I think it is wonderful that this museum was created!

One of the dreams for La Bocana was a Museum that would chronicle the development of fishing and scuba but it never happened. I collected quite a few items and donated to friends when we left.

It's in El Triunfo

El Triunfo also features a mining museum that opened fairly recently. It's located right next to a decent restaurant (Bar El Minero) and a wonderful cafe and bakery (Cafe El Triunfo). The town is well worth a day trip from Todos Santos or the East Cape.

I’d heard about the Vaquero Museum a short while back. I was planning on taking some of the clinic volunteers with me one afternoon to see the museum and have a vaquero style meal they supposedly serve there. Will report after.

Just remember to bring a cellphone. Tickets are sold online after scanning a QR code. The Ruta de Plata and The Vaquero Museums are both excellent and all displays are in English and Spanish.

On my first trip through Baja with my family, phone service was rare, and expensive. I made two calls back to Alaska over a month and a half period.

Luddites like me cherish the memories of how things were, over the progress that has whittled away at what it used to be.

Progress has lifted the standard of living for the citizens of Baja California, and I wish them well as they create opportunities for themselves and their families, but it saddens me to see that a "smart phone" may be a requirement for access to new developments!

Edited to fix the location!
