baja is green
lots of life down there right now with every thing so green and flowers every were. we slipped over to the seven sisters for some good weather(light
winds) and lots of xploreing on my quad up to blanco and down to los lobos. if you like pismo clams then youll like this area as the beachs are loaded
with them. after three day we went over to BOLA for the new year and hooked up with lots of friends for docs party. took a trip down to animas on
quads(75 miles round trip) and fished the coast for lots of barricuda and found lots of shells. lots of water in the arroyos right now and puddles
everywere, lots of fun on the quads. there catching halibut of the shores at la gringa and playa raphel south up to ten pounds. another good trip and
starting to plan my next.

Glad to hear that you got some pismos. We got skunked a couple of weeks ago. Too much surf and the tides never really went low. I guess we were just
too lazy to get in above our hips! Last time I was there (last March) we had pismos every day. You're right about the green... very pretty right now.
And is it just me, or do the cardons look bloated?

4 baja ...
Baja is almost like a different place when there is a lot of water .....
In SEPTEMBER ... I visited several of the ranchos ... WEST os SANTA AGUEDA ....(which is SOUTH of SANTA ROSALIA) .... and it was so beautiful with all
of the growth and new life from the rains. I told myself that I will have to return at the same time NEXT year .... to take some pictures .....

The trees looked almost like they were covered with moss they were so green, and bent over with all the weight of the water in the tops.
Steve, was that you bringing up the rear of a five, or so, rig caravan heading out of the Sta. Rosalillita area on the 28th? You guys had stopped
there. I think you were driving a white tundra. I stopped at the punta preata junction and waited a while, as I had a present for your new years
party. (1 liter of bacanora) but had to press on after a twenty minutes or so.

With all the 'weather' going on...
the green should still be 'showing off' when we get down there in two weeks!
Looking forward to some mellow 'Baja Green'

Maybe not THIS rain, but after A big rain.
Until someone posts something that is "news". Will this fill your need?

MIKE ....
I saw that thread on MAGDALENA ... but was short on INTERNET time at the library to give it the proper reply ....
I know several families that live WEST of SJ de MAGDALENA .... but I have been to only a few of their ranchos. I spend most of my time WEST of SANTA
AGUEDA ( population: 50 people) and rancho SAN ZACHARIAS ... 20 KM SOUTH of SAN IGNACIO .... because there are soooo many families to visit .... and
as DAVID K says .... "so little time" ..... my friends don't want me to spend just an hour and leave ...
My next visit will bring many happy faces to the valleys ..... on EBAY I purchased a pound of BEEFSTAKE STYLE TOMATO seeds, bell PEPPERS, and several
different kinds of LETTUCE to name just a few .... they will have plenty of GREEN'S to share with their friends this spring and summer ....

Cristobal, might I suggest a packet of Sweet corn to go along with the bounty you will share. It seems all to corn in Baja is of the livestock feed
variety, so it needs to be pounded and made into tortillas to be really good. With everything you bring, you will be a hero when you return during
harvest season.

cristobal, I still have a mental picture of you curled up on the deck of a sailboat in Sta. Rosalia marina that I will treasure forever.
A friend of my wifes ownes the fruiteria on the right as you exit Sta. Rosalia. I am sure you know the one I am talking about. When your amigos
crops come in make sure they take some of it to the stand. Have them mention my wifes name and they will give them a very fair price for their
vegatables, maybe the cheese too.

If you want to bring that picture into focus a little bit ..... the boat that I stayed on in the MARINA ..... is posted here today .... I just found it
"very easy mystery spot" by Natalie Ann
The second PIC that she posted has the little sailboat in the mudflats in MULEGE ....
I know where that FRUITERIA is .... in S ROSALIA .... I will definately stop there on my next trip to the mountains ..... maybe soon ..... way too
much rain here in ORANGE COUNTY ... ... I should have been SOUTH a long time ago.
