Hey, I passed up this 'thing' on the way to Cowpatties, south of San Felipe, on the way to Gonzaga!

Thanks Skipjack Joe! that Cardon is just off the road of one of those little side trips you can take on the road to BoLA. The whole area was enchanting, the only way I can think of describing it would be to call it a forest of Cardon's.

Speaking of BoLA...

Just a few more...


It is pretty hard to pick the 'best of Baja' when so much is so good!

Here are 7 more from our trip to Baja Sur, July 2007:















I think most of you know where these all were taken... ask if you need the location of any!:light:

Bob H,

Earlier, you asked the location of Hecror's shrine... I gave the GPS waypoint. However, you (or others) may not have a GPS receiver...

Here are the milages south of El Rosario to the El Marmol road... note Hector's monument is in this log at Mile 31.6 from the Baja Cactus Pemex in El Rosario:

Road Log (Miles)

0.0 El Rosario Pemex Station

14.6 Punta San Carlos Jcn.

28.5 Los Martires, San Juan de Dios Jcn.

31.5 El Descanso

31.6 Monument to Hector

37.8 Old Road to right, Mision San Fernando access

39.4 El Progreso, signed San Fernando road

46.2 Santa Catarina Jcn. (original shipping point for El Marmol's onyx)

46.4 Guyaquil Jcn. (new home for many of El Marmol's residents after 1958)

54.2 San Agustin abandoned trailer park

54.3 Abandoned gas station San Agustin

54.4 San Agustin highway maintenance complex

56.1 (former) Military Checkpoint at abandoned Tres Enriques cafe

56.5 EL MARMOL JCN. (signed 15 kms.), just beyond is the Cafe Sonora

My Baja California Road Log of the entire Hwy. 1, Hwy. 5, Hwy. 3, Hwy. 19, and other side trips was published in January, 1975... see cover, below.

Since then, I have only done various 'special' road logs of my trips to interesting places in Baja... They are ALL here on Nomad in the Trip Reports Forum... just go to that forum and scroll back... OR, go to BajaGringo's forum http://TalkBaja.com where I have posted ALL my road logs in one post!

The road log you saw here was from our trip to El Marmol and El Volcan a couple years ago: http://vivabaja.com/marmol
