I don't mind not being able to get to the photos...what I was referring to was the fact that they were taken on 8-19-04...some days yet to come...and
after reading all those ghost stories, and glowing men stories, and ufo stories...I was wondering if this was a little too scary for me!!!

Pictures
Barry A. They open instantly for me, these computers hate me so its a grimlin of some sort no doubt! Anybody else open them? Elizabeth?
Jesse, one of the new forum members (who has never been to Baja) says that there is no trash and what there is he is going to come down and teach
you Mexcicans to clean it up, he is bringing his 13 ton dump truck. Do you want a job as foreman?
Kidding aside ,all the communities from Agadones down to San Felipe are making a great effort to clean the hiways and the picture of the sign
prohibiting dumping just past the Airport Army checkpoint in SF is evidence of that and it is the American campos that have the biggest dumps south of
SF. The pictures are just evidence. It will be the newer generation that brings it under control.

The no dumping sign past the aiport has been there for some time (we saw it last year). What is amazing is the dump that used to be next to it is now
gone. People previously driving north have been tossing their trash and building materials at that spot for years. It must have taken months to move
the mountain of garbage from that location to wherever it went. Hats off ot the locals that made the effort to do the dirty work. Now if people
would just learn to "PACK IT IN AND PACK IT OUT" the improvements might just be more than a token achievement. I can actually envision a day when
the Mexican national bird is actually a bird and not a polyethylene bag caught in a dust devil...
Kudos to the folks in San Felipe that have made trash a big issue and done something about it!

All this work is making the place look great.
