The beach in the first pic is a little south of Punta San Jose' (El Faro San Jose') and I believe it is called Ballenas.

The road pics and camp area are on road to the coast between the Catavina area and the coast.

I'd post a GPS point...but would probably get in trouble if i did ;)

I did that stretch of coast about 2 years ago w/a friend from Erendira to Puerto Santo Tomas and it was beautiful and empty except for El Faro San Jose.... and only 2 people there, probably because the surf sucks so bad there;D. The last stretch into La Bocana we had to do some serious shovel work to get thru some road collapses... how was it on your trip last year?

I must have misread the Punta San Jose..... my map shows it to be about due west of Santo Tomas. I've been wrong plenty, though.
Is Snardsville kind of like Oxnardsville, one of the other large Mexican cities?

There're lots of "San Jose" places in Baja ;D.

This one actually has an old man, named Jose, living there with some of his sons.

This stretch is very rugged but worth the go... Take two vehicles and a as many spare tires as you can handle..

Yup you got snardsville right...Oxnard..not just another pretty name..
Downtown snard is alot like san quintin.. but the food is a little better..no pastor on the spit though :(

A few years ago, like 15-20 I used to grab lunch on 6th between C and B at Taco de Mexico. Killer chile rellenos and carne asado. Also at La Perla, which I know doesn't exist anymore, the calabasitas was sooooo good.

I always went (and still go) to the taco de mexico down on saviers.
There was a guy there for 18 years wrapping burritos,Lalo. He just recently moved on to greener pastures...Baja fresh..He was always so cool about correcting my spanish.
