Guess where in Baja (Geologic formation)
Be specific (place has two names, either is acceptable)...
Photos have appeared on Nomad and are in my web site.
Many Nomads where there a couple years ago (you guys hold back your answers)...
Here is the newest photo taken this year at the bottom... below is the one taken showing a friend there in 1978...

Here's GeoRock describing what we are looking at...

The place with all the rocks?
Specifically - just a little west of the east edge of the southernmost north rim...or thereabouts.

Hint #2... The name is of a canyon or pass that crosses a small mountain range. The geologic formation is about midway through this canyon/pass.

----this is strickly a guess (actually 2 guesses)----------is it along the Matomi Canyon, like in the narrows?? or in Canada el Parral where it
crosses the Sierra San Felipe??
It looks vaguely familiar, but I cannot specifically place it.

I remember it well. Georock explained how these formations occurred. Very interesting... and on the way to Matomi falls!

Actually I knew that.
It just doesn't rhyme with 'elementary' very well.
Sometimes I think DavidK is like baja's Sherlock Holmes out there.
