Hotschott
A good man to know, Steve helps people and has helped with much of the improvements at Guadalupe Canyon.

Hotschott and Baja Angel were going down the canyon when I jumped over to the north bank to check a good looking boulder, and found more!

Just in case you guys forgot what I looked like with Baja Angel!  
It was a great weekend... 3 hours from San Diego, great tacos in Tecate, only a NINE MINUTE border line coming home Sunday (at 11:30am)... and saw
most of the Charger game too!
Have a great Baja experience, stay out of trouble... use 4WD to preserve the roads from spinning tire damage... take only photos... haul out your
trash... be a good Nomad and share your trips here for those of us who can't get there or are satisfied with just seeing the pictures.
If you would like the GPS waypoint for the petro boulder we hiked to (the one with the human figures), please u2u me or email me for it.
Until next time, adios amigos!

OUTSTANDING PHOTOS, and descriptions, David.
I have been camping at Guadalupe for over 50 years and you are now showing me things I NEVER saw, even tho we took many, many hikes all around there.
This is what NOMADS is all about, for me anyway. Where we went, to what I thought was "Rattlesnake Canyon", is a different canyon all
together----------Now I have to go back and see this fantastic new (to me) stuff!!!
Thank you, David.
Barry

El gusto es mio!
By the way, I do have more photos than those above... but the idea is to wet your appetite... If you go, you will see more than I have shown here, as
is the case with all my Baja trip reports and web pages!

DK, I am very impressed if you did 16+ miles in 3 hours. Over 5 mph is an elite pace for hiking.

-----MaGoat-----watch my lips carefully--------David DROVE to rattlesnake canyon, which if you have been paying attention instead of just reacting you
would have known.

Yes, you can see my Toyota and Hotschott's Chevy parked at the end of the road, 8 miles from Guadalupe Canyon... I thought that was obvious since I
provided a road log... Perhaps MtGoat is just kidding or wasn't clear with my use of the + sign, for 16 miles PLUS the hike to the petros further up
from the parking area... in total was close to 3 hours.
Here were my exact words from my post above: "allow about 3 hours for this 16 mile + hike trip to the petroglyphs."
To be perfectly clear (I hope): A 16 mile round-trip road trip (by truck) and the hike over the boulders.

yes,
that could have happened. I am just hyper this morning----too much coffee, and the fact that snow is falling outside just set me off (snow---only
happened here about 4 times in 20 years----must be Global Cooling.)
Sorry Mt.Goat-----just a case of itchy trigger finger, I suppose.

Thanks Bob, I wasn't sure if everyone knew the meaning of a Baja California 'metate' or a grinding pit. The English word would be mortar and the stone
inserted would be a pestle... like what pharmacists use to gring medicines to place in capsules...
