Here's what Palmilla looked like about 33 years ago. This was just before I made my second Baja dirt strip landing (a few hours after the first one
in Mulege).

Unless you know someone who has a place at Palmilla........and then the beer is free!Russ - 1-20-2007 at 08:44 PM
My first trip down the Baja was in '68 and I have no photos and CRS. So that does flash back to some very good times. Cold beer was a treat.Crusoe - 1-22-2007 at 09:50 AM

My first trip across the Mex. border was 1974.... and 18 yars old!
Mmmmmmm, those first sights, sounds, tastes, and experiences....
Now I am going to tap my heels together 3 times and say "there's no place like home". . . .
Good to have these well-worn memories.... and good to have the opportunity to still create new ones!
Thanks for the photo and the call for reminiscing

I was in tourism school in La Paz during that time and I remember the sign as you entered Cabo San Lucas said 800 habitantesDavid K - 1-22-2007 at 11:56 AM
The road to (Cabo) San Lucas was a single track dirt (not graded) road when I first went there, in 1966... The new, graded road south of La Paz had
reached San Bartolo that year... It was paved for about 10 miles out of La Paz.SiReNiTa - 1-22-2007 at 01:10 PM
