Hi Jose,
Anytime during the day would be great as Shell Island is only three miles to the North from us. Also, the Sulphur Mine is only 4 miles to the West of
us so maybe we can check that out too.
So get there and we'll figure out who else is coming and we'll get it done.
Today is Thursday and I'm leaving for our Beach House tomorrow morning and won't be back until Sunday night so I'll be off line 'till then.
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

Sulfur (Azufre) Mine 'El Apache'
There is a lot to see and poke around in the 2 mile long valley and side gullies...

Sorry about that Neal - at least it wasn't as bad as the flood in Lytle Creek in 36 or so.
We'll miss you on the run.

I think since you live in such a dangerous location... what with the annual fires and floods in Lytle Creek, you should bring you books down here for
safe keeping!! 
(I am glad the house and you both are fine)!!

Sulfur mine area is cool
I was told about this place a long time ago....and that it had "yellow rocks" that one can set on fire! So we go and explore.....
And set fire to a rock! Yes...it will catch on fire. Don't breath the fumes though.
The kids went ape when they saw this.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Jose, sounds good. I was hoping to get out to the Sulphur mine but since DK has posted such detailed photos of the area there's not much else to see.
Hopefully he wont post any more photos of Shell island so there is still something left to the imagination...
I was considering a trip to Cabo this spring but can't afford the fuel cost, would you have detailed photos of Cabo as well so I don't have to leave
my living room?

It still doesn't come close to being there... you see so much more... as well as feel, hear, smell... all things a photo can't give you.

Show up in a 4WD or Baja Buggy
Baja Warrior has a home in Playa Hermosa section of Bahia Santa Maria (Km. 31 south of San Felipe)... where most will start from. Camping nearby at
Nuevo Mazatlan (Km. 32) or out on Shell Island (Km. 26), or ???

I wish!
I have to make some dinero before I can reward myself with another trip to Baja!
It isn't looking real good, so please go and have a great time . Then, please post photos and tell us all about it!
Next best thing to being there!
==============================================================
If anyone in San Diego County would like their sprinkler system fixed, upgraded to modern water saving devices, or needs a new one installed... Please
contact me!!
(Amigos, sorry for the shameless plug... but after 30 years of success in this field, I have never seen things so bad and I am maybe too old to learn
a new trick?)
