Chip Kessler Road trip to Cabo Pulmo Baja |
|
After dropping my youngest off at the University of Redlands in SoCal I just keep going south. A friend recently purchased a Casa in Cabo Pulmo, 30 miles up the Sea of Cortez from Cabo San Lucas. Hurricane Henrietta blew thru while I was there. The Casa is for rent, the entire town is off the grid, all solar powered and drinkable tap water straight down from the hills. Chip Kessler |

| This is a shot of me and friends on
the White Salmon River near Hood River, Or. The rapid
is called Rattlesnake. It's the smaller rapid after
Husum Falls. Husum Falls is a 12' falls that's run
a lot during the summer. I spend a lot of time here. |

Mt Rainer in an area called rim rock |
This is the biggest
animal I have ever come across while hunting.
He came off Mt Rainer in an area called rim rock.
That is just out of Nachez Wa. I submitted for
tags three years in a row to get drawn for big
branch bulls.In the years I didn't get drawn I
could still hunt the area for spike only,that gave
me
a chance to learn the terrain and scout the area.
I used my dirt bike to travel to the trail head
from camp, then hiked in a couple of miles to set
a stand .It was about 11 o'clock when I shot him.
I had been lying under a tree for 4 hours before
he showed up It took me two days to pack him out,and
two days to cut and wrap the meat for freezing.
This was a very tough old guy and he took some
special cooking to get tender. I should have turned
more into hamburger. I really enjoyed having him
around for the winter.
