Pinacate The Mysterious

Pinacate the Mysterious -- Exploring The Pinacate, as one of the driest and last explored regions of North America, has been the goal of explorers through the ages. In 1907, at the end of the "Age of Discovery," a group of men set out on the last grand adventure, to explore what they believed to be the final, great unknown surface on the planet. This group of sportsmen, photographers, lawmen and writers intended to write a book about their experience in this harsh, unmapped environment. This program recreates the expedition and corrects some of their impressions. Unbeknownst to them, humans have lived in and around the Pinacate for ages and live there still.
