| 4x4abc Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: La Paz, Baja California, Mexico Vehicle(s): 02 G500  | Las Tarambillas revisited one year after our first epic west-east crossing of Baja California I revisited the east side of the Las Tarambillas canyon. There was new mining activity at the beginning and some sign of a hunting camp right before the oasis. Past that not a single tire track visible - only tracks of mountain lion, big horn and deer. Recent rain has added a lot of new growth. In parts the trail can only be located if you have been there before. A friend and I hiked as far as the big cave with pool about 12 miles in. We found 3 recent mountain lion kills on our way. And the water present in the pools (we had a good rain about 5 weeks ago) were mosquito heaven. Nasty buggers! As an interesting note - it is amazing how we can re-connect to our genetic imprints from times long past. I hear and see things in the wild that surprise me. Not a single trip where I don't find Indian tools. This time I found a beautiful and unusual tool (no clue what it was used for - unlike the many arrow heads I find). Well, I found a nice head as well. It was a beautiful sunday afternoon adventure. I was glad to see that not a single soul had been in this beautiful canyon since we had left about a year ago.

Alan, it is fairly close to the site were this picture was taken on our trip. Just another canyon parallel to the one we crossed - I believe (Hi or Low by H Pietschmann.jpg) Attachments ---------------- Hi or Low by H Pietschmann.jpg (175KB - 0 downloads) | |
