Most excellent to hear Neal and Marian are joining the group! 
Out of curiosity, is anyone bringing their youngins' or know of anyone coming who is? My copilot is the ripe old age of 5 and it would be great to
have someone else his age making the trip.

The night before Matomi #2 (2004) at our campfire in Nuevo Mazatlan, Mexray had a TV/ VCR and battery power that allowed us all to watch El Camote's
video of Matomi #1 (2001). 18 minutes of fun film with music and interviews and Neal Johns' slides of the canyons near Diablo where he and Marion
went.
Perhaps if Baja Warrior has that abilty at his place, where you all will be the night before, it would be fun to see how this thing got started? If
Camote isn't going to be at Warrior's until the next morning, I could loan Warrior a copy... Let me know Chuck.
Matomi 2001 members included: El Camote, Amo Pescar, jeans, elgatoloco, Westy, BajaBoy, Neal Johns, Mexray, Mike Humfreville, L.N. (Elena la Loca),
Wild Bill... and my kids & I.

We have TV/DVD/VCR/SAT in both houses, sounds like a blast! Hey David, bum a ride south because BajaRob is looking for a co-pilot..
Plus, I noticed none of your maps don't reflect Quartz Mountain on the Huatamote, I have a copy of Bruce Barbers map of the San Felipe desert down at
the beach house. All of the points of interest are noted on it. I meant to bring it home this past trip...
EDIT: For DavidK answering my question in other Map forum, thanks...

Here is the reply to Baja Warrior from the other thread:
Okay Chuck, as I suspected... it is in Bruce's book on page 211! The answer is no, I have not been on either Chanate or Huatamote arroyos as they were
not 'roads' back in the days I did my extensive mapping 30 years ago.
Bruce calls Caņada el Parral (Azufre Wash): 'Crazy Horse' Canyon in his book because of the twists and turns in it.. Great book of information on the
San Felipe area canyons and geology sites... it is just hard to follow with the way it was edited. I still recommend any San Felipe area off roader/
explorer get it for the details.
===========================================================
Chuck, check your u2u about the Matomi Movie

David, got the U2U and replied, thankyou. Are you going to Grahams Power Point Presentation in El Cajon Wednesday? We're gonna try to make it, but
should be there, please drop off the vid. as pre-arranged, by now you know we are close to I-5 and Sea World Dr. and just below Discover Baja
Headquarters.
To all involved on the Trail Ride:
I'm doing a 3 day solo trip this weekend, a recon mission you might say, covert of course, well except for this broadcast.
I will be leaving on Friday and returning on Monday evening so I will be out of touch for the weekend.
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

Yeah, Lou. In fact, I took the coordinates from my etrex from that trip and put them in Google Earth today. Looks pretty dry this year. Teina
should be happy.

No, I have enjoyed it many times already and need to go downtown San Diego tomorrow mid-day (an appointment and an irrigation check up/estimate...
back home to Oceanside before traffic time).
I will bring the Matomi Movie where you u2u'd me to... Have fun watching all of us back in 2001... El Camote did a fantastic job! Anybody needing a
professional video done for your business... contact El Camote!

Pre-Run
today. Chuck ( Baja Warrior ) will be here shortly and we will survey the route this morning. Hell of a time to be on a diet. I filled my desert
cooler with bottled water instead of XXs.

Well folks, it looks like the weather (huh?) here in SoCal has gotten the best of our plans.
My construction site in Rancho Sante Fe is still in the grading process with 4 large retaining walls built last week to move towards completion of
grading.
We were only able to get them partially water proofed before the rain hit on Friday, which means we were not able to backfill them.
A site check on Saturday morning found a huge mud bog with mud and standing water washed down along most of the incomplete retaining walls.
This all equals days lost cleaning things up that will have to be made up when we can.
I have to commit my Presidents day weekend and Monday off to the make up period, weather (huh?) permitting.
BajaLeti and I will be a no show for Matomi 
I'll look forward to the report from you all.

El Cajon Canyon is beautiful... it's all walking, but once inside the canyon along the creek, you would never guess you are in the Baja desert!
Some faint petroglyphs/ pictographs are under a big boulder you walk past as you enter the canyon and up on the cliff, north side at the entrance to
the canyon. http://vivabaja.com/404
Burro Bob lives at the entrance to El Cajon Canyon (or did in 2004)... Anyone hear from him lately?

Great Lou
Chuck and I stopped by your place Saturday on the way out of Valle Chico. I had forgotten that you were in NM. Look forward to seeing you and your
troops.
