Yes, I am familiar with those, Dunas de Soledad I think they are called, just north of Guerrero Negro.
I study sand dune ecology, and have found a few spots in the Baja Almanac, but I'm sure there must be a few "hidden" dune fields I am unaware of. You
guys get around pretty extensively and thought you might have run across something.
Thanks again.

YES, YES!! That is my feelings exactly! Take only photographs!
Can you tell me where these mission visita tombs are located? They are really 'out there' in bushwacking, 4WD country... Quite a find! (photo from
bajataco, I went there in '03).

I have seen them hauling (I guess the same stuff) from a mine about a mile or so north of Zoo road at about 10 miles west of Hghy 5. When Tuaneater
was prerunning for the 1000, saw several 10 wheelers and a couple 18 wheelers going up and down the road. Later I saw one of the 18 wheelers at the
local ready mix plant. If it's the same stuff, it's a lot closer than Puertecitos to TJ. Might not be a large enough deposit to make it worthwhile.

Mines
Lou, From my Mexican gold mining experince I beleive you have to have a mining claim on that kind of material, there are claim markers near the area
so your area could be a claim too. Mexican mining claim markers are required to be 4' X 3' X 3 solid concrete with name of mine,size, serial # and map
emblossed on them. No mistaking them! All minerals belong to the goverment but you can "Claim" them, they call it a "Denounanceation" (sp)

Don't remember any claim markers in that area - altho there could be some. This material had been mined at some time in the past and it apears a
limited renewal of the operation. Maybe go look tomorrow.

Mine
Lou, Don't breath the dust, it contains asbestos, a lot, the short particiles, the ones that give you asbestois and COPD, I know I have COPD (BAD).
Less than 1 hour exposure to fine dust can disable you !
