Anybody know something about Isla Cedro? Like history, or old photos of the original inhabitants.

Mood: Have Baja Fever

Sure... I'll see what I can dig up when I have a chance! The port town was set up to transfer salt from GUERRERO NEGRO barges to large ocean going ships... Beginning in or about 1957. The island was named by the Spanish because of the Cedar trees that grow there.

Mood: I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.

DAVID, I THINK I FINALLY HAVE YA!


"Ocean GOWING ships?"

First of all, sorry for the hi-jack but just had to take the opportunity to bring to David’s (Baja Nomads unofficial "spell check" monitor) attention, where does a ship go when it is GOWING?
biggrin: :biggrin:

David, this is written in fun and look forward to meeting you and the Mrs. some day.

Nope... I don't spell check English words, just Baja place names! But, thanks for that... I just pound away sometimes and don't check before posting!

Thank you Howard, that sounds great!
