After a quick look, and another beer, I find a way to the big room... a cave created by a giant boulder resting on others. Inside are petroglyphs, as well.



One more of the outside glyphs.



Inside the big room, on the ceiling...







From the big room are these boojum tree views...







Back outside...











See Baja Angel waving?











The quail (cordonices) come out to check on us.



Okay, time to go on new (to us) roads! Back out the 1.8 miles to the side arroyo, then 1.0 mile north to the upper Las Pintas road, and 1.4 miles to the end of the road...



Continued, in the new Part II HERE: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=48021

I learned of the site from Walt Peterson's 1987 'The Baja Adventure Book', and it has appeared on Mexican Topo maps for many years... so my guess is yes, it has been studied for it is very well known.

Raul at the El Rosario tire shop says he owns it, told me to enjoy the area... his uncle's ranch is in the San Fernando arroyo just east of the Las Pintas side canyon.

Okay, I have divided the trip report into two posts as the number of photos was really slowing down the time to view them being all on one post... Go to http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=48021 to see the new, upper Las Pintas photos and the trip to Tecate via Corredor 2000.
