Episode 5: Trail of Missions Recon 2019 (Playa San Bruno, Bahía Concepción, Volcán Trés Virgenes)
In this final episode of our recon trip, see Bahía Concepción and Mark & Olivia's Playa Buenaventura restaurant plus we go to the geothermal
plant at the Trés Virgenes volcano and visit the eco-lodge there.
Cameron also shows some of the scenes involving the camera guys (Sasha and Jimmy), the number of takes to do an intro or break, and what a little of
what Baja means to me... then a look at a future project...
It shows some of the passion that Cameron and I share for the wonders of Baja California. Ever since his first Trail of Missions (2014) he has come to
me for ideas and location assistance plus using my book. Many of his location ideas came from my Baja Bound Travel Adventure articles, as well: https://www.bajabound.com/bajaadventures/bajatravel/

DK - I've become increasingly aware of both of your efforts as I've transitioned from appreciating Baja as a fly-in tourist to more of an overland
explorer and really dug into researching off-road options. It's really cool to see the two of you working together on projects.
...so I did some digging on Google Earth on your descriptions of some of the earlier days of the recpn trip and put together these routes to Mission
Guadalupe de Huasinapí and Cueva de San Borjita (see pic below). ...and hey I figured out how to downsample and crop to get below the photo
restrictions...
Now I'm trying to find the area where the San Bruno ruins are. Google Earth / Maps keeps pulling up the San Bruno between Punta Chivato and Eijdo San
Lucas. Is this the right area, or should I be digging elsewhere for another San Bruno?
Found it. Realized there's a second San Bruno to the S. This is quite near one of the beaches we're planning to camp at for a couple of days so I'll
likely get a chance to hike up to check out those ruins.
"If it were lush and rich, one could understand the pull, but it is fierce and hostile and sullen.
The stone mountains pile up to the sky and there is little fresh water. But we know we must go back
if we live, and we don't know why." - Steinbeck, Log from the Sea of Cortez
"People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care." - Theodore Roosevelt
"You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who they think can do nothing for them or to them." - Malcolm Forbes
"Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others
cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you." - Jim Rohn
