My Baja Adventure

Car is washed and detailed, taxes are done, grass is mowed. I have some time to share some pics of “My Awesome Baja Adventure”.

Went for a hike around El Rosario – the geology is fascinating:



The beach at the end of the trail was a treat:



Next day, went exploring and hunting for fossils. Found some petrified wood



And a fairly large fossil in matrix – I think it’s a palm tree (but was considering a dinosaur of some sort (?):



Closer view of one end



On to Scammons Lagoon for some whale watching – had an unforgettable day:





Nice campsite on the bluff - watching a crooked horizon (it wasn't the beer was it)



On to – guess where - for some sight seeing



Lots of fossil shells in this area – kept me wandering for hours





Interesting tidepools too



Went to La Bocana and stayed at Bocana B&B with Blanca and Les. Had a wonderful time – hot showers and everything!! I’m still thinking about Les’s Deluxe Baja Breakfast! Blanca gave me a tour of the town, met the neighbors, the nesting ospreys were a delight to watch – this nest had two babies



Later, went to the lobster festival – was the last day of the season



Kareoke (sp?) is popular – the guys do like to sing!!



Went fishing around Estero Coyote



Had the beach all to myself



The canyon view at the end of the Tres Virgenes road is spectacular



Started heading norte because of the wind and cold



This was a welcome campsite discovery around Punta Prieta since the sun had already gone down



The government has built this solar powered pump at the pozo at Sta Ynez for local water supply



My last night was at Los Olivos campground in San Quintin – I always see many varieties of birds here. There were 3 nesting hummingbirds, a saw a scarlet tanager, and a large yellow parakeet, meadowlarks; once I saw an owl; lots of others



As usual, I had a great time – this is just a few of the 525 photos I took, and just a few of the places I went. And as usual, can hardly wait to go back.

wilderone, Thanks.

Wow!
