"For me,the rainbow represents the ultimate ephemeral experience. We don't go looking for them- they just appear. As we stare and wonder how and why, they may linger for a moment and then disappear as quickly as they came. That is what I like about nature in general and especially in the ecology of Baja. It's largely undeveloped and still wild interior and the unpredictabilty of life in the Sea of Cortez constantly beckons. Taking the same boat ride tomorrow, although little was seen today, may allow one to see manta rays, whale sharks, feeding finbacks, or any of the thousands of spectacular encounters possible. We are so fortunate that the original rainbow chasers like Erle Stanley Gardner, Ray Cannon,and John Steinbeck wrote about their travels and kindled the adventerous spirt in a small group of followers who are now trekking in their footsteps. Paved roads,GPS systems and state of the art 4X4 vehicles make it a little easier, but for those of us who really don't know any different, the allure of wild Baja is still there."
