| Uncle Erle finds a new friend at a Baja rancho. Note the clever use of a truck tire for furniture! |

| T.V.'s Perry Mason income helped to bring helicopters into Baja, for writer Erle Stanley Gardner. |
San Francisco de la Sierra |
|
| Choral Pepper (wearing hat) stands with the young female inhabitants of this tiny village. Never before have these folks seen outsiders. A three day mule ride was (then) needed to reach San Ignacio from San Francisco de la Sierra. An auto road was constructed 20 years after Choral visited by helicopter. |
Mision San Borja |
|
| As seen by members of the Gardner party, 40 years ago. |
|
| Only the church ceiling had a collapse, otherwise San Borja was well preserved for the 150 years since it was abandoned. |
A favorite Gardner camp... |
|
| ... was here along the road to Bahia de los Angeles. Clockwise from left: J.W. Black, Erle Stanley Gardner, Ricardo Castillo, Bruce Barron, Jorge Yee, and Sam Hicks. Photo by Choral Pepper. |
