We reached some pools of water created by the newly constructed dam where I was pictured with Leidys. These pools of water prevented us from hiking
up the rocks, because we would have soaked our boots and this would have affected our ability to climb on the rocks to the larger pools of water. For
this reason, we chose to turn around. As it was 2:30 p.m., we think it was prudent that we walked out at that time rather than later...possibly with
wet feet.

Ken-------You are supposed to remove your boots, sling them around your neck, and put on your Tevas which you always carry in your backpack when
hiking up wild canyons, and forge ahead.

Not this time, Barry. Trips to the larger pools will have to wait for another adventure.
The road leading to La Bufadora leads through an agricultural region dotted with vacation homes and vacation lodging. The bay looks north directly to
Ensenada and the port which receives tourists who arrive in the La Bufadora tourist center by the busload.
Every Baja adventure must come to a close, and ours was now at its' end. Returning north included several stops along the way...Including this stop
on our way back to Ensenada.
This region made me think of this beach-inspired Ballaric tune.
At this junction, Leidys asked how far it would be for us to drive to see Ron Hoff and his family. She really is looking forward to visiting San
Quintin again.
After a brief dinner at the Downtown Tijuana McDonalds, Leidys and I walked the streets of Tijuana before going home.

Notice, the front license plate is missing. This is a result of the
washboard road near Hwy 5. The thing simply rattled off. We were not hassled because of this, but I plan on replacing the plate within the next
couple of weeks.
Leidys getting into the trail-worn, but reliable Jeep Rubicon.
What a beautiful and wild land. Your account surmises why we love it so.
One question: I know this was a rough and tumble trek, so how does Leidys manage to always look fresh & clean, stunningly gorgeous like she just
stepped out of the pages of the latest Cabela's Outfitters catalogue?

The answer to this question is simple: Leidys carefully screens her photos!
Mission Santa Maria (near Rancho Santa Ynez) and not a dot of persperation on a 93 deg.F day.
Ken did you recover the plate or you lost it.If you did they would not let you have the same plates..they told me that when I pick my personal places,
you have to come up with a new set of letters for the new plate.
