Trash from tsunami coming our way


This is an amazing article (and video model). All the trash/debri from the recent Japan tsunami could hit Hawaii in a year, the US coast in 3 years and eventually Baja before surging back over Hawaii again.

And, they say it will take may more years for it all to decompost in the ocean!! All the while, surging back and forth.

Can you just imagine what the coastline of Malarrimo will look like? WOW!

What a disaster!!!

AND ..................


According to a News Flash TODAY Radioactive FISH are swimming our way !

I'm not sure HOW they KNOW that, but it must be true.

Guys with Geiger Counters are following the Fishes ?

Just wondering, But ? "Maybe" they'll Die before they get to us ? Of course, they'd likely be eaten by OTHER Fish who would continue, THEN they'd be eaten, then .........

It's probably BEST to stay out of the water just in case. Who Knows ? Radiated Fish may turn "Rabid" (so to speak) and ATTACK !

Meanwhile, I read today of REALLY Terrible News resulting from the Sushi Shake and Surf.

Disney World is CLOSED !

Not enuf of dat Lectric stuff.

Just as well. What E-Ticket ride could compare to the BIG Wave ?

Mateo,

You got it. Dern said that it will have to be ultra military with only a 20 gal holding tank. We may all need one after dragging in all the treasures we find on the beach.

Firemood ?


Don't know what it's like today, but when I visited Malarrimo back in the 70s, Firewood (or Firemood as the sign outside San Felipe used to say) was in HUGE abundance.

Second in abundance were myriad U.S. Military Olive-Drab Plastic Containers.

It was clear how the U.S. Navy handled Waste-Disposal.

My neighbors at our campos, all had just gotten back from Malarrimo Beach last week. Said there are "crews" from the area towns doing routine savaging of the area. Being done day in...day out. Nothing left to be found.

I'm down. Let's go! I've been wanting to do a Malarrimo trip for years.

Sooo... the road in and out of there must be greatly improved! I can imagine that when some of this depris comes in in about 3 or 4 years that it will take more than just small "crews" from area towns to reap all the great savaging that will be available then.

Salvaging Nothing Left


When we first went to Malarrimo in 1976 there was no town and, for that matter, nobody along the way after you left the Rancho, BUT even in the Cliff Cross Baja Guidebook, he mentioned that permanent residents living in a camp down the beach would scour the area, especially after a storm, and retrieve anything of real value. The most valuable thing we found were those Japanese Glass Fish Floats. Could have filled a Semi-Trailer with those.

It was fun digging through the Crap, though. On a subsequent trip (in 1978), a friend brought back a load of Whale Bones (which mostly destroyed his roof rack) that are still in his front yard.

Try that today.
