Yes!
You bet! Which strip? Next door to Camp Gecko is BLX-South Munoz' Strip at 3,000' + but sandy. But otherwise, there's the paved runways north of
town... Just buzz Camp Gecko and one of us crazy gringos will play taxi and come get you, or land at Munoz' and walk over.

3000'
I have a 182 with a Horton STOL kit. Would you like to meet me at mid runway?

Hola BWOIF, saw your note on baja.net
and you're right - just harmless fun....
Glad to meet another baja flyer. be sure and check out the AV section there too.
I'm planning on maybe one night at BOLA on the return from my annual baja XMAS - NY'S trip to mulege. Thats IF my bird is back in the air by then.
Need a room though as Doc's full.
BLX - Munoz has very soft sand occaisionally and rutted in places if they haven't run a grader, plus I don't believe its 3000' useable, but with your
eq, you should have no problem, just drag it good 1st to check. Jack Mack (el jefe, BBP) was the last i know who landed there in his shrike and you
can get real info from him.
Also its private for the homes at the end but think they are cool.
I'll be at the paved one if i make it over, dec 30th or...? send me a PM and we can exchange e mail addys

My buddy and I are heading down early AM on Dec 27. I'm bringing my girlfriend, her first Baja trip and he is bringing his wife (return trip after a
few years). I was able to get a message to Jose at Las Hamacas for reservations and he called me back to confirm our reservation. We'll be cruing
the town and nearby dirtroads and trails on motorcycles. I think we'll hit Guillermo's or Casa Diaz for New Year's. See ya there!!

If we don't run into you in town, come 4 miles south on the San Francisquito road and have a beer or a soda with us at Camp Gecko. The road starts
across from the (yellow) Xitlali market. It's wide and washboard but any vehicle can easily make the short trip. Have a good one and write a report
when you get home so we can all relive another adventure in Baja California.

Keep in mind the New Year's party at Diaz' is a big outdoor fiesta for the whole town and nearby ranchos. The cultural experience is fantastic... A
band comes from Ensenada (I think) to play. There is a pinata party for the kids first... then dancing for the grown ups.

Steve, you talking about Munoz, right?
would someone out there be able to objectively walk/drive the runway and give a report on its "useable length"?
That would be the total length of any contiguous portion of it that's not interrupted by major holes, ruts, large rocks etc. nor excessively soft.
Thx - have a good holiday all you headed for BOLA. hope i can show up!

We'll be out at La Gringa with a tiny "Kit" trailer (think teardrop)and kayaks. We drive a Sienna van that now sports both Howard Dean and Dennis
Kucinich bumperstickers. (Don't ask and I won't tell.)
I always hope one year to stay awake long enough to go out to Diaz's place but we turn in so early it's never happened. Now as sleep deprived
middle-aged parents of a lively babe it's even unlikelier.
Sigh.

Well David K. you and the kids better be there to show us where the magic rocks are! What is around there that I can talk you guys into showing my
friend Laura? She's never been to Baja before but she is an avid camper and nature lover. I hope there will be other kids there for Michael and Sandy
to play with.
Burritomama, I definitely want to show the kids the turtles so we will come looking for you. If you're not there we'll keep going up the road till
we find you.

7-01: Tinaja de Yubay, lost mission hunt, Las Flores jail house and graves.
12-01: Montevideo Rock Art
4-02: Copper Mine, Las Flores Railroad and Tram line, Bahia San Rafael.
1-03: Punta Candelero (north of Bahia).
4-03: More at the railroad south of Las Flores.
7-03: San Borja and visitas at Santa Ana and San Ignacito.
If you go to my 'Contributed Photos' section click on the Bedman photos, specially the second group.
