Nice pic Lou. Mi bueno amigo Lee Moreno lives in the brown house on the left just as you make the rise. You then fork to the right for the new
motel. He is the one I fished with during the BBBB II. I caught so many fish that I had to give DK 5 Kilos.
The observitory is a long day trip from there, though. You could spend the night at Meling, then head to the top, if you want to keep it mellow.
Then again, who needs anything more than a few days at the Meling ranch?

It was BBBB I, but Tom (Minnow, Me No) did give me several (mucho) filets which Mike Humfreville cooked up for us (riding in the Viva Baja van) for
4th of July dinner, 2001.
They were cooked up at Herman's place (Guillermo's compound) where a party was going on with students from the turtle research station...

It was in early April we went and didn't seem too bad for a day trip - left about 8:30, stopped at Melings for about a hour or a little more, they
gave us a tour of the place. Had lunch at the fire station campground, then on to the observitory. Got a tour of the place including getting on the
catwalk outside the dome. Stop for a cool one break at the fire camp on the way down and back to the motel by about 6 (at least before dark). This
time of year the days are a lot longer. They are doing a lot of work on the road - cement roadbed on the steepest hill you have to climb and widening
miles of it a little farthur up.

Lou, how far does the pavement go from Highway One... San Telmo de Arriba or even Rancho Sinaloa I heard??
In 2000, the last 2 km. were paved (from the gate to the end at the big dome, elev. 9,280')... where you took the photo.

Probably Rancho Sinaloa - maybe farthur now as they have several crews working on the road at different locations. Even where it was not paved, it
was a good road easily passible by any 2WD vehicles. Noticed the staff had several fairly new old style VWs. They drove 13 of us up that lost couple
miles of paved and very steep road so we could have the tour. 13 of us plus driver in a F150 pickup.
