Is there anything in La Poma? I've only ridden in there one time to see an old timer that was building a boat, so I don't know much about the area?

La Poma in March 2017:
Tarps are added to the frames when campers arrive.
Good food!
Halibut dinner... almost more than I could eat!

On the map!
It is the name of the little island on the back side of Isla San Luis... directly east of Campo La Poma...

 no doubt....the urban dictionary says.....Lencho
a male that is/acting gay, queer, or homo.
Stop being a lencho.
That guy is dressed like a lencho.
Tyson is the biggest lencho of them all.
like Jerry and George said "not that's there's anything wrong with that"
my point is don't take the spanish language too seriously.....right?

Looks like there is also at least one house there that they rent. The tents look interesting.

I've been to Las Palmitas and hiked the arroyo. Do you know if camping is allowed at Las Palmitas? Nice place with the spring water and all. Looked
like someone was living there at one time.
Exercise regularly. Eat sensibly. Die anyway.

Last report is the spring has been surrounded by a fence to protect the water quality from animals. This was what I saw in 1999 and when I returned a
few years later. A pipe brought the water out to a trough for the cattle.
This is on the El Camino Real so it served the European travelers as far back as 1767... and of course, the Natives for thousands of years before!
Mission Santa María was moved from Calamajué on May 26, 1767. The Jesuits went up the canyon, as did Franciscan Junípero Serra. The canyon route
was so dangerous that Serra ordered a better route be made. That is the one shown on my map, which stays out of the canyon, up on the north rim.

It is Sunday and back at EDR, from Rancho Grande, Alphonsinas, Santa Maria wash trip. Its crazy everywhere around Gonzaga. All the palapas and
trailers, hotel rooms are booked. Good thing we have plenty of friends in this area. Stayed on the beach next to Rancho Grande and all night long,
loud music, race cars and drunks. Mexicali moved to Gonzaga. Waiting a few weeks then go back. Trip report to the Oasis later.

Found a house. I agree with rancho grande. Was there a few weeks ago and it was packed can’t understand why people have to blare their music until 3
am. I guess I’m just getting old.
Getting there is ALL the fun!
Ok being here is fun to

The miracle of siesta!
You pull into a campground, or beach some where in the afternoon, and things are usually pretty quiet, even if crowded.
Honoring the tradition of siesta, many folks have their main meal of the day in the afternoon, and then they lay back an nap through the heat of the
day.
By the time my day is done and I am looking forward to sleeping, they are just getting started! I have no explanation for why the volume has to be so
loud though.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!
