Catavina personalities
That pink motel is owned by the managers of Rancho Santa Inez, the couple hotel rooms at the ranch are pretty rough too. Do you know Marv Patchen'
who's got a tiny cabin near the runway? Ralph and Pat who live up behind the ranch house? Wonder how they are doing, haven't been by in a couple
years. Marv wrote a couple Baja adventure books and one about the cabin he let anybody/everybody stay in. He was getting in in years and frail last
time I hiked with him, Dec 2007.
PS - That begger guy joined us on a picnic/nap stop and would not stop talking. Fed him lunch. When we said "bye-bye" it's our nap time, he berated
my cooking (quesadillas.)

this is fascinating.
can any mental wonks/pros here chime in on what exactly this disease he has is?
is is schitzophrenia or some other dementia? i am simply curious.
it reminds me of the character in the recent movie Jamie Foxx played who had similar behavior as far as i can interpret.

Could be schizophrenia, dillusional. Could be drug warped. Could be many things. No problem as long as he's harmless.

Been through Catavina several times in the last 3 years, and never missed seeing him. He named M&M's after Marilyn, a couple other candy bars as
well. Dillusional at best, flat out loonie tunes most likely! Hard life living there on bummed pesos. Last time through I gave him a buck and a cold
soda. Great photo trip, Thanks!!

Thanks Roger for such a grand and graphic tour. The standing rocks area is one of our most favorite campiing spots while traveling. If a person takes
the time to follow some of the dirt tracks that go west, some go for 3/4 of a mile or so, and you will find your own personal little amphitheater.
Away from the hi-way and if the moon is near full one can climb to the top of some of the higher rocks and have a most amazing expierience. Thanx
again for such a wonderful photo tour. ++C++

Salud Pompano, you bring a wonderful Baja spirit to the table. We all enjoy dining there.
Speaking of the vado north of Catavina, does anyone remember seeing a Porsche 911 Carrera in the wash next to the vado? Time frame somewhere between
79-81. What a strange site that was for several weeks.

Wiles,
I don't remember the Porsche, but do you remember the DeLorean in the wash just north of the San Fernando Velicata ruins - El Pregreso region, about
10 mi. north of Quayaquil? The car was in the wash on the west side of the road for the longest time.

They don't rust.
On edit: Serious, it looked as if it was heading north, missed the very sharp turn or over corrected and hit the hard 90 left into the arroyo. Of
course it was stripped instantly and over the years it sank deeper and deeper into the sand. At one point it was gone, probably collected during the
dead car body clean up that happened a few years back.

Well yes Paulina, I do remember that DeLorean, stainless steel skin and all.
Speaking of DeLorean, In 1982 he was held for a short time in the Terminal Island Federal Pen located in the Los Angeles Harbor awaiting trial for
drug smuggling. At the time I was an on board marine sciences instructor for the LA County School System and we would drag an otter trawl within
the restricted zone adjacent to the prison twice a day collecting specimens. It was fun to point out who was behind the barbed wire to the visiting
teachers and parents. They thought it was really cool.
