Of interest
I have never seen Calamity in such a clean condition. The flooding really opened it up. The race after the flooding did little harm.
BTW, INEGI calls the canyon Las Cuevitas, which would be the official name.
Anyway the driving track is a far cry from when is was first opened up to vehicle travel back in 2011-12 if I remember correctly?

Thanks Paul... Yes, these names used by Wornout come from Bruce Barber and his book on the interesting canyons and places near San Felipe. I believe
it was Bruce who began these tours, then it was Baja Lou, and now Wornout?

Places near San Felipe
Finding places
Bruce led trips for years for the retirees group in San Felipe. Now Wornout has continued the trips.
Wornout and Lou Wells did much of the place research. Most of the trip locations were documented by Lou Wells included that info for his book. Thus we
have place locations from two sources.
Lou's Community Walk link is gone but I archived the KML file for viewing.
Click on the waypoints to see if Lou left some history.

Names used for the locations came about and Bruce promoted the local names. Then along came GPS usage and the racers started using the names from the
Mexican INEGI topo maps. Anyway the local names are still commonly used, but for find them on the maps one needs to use the INEGI name.
My arroyo writeup documents the numerous names for most all of the washes.

Pretty interesting beginnings of offroad in N Africa, and great read.

There will be no run this Friday, as it is during the San Felipe 250 pre-race day.
