hi Jeff: THAT IS ONE ROUGH ISLAND, HIGH MTS ETC. alive with snakes, and the Series haven't eaten anyone lately according to Gov't / and my personal knowledge. I have many friends among the Seris. The jefe (chief) is a woman about twice my size heheh. An Army garrison is on the island mostly to keep visitors away since it is a protected island, national heritage site, No permit, no landing.

As far as the sea treasures go, the island is surrounded by the most violent and vicious currents imaginable Diving can be done, but it is very risky in certain areas. The area between the island and the mainland is called "Sal si puedes" get out if you can" . It is loaded with sailing ship wrecks that learned this the hard way. The entire gulf waters surge though the narrow opening with the daily tidal change. It creates enormous whirpools, currents etc. Why the LORD invented Helicopters snicker.

San Estaban is also out of bounds.

Mexico owns the entire gulf of California or Sea of Cortez.

I know of a fantastic Gold placer there, but nothing can be done right now.

p.s. The Tiger sharks reach white shark size and eat anythng livng or dead. . Also the giant squid there will attack, some run to over 6 ft. Good eating if you win.

Sounds like a Fun Place Don.

Although I would have Thunk the Seris would have Become Extinct by Now.
If Not by Civilization; by Eating Each other

There is an old saying; 'Don't order rabbit in mexican restaurants...they have long tails' (El Gato - the alley cat)

Therefore, I wouldn't be ordering carne asada on Tiberon Island, or any meat dish, for that matter

 

[Real de Tayopa Tropical Tramp]

Nah Jeff , not as bad as a couple of treasure hunters that have found a large cache heheheh

Stefan tastes just like prime pork . heheheh

p.s. An extreme;ly good book on the Tiburon and Sea of Cortez is exactly that "SEA of CORTEZ" . try your local library.. If you are a fisherman you will not put it down.

The Adventurous part of My Brain says,
I want to Sneak in there and find the Lost Temple of Skulls.
But the Common sense part says, I wouldn't Survive
Checking Priceline.com for air fare to get close :P

Ahhh ! Gotta let that to the Movies

By the way, there are no Chihuahua dogs left on the island...mosquitos have carried all of them off

 

[Real de Tayopa Tropical Tramp]

p.s. San Estaban is my choice for $$$$$,

The modern Seri is no olonger nomadic. They now raise their meat, no, not a well fattened gringo, but moo cows. They have cars, outboard motor comb of 145 hp and even an airplane. they cater to the tourists with beautiful ironwood carvings and baskets.

I have a hawk and a duck about 18 " high, each carved from ironwood. The experts cannot agree on a basic price on them, other than mucho $$$$. They are perfect in the most minute detail, fantastic. The hawk has his wings half spread looking down, and the duck is looking up over it's shoulder. They were a gift to me from the Seris. .

Don Jose de La Mancha

p.s. no Jeff, I will not include them for you in my will, sorry.
