Back from la Bocana
Hi , board just got back from my mission site hunting and la Bocana de Santo Tomas trip. pretty nice place taking in consideration the 18 miles from
highway 1 is just all washboard, they charge $50 pesos per car for camping in la Bocana. wich concists on some small sand dunes on the south side
of the arroyo some cabins for rent. 4 miles north you can find puerto santo tomas very secluded, cabins are available for rent too.Latter I went
looking for the first site of the santo tomas mission and then to the second site inside el palomar rv park not much to see, tall grass coverts
everything,what a shame nobody cares about this historic sites y also visited san vicente ferrer ruins , what a difference from this site to the
others, this one is fund it by inah, I wonder who deccides witch sites are more important that others, I might spotted David's K. mighthy TACOMA on
the road to la bocana on friday I guess will find out latter when he gets back..

I guess you did!! We drove in to see the first site Friday morning, on our way to El Rosario... I didn't notice any other cars however... Sorry to
miss you!
To find the first site, go 3.6 miles from Mex. 1 towards Puerto Santo Tomas/La Bocana and take the left fork across the river and into a nice big
campground/park 3/10 a mile more... The low ruin is in the middle of the open area south of the oak trees...

That was really you
Yes David it was about 11.30 am you where on the south side (lower road) of the arroyo. I was driving in my red ram on the upper road going to La
Bocana, but didn't notice any stickers on the back glass or maybe I didn't see em thats why I tought it was somebody else. maybe next time. I did find
the first site on my way back to see the second one.
