En route, one rig ( a 45 ft long rig ) lost an airbag, and then got stuck in the sand by the side of the road. An 18-wheeler sans trailer stopped to pull him out - It took 5 tow straps and 2 attempts to succeed. A fun thing to do on the only road. Traffic was interesting!! - but in Mexico, if you stand on or by the side of the road and wave your arms or piece of fabric, they slow right down and stop. Most of us had continued on to the next Pemex to get out of the way.
T
wo osprey nests complete with birds and babies were right there.. Apparently, the ospey were nesting on the hydro poles, and when the company started to knock them down ( power outages ), the Mexicans insisted that they put up Osprey nesting poles. So now the Guerrero Negro valley has a very high osprey population.
The flowers in Catavina were wonderful.
