If you are interested in that area, you may like this 1980's photo of 3 Mulege residents camping at the White Tanks area...north of Cals. A very nice, scenic..and GREAT campsite. Our bunch sure enjoyed the place, plus we had super shoreline diving for dinners.

The real Punta Cabras is south of what most call the point area on the North end of Bahia Almejas which is actually just south of Tampico on the Baja Almanac AKA La Punta Del Canon de Santa Cruz. Last time I camped there (4 years ago) there was a double wide on the cliff and it really bummed me out. Looked like there was a meth lab being setup..............

Love the White Tank photo Pompano...............Is that related to the White Tank in Joshua Tree?:D

I'll post some of me in 2000. I brought my son, who was 9 months old, and we woke up in the middle of the night and he was cold, we thought he was dead. No -- he was just cold...............Taking kids camping, many think is insane, but he dug it and remember all of it. Take kids camping!!!! What do you think people who live in these areas do? They live here!!!! Made me realize people who say "my kids are only a year old and I wont take them camping" are wimps.

As you can see in the 7th picture, there is a truck that had been driven off of a cliff. we drove by about 45 minutes later and the truck was gone. Someone must've got a quick tow outta there.

Thanks, Ateo.
I had been there several times, but I thought it was called La Bocana.
First I've heard it called Punta Cabra.

Punta Cabras - It's out north of Erendira past Coyote Cals. You can also get there by taking the dirt road southwest out of Santo Tomas. Look for Bahia Almejas on map.

Well said about progression.....I used to eat canned beans on trips sleeping in tents, then moved to house rentals, then condos, then tents, then sleeping in my truck, and back to tents again. Now I'll do any of them depending on who's coming. Thanks on the compliment on the familia. My wife is from TJ and that was my dream come true - to marry a Mexican girl!!! My daughter recently did a project for school and all her pictures posted were us in Baja! Scorpions, roads, missions, surf....Her teacher must know she loves Baja!
