Ken that is a breathtakingly beautiful shot.

Here is on of the pangas in La Playita taken a few days ago. You can see some of the construction equipment around.

Another great shot Ken. Reminds me too much of home, though. I guess that's why I always rush through San Quintin. Makes for great lighting though.

That shot is particularly reminiscent of No Cal. The mountain in the background is one of a half dozen or more volcanos. We stayed at the Old Mill on our way back this time.

A few words on Old Mill. Much as been said about the road in. Yes its 3 miles of slow going, but not bad at a slow pace. The hotel is well kept, we stayed in the new wing this time around. $40 for two with 2 free pacifico's. Nice touch.

The restaurant next door was very good. I had stone crab claws (ala Cielto Lindo) and they were very good. Paula had a cod fillet that was good as well. Nice owner and staff.

Restaurant Jardines, spoken by many on this board, is closed undergoing remodeling. That's a shame as it is another fine eatery.

For those who don't know the Old Mill is a destination fishing resort with many panga's for rent. During the summer time it can be very good fishing there for Tuna, Dorado and Yellowtail. One year when we got skunked at Mulege we stopped at the Old Mill to cool off and had a great day of fishing. It is worth the stop.

(Picture was taken on the infamous Z road leading to the Punta Banda sand spit. Driver was OK, insurance agent showed up promptly, and the ending was happy.)

All these are such great photos - I am really enjoying them. Thank you, everyone.

And tripledigitken - those shades-of-grey shots are my favorites!
