If you come to San Nicolas stop in for a Margarita. I live near the church. Just ask anyone for Kenny & Susana.

Campsite at San Gregorio
Smack on the sand...surrounded by water when the tide rose in the am. As in San Juanico could see the sunrise and the sunset without moving. Really
amazing places to visit.

Beautiful Corvina and it sounds like you had fun.
Do you have any photos of the Mulege/Ballena road?
I thought this view looked familiar. They graded and maintained the "East road" until about 8 yrs ago and it would only take 2hr. 50 min. to get from
San Juanico to the Hwy 1 jct across the peninnsula. I miss it terribly ! (both the scenery, and it cuts 5 hrs off the trip when you don't have to go
all the way south and around). I'm hoping some day they'll work on that road again.
It's 20 miles from the lighthouse at Punta Pequeña to San Gregorio when you take the beach route, so I think it's closer to 40 miles (+) to Poza
Grande from SJ. It would probably take you 3½ hours hrs to get to Poza from Mulege if you went south and stayed on the pavement. Please post photos if
you go- I'd like to see what it looks like out there someday.

So...we turned around again and headed east once more....when we got to the point in the road where we had thought it ended I just plugged
ahead...slowly...over loose cobble rock...it dropped precipitously into a water filled canyon then flattened out...whew!...this was the only place
beachgirl actually got a little weepy...brave girl!....
|
we went west on this road a while back and it was HELL going UPHILL. i stalled twice and muttered under my breath, "one more time and we're turning
around!" i don't know how i would have made a u-turn, so i guess it's good that we made it. Bia was freaked out looking out the window at the 75 foot
drop down into the canyon and she made me promise not to take her this way again.....but the rest of the trip was UNREAL!!!!
thanks for the pictures of that "hell hill".

That doesn't look too majorly messed up. Call me wierd, but I look for roads that aren't quite passable.

Ken, you don't get it from looking at the photos. "Hell Hill" IS the perfect description. Had to be there

Mulege to Scorpion Bay
Ok, guess I should post some photos of the first half of the trip. By the time we got lost, found Ray, got the right scoop and took the correct road
it was 9:45 am. We finally checked in at the enclosed palapa at Scorpion Bay (the deluxe unit with a door, screened windows and shutters), it was
around 3:30, so it was a six hour drive for sure. We saw one car during that time, so we felt as if the world was ours and ours alone. We kept
crossing back and forth over the riverbed. Some places wetter than others. Rocks, of course in the river, too. Maybe someone can identify the hawk in
my photo. Three hours into the trip we saw a Santa sign in a bush. No house, just the sign.

It was pretty fabulous to finally get to our destination. The enclosed palapa was pretty expensive...650 pesos, but we were SO glad to be there.

My guess would be a kestrel/sparrow hawk
Here are a couple pics I took on the same road, I think, but we never went over the top.
