We went to the head of the lagoon where the irrigation canal begins and came back full circle into San Ignacio. We also went over to the west side where we climbed the big hill (and I was attacked by a cactus) back in November, but this time rode around San Lino (west side of town) and inspected the 3-foot high, 3-foot wide stone wall that is found on the west side of the river. (It looks like a long dark line on Google Earth, across the river from the Desert Inn where we stayed.) We took back roads from the west side all the way back to the Desert Inn again, crossing the river at the same spot that Kent, Otis Sr. and I did (after I had been half-baptized in Sidon!). It was very interesting to have covered so much ground with the ATV in a few hours in one day, but it gave me an appreciation of how much better we could get around using such vehicles.
We did not go further downstream before we decided to head back northward. Our brake problem that occurred last week meant that we skipped Bahia de los Angeles, so we decided to head back in that direction. Linda has been significantly traumatized by the narrow roads (not to mention my“inventive” driving), so we will not get over to Santa Rosalita or Loreto/San Javier this trip. However, I am determined to get their sometime in the next year . . .
Tomorrow we will get to Bahia and then down toward Bahia de Animus to look at a potential military outlook near the narrow neck. It was identified by the Erhle Stanley Gardner (the Perry Mason originator with a helicopter) group back in the 1960’s. Should be interesting.
