always, David. You guys are having way to much fun on those road trips! That one of you near the Elephant tree appears to really be 'Drew
Carey' in shades...if you look close!
Fun stuff, keep em' coming!
According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,
\"It doesn\'t use numbers or moving hands It always just says now...\"

David, sorry, I didn't mean to imply...
...well, you know - I only thought your 'face' looked like Drew Carey, not necessarily your body...
I'm trying to get back on the old 'diet' routine, also!

Hey, I know I am overweight! With so much GREAT food in Baja and me going several times a month to Tijuana and beyond, it is impossible to not look
'happy' (well fed)!!
Here is a photo of Mexray at the Nuevo Mazatlan campfire working on his 'Jiffy Pop' diet!!!

Some GPS has been added... more to come... wanted to get the final (#3) part done... and it is now...
Look for better area map to replace the one I added tonight to Part 1, and a revised El Rosario town map...
Good night friends!

David did you know there is another small onyx dig further up the arroyo around the bend. The road coming in crosses the wash and there is a road to
the right that goes out to it.

second onyx pool
TW - I did a google earth check and see what may be the road end you wrote about. If you can get onto google earth and locate the end of the "road to
the right", would it be the apparent end at 29 59 28.57N & 114 46 14.48W ?

Guys... Yes! When Lorenzo and I went and camped by the white slope in 2000... I walked that miners road up on the east side of Volcan arroyo... and
saw the digs and a big pool at the bottom of the cliff around the bend.
I was so close to seeing the onyx dome... but didn't know to look for it in the arroyo!
In my links to Baja Places from Space, I have a close up of El Volcan... and of course you can pan out from there to follow the road, see the white
slope, etc... Give me a minute and I will post the link here: El Volcan Onyx Dome
Also: White Slope 1/4 mi. from Arroyo el Volcan
Here is an edited map of the area...

Here is a closer in image of that map... Everyone should have the Baja Almanac (even with the mistakes: Arroyo Zamora is actually Arroyo el Volcan,
Mexico Hwy. #1 is south of the old road, which is shown as paved Mex. 1 between Sonora and Catavi?a)... http://www.baja-almanac.com
I added the location (per my GPS) of the mystery road that forks left, 2.0 miles from El Marmol... Also note the GPS location of point 'A' which is
the dry waterfall wall the stopped Corky, BillB, and mcgyver from going any further up Arroyo el Volcan.
