No Bad News
If we can sneak through Norbert and Odile it will continue to be a glorious time for outings in the southern mountains. Here's a recent one where we
encountered a new Zip Line enterprise but we just got above em and enjoyed the canyon as though we were alone. Look for a rock diver in the middle of

Some of the pools are 30 feet deep -- who knows what they'll be after these next 2 storms.

Nice pix, Osprey. Does the location of your private pool require secret handshake for entry? Your guard iguana looks attentive.

These look to be year-round pools - surely you looked around to see if you spooked any fish when you walked up?

The force of the water after rains in the mountains washes most fish down and out of the stream where they die in the summer/dry arroyos. Those few
that survive replenish the year-round pools and the cycle begins again. Before these latest rains/storms I saw nice bass in the deeper pools but they
are all gone now.
Most Laguna mountains canyons now are SEMARNAT biosphere parks and require a 50 peso day fee per person. No gate at this one now that the zip people
have taken over.

Beautiful spot, Osprey! It should be a crime to wear bathing suits.

Toneart, big mistake to skinny dip anywhere down this way. Big fines, they haul you off to jail just the way they found you. Never a good idea because
Mexican families use the canyons to picnic. I watched a hippy type at Aguas Caliente laying out in the altogether at a place in the canyon where
families gathered. When he refused to get dressed (he was already stoned) I stoned him some more -- bigger stones.
I have been a skippyhappy skinny dipper all my life but always careful there was no body around to offend.

Caboron, To be fair, I can't just give directions to this place from your house -- must be for all Nomads, most of whom live up north. Sooo: you twist
your way through the freeways of the Western U.S., fight your way across the border into Baja California, dodge the attempts to kidnap you or take off
your head, swerve around any narco death squads, stay on highway one til it splits south of La Paz. Either highway to San Lucas will have side roads
up canyons like these after heavy rains. Believe me, it's worth the trip, the perils, the trouble. No skinny, no tire basura, por favor.

What are you talking about .... I live in Todos Santos.
And I think you are a jerk for keeping your getaway place a secret.
