The thread about a $60k home reminded me of this photo. This should be very easy!

Somewhere near Santo Tomas?

tripledigitken - 6-26-2009 at 03:35 PM

Darn right it is, with a patio and overhead utilities, and very close to a paved road! Wouldn't expect you to know as this is fly over country for you Capt.

Not enough information can you be more specific?

fishbuck - 6-26-2009 at 03:38 PM

No, but I think I've seen that place before. Or a dozen like it.

YES you have!

Skipjack Joe - 6-26-2009 at 03:44 PM

It's right after Palomar going south.

BajaGeoff - 6-26-2009 at 03:47 PM

I think you are right Skipjack......near where the dirt road splits to get to either Punta San Jose or Punta Cabras?

tripledigitken - 6-26-2009 at 04:43 PM

Igor/Geoff,

Your not quite on it.

Closer to Colonet :biggrin:

fishbuck - 6-26-2009 at 04:58 PM

Now I'm thinking San Vicente somewhere

Curt63 - 6-26-2009 at 06:41 PM

How about La Bocana (BCN)?

arbee - 6-26-2009 at 08:42 PM

A bit north of erendira?

I think this is right. It's in the hilly curvy part of the highway. Maybe near Hecter's truck memorial.

arbee - 6-26-2009 at 09:08 PM

Hector's is south of El Rosario, not by Erendira.

I must be mistaking it for another south of Santo Tomas. Ther are so many.

Skipjack Joe - 6-26-2009 at 11:27 PM

I was thinking of the flat section of the highway just south of Palomar before it starts winding upward. That's the only thing that comes to mind.

fishbuck - 6-27-2009 at 01:17 AM

Where is Palomar? I probably know where it is just not by name.
Is there a landmark? Is it a hotel?

Great one more thing to do driving down. Going south
in three weeks and now my eyes will be looking left and right
for the "exact" location of this CasaYTrailor. I think I already
know the spot but........... If I don't find it by San Quintin I'll
turn around and try it north bound.
just before Santo Tomas I think.

It's across the highway from this place.

Hotel, RV park, gas station, zoo. It's all that.

They used to sell turtle shells in their store years ago. I still have mine.

Seems like I've seen it about a mile inland from Colonet on the highway. Greg

EL PALOMAR

In 'downtown' Santo Tomas: Restaurant, Curio shop, Motel, Gas station on the west side of Hwy. 1 and the RV park/ campground is on the east side, across the highway from the restaurant.

Bob H - 6-27-2009 at 10:04 AM

Near La Purisima?

Oh ya, I know El Palomar. I have some great photos from across the street. I came back and there was a awesome rainbow. I will try to download them.

fishingmako - 6-28-2009 at 08:38 PM

I'm going to say close to Colonet, or back in at Catavina.

tripledigitken - 6-28-2009 at 08:42 PM

When you pull ahead it's on your right.

Ooh, ooh, ooh! Pick Me! I know! Mr. Kotter!

At the military checkpoint at the top of the grade above (North) of Santo Tomas Valley.

I stare at its beauty every time we are waiting to be cleared and, sadly, are going back to the "real" world..

You guessed it!

tripledigitken - 6-29-2009 at 03:07 AM

That's the location.
