Great photos JZ and others!

Hey JZ
Trying to place that photo that’s 30 miles South of Loreto.

South of Purto Escondido?

Thx

My guess is the Danzante Resort on Ensenada Blanca??? Yes, it's south of Puerto Escondido and just south of Ligüí.

It's right where the pin labeled Hotel is. One day I had my boat anchored in Honeymoon Cove and rode my 11ft Zodiac there (about 6 miles). That is the first day I discovered the hotel. We spotted it about 3-4 miles out. I didn't know what it was at first.

We stop there frequently now. The bay is super shallow. You can walk far out from the beach. I'll post pics of it later. Have flown the drone over it a couple times.

The cactus field on that drive into BoLA is top 3 I've ever seen. The one leaving San Evaristo is awesome as well.

I remember that dog. It was a few years ago, but he spent the night with me and my dog at a Palapa on the beach in San Evaristo. Thanks for posting it again!

I remember we were down there around the same time.

Have about 30 pics from that day. Would love to share them with you some day.


JZ - 1-28-2023 at 10:57 PM

Another key hole. There are a bunch of them in Baja / Sea of Cortez.

Riding fat bikes in the dunes after a rain. The moisture hardened up the sand and made it like a skate park almost.

Trunkrack - 1-29-2023 at 10:19 AM

JZ, thanks for the thread, got me fired up to start digging through our old trips and look at the photos!

Discovered this place on our drive up the coast 6-8 years ago. Someone put a lot of work into this shack and surrounding area, really beautiful.

Pancho's died in 2018. I wonder if the new residents have preserved this?

I'm a bit skull-here clueless -- Are these dolphin skulls, or pelican skulls, or something else? I do find them on the beaches now and then.

Looks similar to this location at Palo Chino.


That is Mike Younghusband who showed me some interesting artifacts nearby, after we toured San Javier.

Puerto Chale. Here's a photo sphere -- you can see the church in the distance behind the black Tacoma (aka a COPS Racing chase truck).

StuckSucks - 2-7-2023 at 04:50 PM

Newly-acquired intel: it appears the church has been repainted a tan-ish color.

My bad, I saw the photo but didn't see a question.

This was somewhere along a road that takes off the Agua Verde road and roughly parallels Highway 1 SW along the Arroyo Sta. Cruz, then Arroyo San Ignacia, and then Arroyo Huatamote. There were a bunch of water crossings that looked similar. Along the way we passed a dam marked "Conagua."

StuckSucks - 2-7-2023 at 06:02 PM

Here's a few other photos along that route:
