We drove into Guerrero Negro to have a look at the town and drove out the 6 mile causeway to the old salt loading warf... A few years after it was
built the salt loading was moved to a new facility in Scammon's Lagoon.

Across Laguna Guerrero Negro (Black Warrior Lagoon) from the warf is Isla Arena and some beautiful sand dunes!

The warf is north of the 28th parallel and we could see the Eagle Monument and flag over on Mex. 1

We pulled into El Rosario as the sun was setting, had a great meal at Hugo's Tacos Mision (Hawaiian Patato and a giant burrito).
I had enough energy to continue on... we got to the border at 2 am and still had a 30 minute wait! Home at 3:30 am Sunday!
Well... what can I say... a great week+ in Baja!
Began with the Baja-Rosario Festival and party at Baja Cactus Motel... Fun times.
The Squarecircle traveled with us in the remote area between El Rosario and Guerrero Negro where we traveled 200 dirt road miles to get from north to
south (see Part 2) just like in the 'old days' of the Baja I remember!
Shari and Juan showed us a great time in their corner of Baja at Bahia Asuncion...
More dirt miles to Abreojos and Campo Rene to see new areas to me (and Baja Angel)!
The beauty of San Ignacio and Mulege really was a thrill to enjoy with Baja Angel.
Bahia Concepcion... what more can I say? It was all that I hoped it would be...
VIVA BAJA!!!

This is a "landmark" for us. We call it Monte Chi Chi. I don't know why.

All I can say is Wow. I literally set there spell bound with all the descriptions and pictures. I am glad that everything went so smoothly and that
you guys had a great time. I go away filled and peaceful after reading the total report (unlike a couple of other threads going on at this time which
spew so much hatred and discontent) Thank you so much for spending the time to write and post and thanks in advance, cause I am going to reread all
this at least a few more times.

David, this was fantastic.... some of our favorite spots in Baja Sur for sure. We are excited about our upcoming 20+/- days in Baja in October! Your
photo essay has increased our appetite for this trip.
Gracias amigo,

DK & Baja Angel,
When you're ready to take on a housekeeper/cook/travel help let me know! I make a mean huevos rancheros and will bring my own tent!
Your adventures are inspiring!
