1985
La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico
8 May 8.1 mi N Buena Vista. Then, nothing until
El Triunfo. Between here and San Pedro we
picked up the usual: Hypsiglena, Leptotyphlops,
Chilomyscus and Trimorphodon. It's still cool
at night and must be early in the season for
about half the species.
La Paz to Isla Cerralvo, Baja California Sur, Mexico
9 May We drove out the road to San Juan de los
Planos on B.C. 13, then turned left on the
road to El Sargento which comes from San Antonio.
The road first comes to La Ventura, 3 km before
El Sargento. I mistakenly thought I was at
the latter and tried in vain to get a boat
for less than 15000-18000 pesos. When I
learned where I was, I drove on and found a
boatman in his house on the beach. His name is
Mario Ramon -- he offered to take us for
5000 pesos. Two places described to me sounded
especially good: Los Viejos, a long sand beach; and
La Estacion, a long beachhead which is the mouth
of a long, wide canyon. I chose to visit
La Estacion. The ride, on 55 hp motor, was
about 30 minutes, twice the distance (in time)
to Isla San Marcos from San Bruno with a 55 hp.
We arrived prior to sunset which was incredible.
Paris spent this time photographing in the unusual
light conditions, while hiked through the
