Three vehicle from Mexico's Fish & Game/EPA department were in Matomi to check on big horn sheep and other rare animals. The Chevy is stuck because a vacuum hose was bad and the 4 wheel drive didn't work. (David K)

I pause at the exact place where 26 years ago I was stuck in a rising Matomi river! See next photo... (David K)

My worst stuck, January 1978.. Returning from a failed attempt to reach Rancho El Matomi because of deep water, my 4WD Subaru is almost swept downstream. Airing down the tires saved me.

Rancho El Matomi

Nobody was home today, but someone was there recently. The path down to the waterfall fed pool is to the right. Photo looking west. (Mexray)

Behind the Matomi ranch house the 'oasis' pool is visible, way below. (Tunaeater)

Upstream from the pool (1/3 mile), running water exits from a narrow gorge. (David K)
