Great report and photos! We think that was a Sperm Whale you found on the beach. I would have dug into that bad boy for it's teeth. Maybe come Spring
break....
Thanks for taking the time to make the report.

cpg,
Yes, it would be pretty nasty. Rubber gloves and a good sense of balance would be necessary as to not slip and fall in. I've always wanted some Sperm
whale teeth to add to our collection. We ran across one last summer on an island, but by the time we were able to return a month later to investigate
it, the jaws had been removed.
The smell doesn't really bother me much, specially if I stay up wind.
Collecting baleen:
Hurry up Spring Break!

Love that picture, Paulina. Getting a tooth from a sperm whale would indeed be a treasured prize.

There are several... the one on Geoff's map is between Gonzaga Bay and Coco's Corner. This is the La Turquesa Canyon shortcut we have been showing in
the new thread 'Santa Maria' by Steve & Debbie.
Here is a web page I made on the Turquesa Canyon green pools and turquoise mine (on page 2): http://vivabaja.com/wayno

Here's a map with my GPS track getting to the turquoise mine. The darker purple is where I walked the last mile:
