Back from lovely Agua Verde
Weeeee're BAACK! Just back from Agua Verde which was surprisingly FULL with vacationers as were all the beaches...I've NEVER seen so many packed
shores ever! Lucky we know a secret beach there. The road was NOT good but it wasn't horrible...just nasty. More bad news about lovely remote beaches
folks....we met a family from Constitucion who says they OWN it all privately and will fence it off soon...we'll see about that. We will be panga
camping next year I guess and spent the last week looking for a suitable playa near there. I spent the whole time snorkeling, cruising in the pangita
and gorfing down my favorite delicacies...URCHINS!!! and oysters, scallops, etc. etc....and doing things we won't mention on this forum!!! I shall
send some pics later of the fancy development there...lovely indeed. The funniest thing I saw was the hundreds or maybe thousands of plants in sacks
that had to be dug up, put in sacks to be replanted later???? where they are building a bridge...totally silly and I can't even imagine how much time
and work that took! Whoa... baja amazes me once again.

Shari,
You must be talking about the bridge construction north of San Ignacio. We got a laugh out of that too. Nothing to compare what we go through in CA
though.
One job in Eastern SD County had a $750,000 temporary sound barrier fence installed while road building to protect potential nesting Gnatcatchers.
When breeding season was over the only Gnatcatchers observed were on the work side of the fence! Exhibitionists I guess.

Agua Verde 1987
Glad you had a good vacation at Agua Verde, shari. We used to boat camp there many moons ago...and later we took campers down the old trail. Always
a very nice hideaway and something we looked forward to all year. Great times and memories from there. Thanks for the update and sharing the fun.
Here's what the beach and little bay looked like where we used to shore camp. That's the old Green Tortoise Bus camped there, too. Do you recognize
this place?..and if so, has it changed much today?
I have a couple other old Agua Verde pics I am looking at now...good times, good memories. Thanks for reminding me of them today.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.
