If you are thirsty enough! Do you have The Baja Adventure Book... ? On page 133 (newer editions) is a photo of Victor Cook drinking from the El Volcan
geyser... It is cold, carbonated water (despite some guides that have called it a hot spring). |
DAaid,
I assumed by the preponderance of the tufa at the spring, the water was heavily mineralized.
Cold carbonated mineral water, you say !!!! Seems like a person just needs a chair, sombrero, limes, and a choice of gin and vodka....my kind of
watering hole  |
Well yes, it is liquid onyx in the making... a thousnad years for every new inch of onyx said one book!
The same soda/ onyx springs are found near Gonzaga Bay and other sites in Baja.

I want to thank you elbeau, for you're persistence in pushing this lost mission. I had a really great time with the other explorers. My health won't
let me do this again so I'm grateful that this last one was so good. Thank you elbeau, and the rest of the dirty 8.

It was great that all of us who made it to El Volcan that weekend did... I will remember and enjoy the memories always Lou. Thank you for being there
and making it all the more fun for us!!! I always wanted to do at least one search for the most famous lost Baja mission! Bucket List checked!

No plans right now to go to San Felipe - just have to wait and see. Be great to see you again (or any others of the group).
