Here is a photo of the GUAPANGUERO (converted navy patrol boat) looking very small from the old road as in starts down into Coyote Bay. One of us had
to go into Mulege to catch a ride home. It was much faster to take Manuel' panga in by sea that to go by land. Many hours by land, 45 minutes by sea.
We timed a truck coming down the hill into Coyote bay area from the south until he left the area to the north, took 2 hours.Paulina - 1-22-2012 at 10:10 PM

Wow, Vince, those pics sure take me back even tho I did not get down there until about 15 years after you first were there. I had forgotten that Pat
had that boat------and you say he still does-------incredible!!!

your picture really gets the imagination going! Houses? How many people? How was it discovered? Very interesting! Mil gracias. TioPompano - 1-23-2012 at 08:48 AM
Vince, I love that 1960's tranquility.
And sometimes the noise!
Vince, remember the only sounds you heard back then?...tornados of screaming gulls coming to our fish cleaning on the beach, nightly coyote
yodels...and those unbelievably LOUD Jake brakes that rattled our windows.
To compare with your 60's photo, here is ..
Present Day in Coyote Bay...
...still someone's paradise.
..and now Easter Madness has added it's flavor. The base thumps at 2 AM are...shall we say...'different'.

Yup... bad roads bring good people... good roads bring "all kinds of people" (Mama Espinoza, ~1973)Bob H - 1-24-2012 at 11:58 PM
