A dry year! If you need water, begin digging in the sand... That's how coyotes do it!
In Feb., 2003.. Neal Johns and Marian found Yubay VERY wet:
In July, 2001... this is how I found Yubay... low, but not dry:
I took photo from about the same place as Howard Gulick did 40 years earlier.

Anywhere in Baja that people (Indians, Spanish soldiers, missionaries, prospectors and travelers) have been to the past hundreds of years has a
magic-like feeling to me. Perhaps why I like visiting the missions and El Camino Real so much?

Another Gulick photo at Yubay, showing the fig tree there...
From Harry Crosby, at Yubay... (in the 1974 book 'The King's Highway in Baja California')...
From Arthur North, in 1906...
Where it is (north of the L.A. Bay hwy., about 7 miles east of Hwy. 1, then north)...

That is from the 1975 Baja California Guidebook by Walt Wheelock and Howard Gulick. It is the revised (and renamed) guide following the completion of
Hwy. 1 and other changes since the previous edition of the Lower California Guidebook (1967/1970).
It had a pocket in the back with three folded maps to cover the peninsula.

It was really an amazing visit for me .... reading about it here and there over the years, along with the history of the place - it was worth the many
miles of dirt roads to see.
