Nuevo Mazatlan in Aug, 1977

Camping with my girlfriend Cassy, in my new Subaru 4WD wagon. I had a Jeep Cherokee Chief previously, which replaced my Myers Manx in 1975.

Mar., 1978 on Shell Island

Finally found a way to get on the island at low tide. That Subaru was a super sand bug (tires at 10 psi)! With such a beautiful beach usually all to myself, I began camping there. Access is about 4 miles north of Nuevo Mazatlan. Today, that's at km. 26.

Aug. 1979 Matomi Canyon Oasis

Even in the burning heat of summer, Matomi Canyon offers refreshment. David K (age 21 ) takes the plunge! This is about 40 (4WD) miles southwest of Nuevo Mazatlan.

Dec., 1982 El Parral Canyon

My second 4WD Subaru entering the canyon from the east, about 2 miles south of the sulfur mine.
