That is great information. I had been informed by a very reliable source that Tony had put in those pisos.
Also I want to thank you for posting those beautiful pictures of Okies. I made almost the same shot even down to those rocks in the foreground.
Thanks. Pablo

Hi Patty.
That is the road to La Turquesa Canyon, and up to Highway One (for 4x4s). It passes the green pools and turquoise mine.
Here is the mine as it was in a 1970 Baja Guide (by Cliff Cross):
Las Arrastras is now the location of Coco's Corner

closes mine to Huerfanitos is the Miramar mine
on the Gulick map
I remember when it was last active it had a nice road branching off from the highway
there was either a guard or a gate

Yes, the Miramar placer mine is old. Recent flash floods have erased past diggings. 'bajarik' has YouTube episodes filmed there and you can read about
it in his book, The Gold Mines of Northern Baja by Jens Tobias (Rik's pen name).
