El Cardoncito geocache


A small anchorage, Cardoncito, on Isla Partida, provides Marv a geocaching opportunity. There is a fresh-water well here, a line scrabbled on the ground next to it that you can use to lower your bucket. You compete with the bees that use this fresh water, too. They don't bother you...just circle and sip. Our water tanks were filled, so we didn't need to sample the well.


The beach is small and the arroyo rising up from it rocky. Marv fills in the geocache log...a "first-to-find" while Patti looks on. It took three of us to find this one, high above the well.


Marv and I went a quarter mile further up the arroyo to find the second cache, tucked under a rock just off the "trail." One uses that term loosely in these parts.


A tortuous agave plant found along the trail from El Cardonal anchorage across the island to the eastern shore.
