Hot off the press! Lobsterfest in October in La Bocana!
We went to breakfast at the beach restaurant this morning. Wilmer, one of the managers, came over to chat. They are planning the first ever
LOBSTERFEST in La Bocana this October 20th.
I will provide more info as I hear about it but my place at the table is reserved. I love lobster - yummmmmmmmmmmm

Anybody have a photo of the runway?
I remember it right on the beach I think. Didn't look difficult.
Maybe a little windy.

I don't have a pic of the runway in Punta Abreojos, but I will be heading that way on Tuesday and can certainly take one.
TMW - it should be a lot of fun and of course, the first one ever is pretty cool event.

La Bocana is in Baja South.
The exit to our village is off highway 1 - exit to Punta Abreojos. This exit is after Vizcaino and before San Ignacio.
Once in Punta Abreojos (about a 1 hour drive), you turn right on Calle Miguel Dominguez.
All roads on the salt flat lead to La Bocana.
To find us: once in La Bocana, go to the main church on the square. turn rt, first left, first rt and look for the 2 story building on the right -
that is the hotel and there are signs!

With the above area described by Blanca, my regional map can help. The 52-mile highway to Abreojos and access on to La Bocana is at Km. 97+ between
Vizcaino (Km. 143) and San Ignacio (Km. 73).
ALL 30 of my 2018 Baja Maps are in a post in the Nomad Road Conditions forum. Here: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=88771

Would it be possible to make it from Punta Chivato to Punta Abreojos/La Bocana area via dirt/4 wheel drive roads/trails?
Always looking for the alternate route....
I like beer, better than most people.

Got my pilot medical cert. (physical).
So that runway is looking good!
I don't need know stinkin' picture.
I know the type. Call it a blind date.
A windsock will be helpful.

Not entirely in the dirt. Hwy to Mulege then dirt road west/southwest to the San Raymundo trail to the coast at La Ballena then north on, you pick em,
either the salt flat road or the high road to the paved road toward San Ignacio. You can cross over on the dirt road at El Alamo to San Angel and then
to the paved hwy to Punta Abreojos then north to La Bocana on the graded road. Enough dirt to make it interesting.
