My husband says there still is a man from Mulege, Colonia Loma Azul, named Rafael H. who does live out there at El Salto and is running the cattle. He also will provide the gorgeous rock laja that's from there. It's a dark desert rose color. One of a kind and stunning. We almost used it for the floors of our house.

As to my recollection about my brother-in-law being born out at the mine, well I asked my husband about that and he looked at me like I was nuts. He said absolutely not, the mine was closed some 50-60 years ago. Somebody I know did tell me about a family member being born at the mine... now I gotta find out!

Our friends, Tom and Patti Higgenbottem have written about the mine in their travel book about Baja and mention that it's one of the "snakiest" places they have experienced on the peninsula...i don't want to misquote them but i think that is an appropriate paraphrase. Our amigo Stu took his bmw bike back in there and said he probably wouldn't do it again....and i know dt and that damn canadian did it a few years ago when they stayed with us in mulege and mentioned it was a tough run in....i'll probably only stop by boat for a picnic..below the tide line.

We have picnicked on the beach on the Mulege side of the point and saw Rattlesnakes every time...
