Buenas noches,
GO SEAHAWKS !!!!!
Happy Birthday Nick. Hugs
Saturday we drove from SanQuintin to Catavina (Cat-ah-VEE-nya). The desert country around Catavina is known as the Sonora Desert Vegetation Region. The desert is filled with granite boulders and in between them grow a variety of cacti; the cirio or boojam tree they look like upside down big green carrots, huge cardons, barrel cactus, chollas and agaves .
We stayed in a room at Rancho Santa Ines. Matilda makes a great taco and breakfast. Met Gary from Bozeman Mt riding his motorcycle and out for a few weeks.
Sunday morning after breakfast went for a hike thru the boulders and cacti. It was incredible!!! The boulders are huge. Then off to Guerrero Negro (Gerr-RER-row NEH-row). The 28th   is the dividing line between the state of Baja and Baja South.  Guerrero Negro is one of the newest towns on the Baja and is a company town. Founded on 1955 the town owes its existence to the  Exportadora Salt. Large flats near the town are flooded with seawater which quickly evaporates leaving salt.  This is gathered up using heavy equipment and shipped on barges to Isla Cedros offshore where there is enough water to allow cargo ships to dock. More recently the town has gained fame for the gray whales going into the bay.
Tomorrow off to spend a few days beach camping, whale watching, kayaking  and enjoying .
Hugs to all
Adios.... Until the next time
Jon, Cindy and Mr Monkey
