About boating in that shallow water.  A jet boat would work, only needs
enough water to float the hull.

Very true, but WE did not have no stinkin jet boats back in those days (and I still don't)--------------besides, even a jet boat cannot navigate when
there is NO WATER, which there isn't about 98% of the time. But, you are sure right in saying that jet boats would be the way to go when the rains
come-------- if you were in a real hurry-----------but I am thinking that
it is a lot more relaxing and inspiring to "float" the river in kayaks or canoes, etc.
Pray for rain------lots of rain--------for weeks and weeks.

This did turn into an interesting thread - and my thanks to each of you who made it so.
I'd like you to 'meet' the man responsible for following through each time we said... "fly real low and then turn the plane on it's side, Migue, so we
can get a better shot." If you'd like to contact him, write him here - Cap - or let me know and I'll provide you more info.

pls ask him to get the movie together and by lines so we can enjoy their trip! |
We are back, the movie is in the editing room and the compilation film will be ready later this fall. We will have a trip report posted to the web
site soon. I am sure that everyone here already knows this; But Natalie is a truly lovely person. Thank you for the kind words, photos, and your
continuing friendship you are the best, Nena!
Fly low, land on roads.

Friends - The photos are surreal just as was the trip. One of these days I'm gonna get up the gumption to write up that trip report,
share it with y'all. Meanwhile I'm real happy you enjoyed the photos.
Sally - Yep, the muy guapo Cap is very married. This trip, however, was just Cap/Michael, my husband Steve, and me. All my
girlfriends refer to this as my trip with the two hunks.

Good article in the LA Times today on the Colorado River delta.
Easy to see primary reasons for the degradation of the Cortes.

I live in Yuma and have kayaked down to Morelas Dam but not below it (no water). There is good kayaking north of Yuma towards Laguna Dam and Imperial
Dam with numerous back waters.

I've read that at some point south of the border you can put in and paddle/motor to Isla Montegue - Do you know where this put in point is? Have any
photos to share of your yak adventures?

The Salinity Canal starts around Wellton Az. and continues south to supply the marsh lands (cienegas) around the entrance to the Sea of Cortez with
water (saline) in an effort to protect the wildlife and vegetation

Incredable photographs Natalie Ann. We drove through the area last spring on our return North. Very different part of the globe.
I wish how to post pics. Have some stunning shots but this webside is sooo difficult to operate. Can't even get an Avtar posted. And I am not a
computer illiterate. Too bad.
The grass is always greener....
and so, there is always a better spot in Baja

Photo from Sea of Cortez
These beautiful pictures of the northern Sea of Cortez inspired me to dig up this one shot with a very funky camera from about 6500' last year (north
of San Felipe).

Wow, Stickers, I love that shot! Nature can be so.... artsy.
There is still that same effect of the water running out from breaks in the concrete which dams the Colorado. I do not believe the little streams
leaving it now are as long or intricate as in your shot. I found that whole area to be surrealistically beautiful and incredibly sad at the same
time. I couldn't help but wonder what it all must have looked like in the days that the mighty Colorado flowed freely all the way to the Sea.
Here's how it looked to us:
(Edit: the pinkish cast on the left of the photos is not actual landscape color, it's light bouncing off the plexiglass window)
