1:50 .....DEJA VU! I remember that! The road from Magdalena to Cucurpe, 1976. One of those landscapes that you never forget. I hope while you were in the region, you got to sample some bacanora, best moonshine on the planet, made from a small blue agave they call "lechugilla" but it's not the green vertical spiky lechugilla. I love rock gardens!......... also in 1976 did a lot of ecological research in a little canyon in Tucson Mountain Park, it was just off of Gates Pass road but you couldn't see it from the road. Amazing, maybe 5 miles from downtown Tucson and virtually no sign of human activity, no beer cans, nothing. Had the place to myself and the deer herd that liked the seclusion and the CCC watering holes constructed in a little side canyon. ......I was impressed at how many different ferns there were, growing up in California I thought of ferns as being plants of wet places. Also at least two species of wild onion, another plant I hadn't expected to find in the desert. During '76-77 I was also becoming an expert on jojoba, plant density and seed yield in relation to precipitation and also the amount of labor needed to harvest wild stands. All on my own, no college education but I learn better in real classrooms than artificial ones. There were narcos even back in 1976, over toward Arizpe. They didn''t know who we were and damaged the road expecting that my 2-wheeled truck would not be able to proceed. Didn't directly threaten us though, why make enemies unnecessarily? Well, I had the best driver on the planet, he could get that truck damn near any place you could get a Jeep and some places you couldn't. We got through. When they saw we got through we stopped to chat. "Really good truck you've got there !" Arturo: "It's not the truck, it's the monkey behind the wheel." They figured out that we weren't there to mind their business, just some guys going to do a bit of gold mine development work. Never had any problem with the narcos after that.
