Those panning videos of San Rafael are amazingly beautiful. It never looked that good when we show up. The desert looks virtually like a garden.

Should be good with those rigs. Will definitely post up a trip report when we return. Wish I could go now! Lets see what kind of weather we get
between now and then. |
Now you're talking!!! Have a blast and please do post a trip report and photos!

That is nice... I have used a 360º panorama maker and posted the view at Mission Santa Maria in 2007... I will need to check out the program that Jon
used on his photos.

Was there any camp that the bugs were not to bad?

No. The camps at the south end of the bay were much worse than around Poncho's on the west side. But, the bugs were bad both places, it's just a
matter of degree. They were also bad on the interior, though I seem to recall fewer mosquitoes in the interior relative to the gulf.

Thanks for the great photos and report! BTW - your quote made me curious so I looked up Ed Abbey. Is this from the book Desert Solitaire, or one of
his other books? Sounds like he was an interesting guy.

The quote is from the essay Mountain Music in his book The Journey Home, probably my favorite collection of stories he did. I have
more highlighted or underlined in this book than any of his others ... and I have most, if not all.
"To be alive is to take risk; to be always safe and secure is death." Probably the one influential quote that provokes me to adventure solo in Baja.
"Who needs wilderness? Civilization needs wilderness. The idea of wilderness preservation is one of the fruits of civilization, like Bach music,
Tolstoy's novels, scientific medicine, novocaine, space travel, free love, the double martini, the secret ballot, the private home and private
property, the public park and public property, freedom of travel, the Bill of Rights, peppermint toothpaste, beaches for nude bathing, the right to
own and bear arms, the right not to own and bear arms, and a thousand other good things one could name, some of them trivial, most of them essential,
all of them vital to that great, bubbling, disorderly, anarchic, unmanageable diversity of opinion, expression, and ways of living which free men and
women love, which is their breath of life, and which the authoritarians of church and state and war and sometimes even art despise and always have
despised. And feared.
The permissive society? What else? I love America because it is a confused, chaotic mess -- and I hope we can keep it this way for at least
another thousand years."
I could quote all day long.
"God Bless America -- Let's Save Some of It. Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet."

I remember that. Pemex was out of fuel and we waited in line for jerry cans. All part of the adventure.
