so, let me re-post

and it was directed to you, Karl

so, to save a waypoint, waypoints or a track, you have to make sure, you high light it on the left in GE. If it shows on your screen, but no high lighted, whatever is highlighted will be saved (in your case the bottom of the "back door road")

by the way, your Playa Bonita is called Playa Punta Aguja

here are the palapa and beach access waypoints:

Found a video on youtube

it's the road into Aqua Verde, but not the one we will climb out!



Agua Verde Fish Camp Road - Baja California Sur, Mexico
Tim and Adrian ride to Argentina

And here is the one out of AV to Constitution:



Uploaded by pdailey75 on Oct 5, 2011

In early 2011, I rode the 1500-mile Rip to the Tip ride and had the chance to visit the Agua Verde on the Sea of Cortez. After a swim in the beautiful bay we rode our motos out of the Bay to the Baja highlands on this remote rough dirt road. Epic to say the least.

that was a cool way to see the Agua Verde road...through that go camera...cool...here we are at one of those scary turns




well, we're back from agua verde and didnt see anybody we knew from "the outside". Sure had a great vacation though...nice and quiet on the other side of Aguja...which had about 50 camps on it and is THE santispac of agua verde at easter....here is that beach from the sea...



and our camp on the other side



the village was much better stocked this year...2 beer tents for both tecate and corona fans...lots of stuff in the new little store too...fresh meat, fruits, veggies, lots of cookies and ice even....but we mainly gorged on fruits of the sea like urchins, oysters and these puppies...



the weather was a dream...gotta love that glassy calm sea



look forward to hearing about your trip guys

Cerveza Survey, Agua Verde...

Am curious... at the Corona tent, do they sell Pacifico... and does Pacifico outsell Corona (I should think) with locals?

At the Tecate tent, do they also sell Dos Equis? How about Tecate Lite?

Hope you vacation was grand! How does Juan prep and eat the Hacha Clam?

I want to know how to cook those giant clam/mussels! Maybe I'll just bring some fresh garlic and white wine.... A lot of it.

the water was very inviting all right...but I did suffer some nasty agua mala stings...tiny mucous like jelleyfish...and last night they all got inflamed (after Laurieboats tequila thursday???)

David, Corona is the brewery so the tents have that on them...pacifico and pacifico light is what mexicanos drink...they didnt have the gringo favorite Corona and only sold cans. The Tecate tent had rojos of course and the ever popular tecate light.

the callo de hacha is wonderful just raw with lime or in a c-cktail type thingy....ya just smash the shell and cut out the big scallop...or sauted in garlic butter is pretty darn yummy too.

That was my question...

"at the Corona tent, do they sell Pacifico... and does Pacifico outsell Corona (I should think) with locals?"

Your answer is what I expected: "David, Corona is the brewery so the tents have that on them...pacifico and pacifico light is what mexicanos drink...they didnt have the gringo favorite Corona and only sold cans."

FYI: I don't drink Corona... and I don't know a lot of gringos that do... Maybe tourists in Cabo do? Only if one is handed to me, will I swallow that stuff, to not be rude... Pacifico and Dos Equis are my favorite beers, and I do like Tecate Light, too.

I've never been to Agua Verde by road, only by boat.

How would an F350 4x4 with a cabover camper (with about 15 inches of overhang) fare on the road IN to Agua Verde from the north?

I've never been on the road, but I wouldn't worry. There will be at least two Toyotas there to help you out.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I like to join the Pinto Party at Anna's on 4/29 and probably stay there overnight.
Next morning (4/30), I will leisurely drive to Loreto to take on fuel and stock up a bit, then continue to the Palapa at Aqua Verde.
Let's play it by ear from there....

Those from the North are meeting at Coco's Corners on Sat. the 28th in the afternoon. I think Agua Verde the next night. Of course this up for edit.
