Egads, I guess I will move to Mexico, vacation in Mexico, or whatever, but I sure hope I can avoid all the Mexicans during Semana Santa.

Pescador...it's not the nationality that bothers me that weekend...I would be equally bummed if it were any other race making all that noise and
camped on top of each other...it is our only week off in the whole year and both Juan & i do not enjoy this "wild all night party scene"... we
want quiet, relaxing beach camping which is why we take our boat to find a remote beach with no road to it...nada que ver con raza

Interestingly enough, la bocana is usually deserted during holy week - folks head to san ignacio mostly or the beaches like concepcion to camp out.
really good idea to head into the mountains or to beaches with no real access as these are for sure not going to have loud music all night long.

Good time to look for a Lost Mission!! Blanca, the Lost Santa Clara Mission is in your back yard (almost)! How cool if a lost mission expedition had
its base camp at your place... with that good cooking and big area for camping!
See Mission San Juan Bautista, Emp. ('started') on the top left, straight WEST from San Ignacio mission? This and the Jesuits letters of it are the
basis for the Santa Clara Mountain lost mission legend!

Already looked...nothing but remote ranch sites around the base of Santa Clara. I would be carefull about tramping around there. Looked like some of
those remote ranches really did not want visitors. enough said.

Must be a a good source of water (for the Indians and for the new farming methods they were told to utilize. Evidence would be at a ranch, in the
middle of the mountain group. Historians don't believe in any lost missions, but history buffs and desert rats use them as a reason to go into the
desert!
Our last time spending with Baja Lou was searching for the Lost Santa Isabel mission. Lou was smiling away, really enjoyed being there with all of us.

I was not really giving you a bad time. I just thought the posts were funny. My very first trip to Fiesta San Javier was exactly what you are
describing for the beaches in our area for Semana Santa. Porta potties are in very short supply and most of the party people have been doing it that
way for years and years and it does not show much sign of changing. I don't head to the beaches that week, but I don't normally head to the beaches
much anyway. In the US or Canada you would have to file for a permit, provide sanitation facilities for all expected party participants, and all of
the revelers would have to really pony up and pay big bucks for the event. Let's see one Porta Potty rental for every 10 people, portable showers set
up for 150 pesos a shower, catered food, etc., etc.,
If I remember correctly, seems like Sturgis, South Dakota, which had all of that was a really expensive happening. Perhaps the people at the La
Canada facility in Santo Tomas have figured out a way to make a big profit from the party goers, and maybe some enterprising person will do that at
Concepcion.
