Semana Santa Camping Trip

shari - 4-10-2015 at 10:34 AM

Juan & I snuck away on our annual Easter week camping adventure to a remote beach in Bahia Concepcion. It was glorious to be away from phones and the computer and mess around on the beach, snorkel, swim and explore the bahia in our inflatable.

There were less people this year most likely due to the high gas prices but the weather was nice and the ocean was over 80 degrees. We found that the usual places where scallops live were pretty much decimated by poachers who we would hear going out at night. We didnt see any whale sharks this year but someone said they were at Playa Coyote...which we visited and longed to have a cerveza with Pompano on his old patio!

Muchas gracias to our amigos who came to our aid when our outboard crapped out...you know who you are!

Here is a little video of our little camp.

Hi Shari,
We saw you and Juan east of San Ignacio as we were starting our way north. Kathy and I had a great month in Baja, now we're off to Arizona and Utah for 4-5 weeks of camping and exploring the parks.

Likely see you in the fall.
Kurt

Nice slide show, and tunes! My neighbors down the street just got back from a stay at Rattlesnake beach just a little south of there. I asked about whale sharks, and they did not encounter any, but had close up encounters with whales while in sea kayaks.
They said they were blue whales, does that sound right to you?
Eighty degree water and wet suits? I did not even use mine when I was there in November....oh all right, I couldn't get it zipped up this year!

Nice! Thanks for posting this :)

hmmm...blue whales in Concepcion? I doubt it but maybe...perhaps fin whales that are more common in the gulf.

I never used a wetsuit...the guys are wimps!:biggrin:
