Oh boy, now I will be looking for it on our way down. Can you give a hint? Left or right side, going north or south?
I will be on the look out for it. That and bike riders.

That's a very good omen, Shari.
For you, Juan, and Sirenita (the tail comes to 3 points). However, one will be particularly favored. Probably Juan. It is a whale after all.

OK...first hint...it is between ensenada and bahia asuncion on the left if you are coming south but I dont think you can see it from the highway. I
will give a prize to the first nomad who spots it.

nah, probably something lame like all the abalone and lobster you can eat, washed down with all the pitahaya margaritas you need.
if THAT doesn't cover the desert with cactus hounds, THEN the fishing trip might get thrown in...

Talked with a Ranger in Arizona who was out taking pictures of a cactus that looked liked that.
When I asked what he was doing, he said those type of cactus are so rare and valuable, that they photograph them and tag them. They also mark their
location with a GPS receiver.
Because the one we were looking at was in National Forest, granted it was a cactus forest, he said that landscapers will come in with a spade truck
and night and steal them.
Said they tracked one all the way to Vegas where they fined the company that had paid something like $15,000 for it
Then arrested the company that planted it for them. I think it's called a Crown Cactus or something like that and is really rare.
Cool photo though
