Baja Adventure April 2015


Better late than never, I guess. The wind was unbearable this year. My last night in a canyon the wind hit 30+mph. So, not as many pics as I would usually take.

Cardon flowers.


Yellow-footed gull.


Urinated on by a perro.


Splashing in Calamajue Canyon.


Camp at Bahia San Rafael.


Pictographs.


Senita, lagoon, Bahia San Rafael.


Rocky beach.


Another camp at Bahia San Rafael. As a buddy told me, "you can't have enough shade in the desert."


Grouper. It's what's for dinner.


What do they call a dead rabbit alongside the road?
Answer: A TV dinner. I kept telling this bird I wasn't dead yet.


Red volcano sponge.

Looks like you like it desolate! Thanks for taking us along. You have a cool camp set up with solar and shade. Nice photos. Looks like some fine hiking.

Gracias.

Not too many more. Let me go through the folders and see what I can find. These were what I already had up at Flickr.

Odile was pretty massive and a lot of the landscape has changed.

I always tell people not to go. Corrupt, military check-points with armed teenagers, the bugs, snakes, scorpions, rabid coyotes, lots of cactus spines, it's always unbearably hot, you can't drink the water, drug runners, the roads suck, desolate, and lonely.

That way it leaves more room for me. :P
