Beautiful. but I can't find La Rumorosa on the map? Where is this?
I love the desert and my GF and I are taking a trip and will be driving from Tijuana to Sonoita and stopping in Guadalupe Canyon to camp. I can't wait.
La Rumorosa is officially part of Tecate, I think. It is between Tecate and Mexicali. The colonia or village or whatever it is called La Rumorosa is on top of the mountain and the descent (very steep and spectacular) from there to the desert floor is also called La Rumorosa. It is before Lago Salada, a large dry lake much like the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.
When will you be coming? I could arrange a stay at the campamiento with the Cucapah in Cucapah Mayor if it is between February and April, assuming you would like to support their fishing rights struggles. (Email me.)
I am a bookseller with about 20 years experience, having taken up the trade after retiring as a trial lawyer. I deal exclusively in books on Mexico & bullfighting. I am sole proprietor of my shop in Playas de Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. I am also the list owner for The Bibliophile Mailing List, an email discussion list of book dealers, collectors, librarians, & others interested in the book trade.
My unfulfilled ambitions are first, to play violin with such artistry as to make a Spanish Gypsy cry and second, to survive with grace in the arena with a full grown toro bravo.
