Sounds like Harry mighta thought he found a long lost relative or something - one of his kind.

The Mystery Tree
What is it and where is it?
Hint: This one is south of Mulege and north of Cabo...closer to the Cortez than to the Pacific.
For decades, many Don Juans have carved lover's intitials there.

Hi Mike y Roz...hey, we must have just missed you guys at Bonneville Dam. We were there for a couple days about a week ago. Great place that I have
passed by many, many time.. and I heard about the fishing! Those sturgeon are indeed huge. I saw a huge one 'poling' in the swift current below the
dam. That fish came out of the water like a telephone pole..straight up and straight back down...an amazing sight. Reminds me of paddlefish on Ol
Mo.
Salmon, you say? I decided to fish them in a more convenient spot .... perfected this technique on the Kenai River in Alaska next to some bears.
Thanks for the invite, next trip for sure! See you later in Asuncion and Mulege, amigos. Remember to take time and smell the
lavender....

Cypress, this particular fig's location is too obscure, I'm afraid. So I'm disqualifying it for the photo quiz.
Good answer on the fig part, though.

Just came back from the river, Sharks. Sorry to be so late in answering your good choice. Burro Beach iit is..although it looks a mite different
today compared to that 1981 photo. Not too much was built then at Burros Beach except some ramshackle palapas...the kind we all liked.
The couple is on the way to view some well-known petroglyphs on that hillside.
Anyway, you have answered this photo quiz question and you should win some kind of prize. How about some salmon fillets?..walleye?..Rocky Mountain
oysters?

5. Rock Piles
I was out dove hunting one day and came across some piles of rocks. Very meticulous endeavor. I liked the look of them and took some photos. Care
to guess or explain what they are used for?
"A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral." ..nice
quote, eh?
I have to admit, though, the moment I saw those piles of rocks, I thought.."Wow, Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris! No, wait..that's a dead ringer for
Winchester Cathedral in London!"..uh, yeah..sure I was.
In reality I was thinking..."Hey, lookit those piles of rocks."

Those rock piles are actually...
...all that's left of the foundation for a hidden V-2 rocket launching site built during the mid-40's by noted rocket scientist Wernher Von Bomb...
The Germans were planning on powering their rockets with an experimental fuel refined from local shell fish - you can see the shell remains in your
photo...in fact you can find many large piles of shells in locations all around Baja, more evidence of the large amount of sea critters needed for
this WWII secret project...
Fortunately for us above the border, the fuel conversion process was never a success, as the locals would 'dip' into the large vats of steaming shell
fish for lunches and dinners before the elixir could be distilled...
According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,
\"It doesn\'t use numbers or moving hands It always just says now...\"
