There are two big palapas on the beach but room for plenty. As for a first camping trip to Baja....well, we're taking our son, Gabriel, to Asuncion
in November for 2-3 weeks but not if we'll camp or not. But he'll have camped by then...we might do a few night in Anza Borrego soon.

4/4 to 4/12... San Rafael beach camping trip with side trip inland to search for lost mission ruins... Okay!
How many palapas have you and Pancho built on the beach so far?
Will this be your baby's first Baja trip? |

Okay Zac... We won't know about having that week in April off until late Jan. or Feb. when Elizabeth can put in her vacation requests for the next
year. Is that Easter/ Semana Santa week by chance?
As for Borrego, if you want company, I am anxious to do some night runs now that I have these HIDs on my Tacoma!

Okay that's it. I need to get a 4x4 by this trip. It won't be pretty but I hope reliable

They are all cool... Parral sometimes has a closed, locked gate many miles before the road ends/ trail begins. We were lucky in 2004. Met BajaLou that
trip and Mexitron, Taco de Baja, too
Berrendo is nice... went back with Elizabeth in 2006. About a mile hike to the grotto.
Carrizo has a fence that blocked us in 2004, and no big palms to be seen from that point... So, Jide and I left without hiking in Carrizo to go to
Agua Caliente to set up camp.
Agua Caliente was great, but a mile hike from the road end to the hot spring. Since then (2004), we heard that the canyon entrance was fenced off
(last Feb.) but they were trying to develop the hot spring by extending the road all the way in and building palapas...?
El Cajon was a beautiful hike in... Burro Bob lives (was living) at the entrance... Anyone hear from him, Lou???

That's the spirit!
You have the plane for fast Baja trips and then you will have the 4X4 for getting down and dirty!

David,
Next year, 2009, Easter falls on Sunday, April 12th.
Our school recess is April 10 - 17.
Cody will be with her dad, Dern and I may be in Bahia working on the place.

Thanks Paulina... So that IS the first week of Semana Santa/ Spring Break... which means mobs of people in the popular places.
Bahia San Rafael should be a safe destination, but who knows? As long as there is no blairing music until sunrise, bottles and diapers littering the
beach and the other typical Semana Santa stuff, it would be nice...
Amigos sitting around the campfire sharing stories and laughs is what I like for group camping... We had many of those at Camp Gecko and The Matomi
and BBBB campouts.
Here's some Baja Nomads chatting outside the Baja Cactus Motel in 2006...

Aren't there other locations with pools/waterfalls like Canon Diablo or area?

DK-
I've been to Playa San Rafael for a few Semana Santas and with no other people outside of us....well, there was a couple camped close to us last year
but El Gato Loco and Barb are harmless. We'll probably head there again this year..at least for a few days. It would be nice to share the place with
other Nomads.

Debra,
I can feel for you. NJ was on the other side of the earth as far as I was concerned. You'll be back in Bahia before you know it.

Been to that waterfall, small, but a waterfall...They were using a Backhoe out there at that time we were there ('04) and blazing a trail up the
stream, anyone know what they were developing?

Sounds like a great trip, unfortunately our Son is off the previous week for Easter break so that dictates our time off and why I'm pushing for a
Presidents trip.
That looks like a beautiful beach...

Hey David K,
and a warning to anyone else rolling through California.
It is illegal drive with a gps affixed to a windshield in California. It has to mount on the dash.
Don't give the cops a reason to pull you over.
Carry on!

Interesting on how my street pilot GPS, sold in Calif. comes with a windshield mount, and every car I see with one is usually mounted to the
windshield... sometines in the middle! Mine is as low as possible so as not to obstruct my view.
Not sure what a windshield mounted GPS has to do with this thread? In Baja, I use a hand held Garmin eTrex Legend to navigate or mark waypoints, not
the street pilot.
