Let's post some pics from Baja; Anything goes

In September 2019 we spent 4 days driving up Baja from Loreto, and did a stop at Coyote Cal's before crossing the border the next day.

At Beto's place in San Francisquito.

2016 vs. 1966

It is always fun to discover you took a photo where someone 50 years ago also did!

In this case, that someone was Erle Stanley Gardner in 1966, over on the Concepción Peninsula. The photo is in his 1967 book, Off the Beaten Track in Baja.

2016:


1966:


Almost the only difference I notice is I took the photo about twenty feet further from the water and the tide was higher in my photo. The gravel ridge and driftwood, indicating the high-tide-line, looks the same in both images.

Santa Rita

SW of Loreto

I camped on that very beach last Nov. Was a great camp spot! There was a fairly fresh big dead sea turtle on shore.

This picture is looking back to where you are standing for your picture (or maybe it's from where you are standing looking the other way?)

Since this photo was taken, this canyon was buried in rocks and mud:

In Loreto, this cracks me up:

On the Sea of Cortez, but not Baja. The entrance to the harbor at San Carlos, Sonora. About 80 miles across the SoC from Santa Rosalia.

I also happened to be there just before Thanksgiving! I did not camp there, it was just one of the spots I checked out on a ten day "drive about". Did you happen to notice an old guy in an Isuzu Trooper with a large, long legged, dark brown dog?

A seafood feast for Thanksgiving. Shrimp with garlic, fried shrimp, shrimp wrapped in bacon, crab tostadas, and clams.

Seeing a lot of non-Baja photos!??

San Telmo wash. Loreto after a hurricane and big rain and before global warming.

This truck was carried by the water from up the what was a dry wash.

Note how green everything is and now it is bone dry.

Yes, here on earth, we call that a higher tide... just wait a few hours.

There are a few rock climbing routes in Arroyo San Telmo (aka: Arroyo Las Parras). A few miles west of Loreto, off the paved road to San Javier.
