Kudos on the great article in the September issue of Off Road! Nicely written by Scott and gives the flavor of the area for the adventurer in contrast to the dark side as represented in NG Adventure this month. Don't get me wrong, I think both views are important and it is important that people travel informed.

I picked up a copy of NG Adventure for the flight down to Purta Vallarta, and also read the article. Very interesting contrast to the article Scott wrote for Off Road. And, great write up also Scott. I did learn in reading the NG article that O´Niell was the first person to ever drown in that area. Apperently, he drown while trying to round up a heard of burro´s after a heavy rain strom and fell face down into a pool of mud and drown. Don´t know actually how factual this is, but interesting none the same.
The little guide book/pamphlet that they give you when you register for your permit says that O'neill was drunk and fell/passed out into a watering trough and drowned.:friday: Or at least that's what I remember reading!
Either way, amazing to drown in the middle of the desert.

Way to go, Chris. This shot is PERFECT:
It's not a fancy sunset shot, but photographing the tinajas is tough; you've got to have a person in it to help display the size of those things. The exposure damn nice.
Vince ought to be pleased to have this picture of him on the 'net:
Stuffing his face
I wonder where I can get this hat:
He's a cute old guy, makin' them young girls cry.
Seriously: nice photos. Thanks

Nice photos, Chris!
It was sweet of you to include a shot of Mark's Antichrist Nissan, so he won't feel lonely.
