I would like to try getting one of those cabanas during semanta santa weekend and party, party, party. I wonder if it is cool partying or if there are
fights and stuff. If I just stay away from the straight tequila, I'd probably be fine. I'd like to experience the crowed beach camp some time - as
long as I'm part of the loud music and all that. Heck, I'd like to hire a Mexican band, show lights, and all that and have a dance party.

Saturday morning in Coyote Bay
I took a short drive this morning from Coyote Bay camping beach to Santispac. Lot's of tourist traffic on the highway. Pickups pulliing trailers
with jetskies and fishing boats. Lots of small cars with camping gear on top, a few RV's, and lots of vans.
Santispac has only a very few stopping there. Maybe because of the recent changes there. The Bonifil ejido has an entrance fee station and a gate of
sorts, but it seems to be always open. I counted only 2 RV's along the main beach so far and a scattering of tents, but a few more down in the lagoon
beach.
Popular Cocos Beach is about 2/3 full already..and most of the palapas are already taken. Will be full by later today or tomorrow for sure. After
that it will be second row only.
Playa Escondido is about one-third-claimed now. A little tougher for some to get to..or maybe know about? It's 'hidden' y'know..
Burros Beach is getting a few large tents and pup tents nearest to Bertha's. Also some in the available palapas further down the beach, and some in
front. The area around Bertha's always is quite popular..volleyball games, bands, etc.
Playa Coyote is about 1/4 full as of noon today, but more people are arriving by the hour, so that will change by manana. This is a large and popular
camping beach also..but last year a policeman was 'molested'??..and this year may be less boisterous. Honest to God, that's what Manuel told
me...'molested'.

Opps...forgot a photo of Santispac and Ana's
Byron, this was taken about a week ago. Not much will have changed from when you were here, except that Ana's has become more popular. Lots more
events and 'specials.' It's all good!

ANA'S - Actually, I think Russ should rename that place.
It should be called 'The Pheonix'...seeing as how it rose from it's own ashes.

Mike, so far it's portable gensets. Can't say what the future may hold, though. If and when all this development actually happens, then one can
assume the power options will change. Right now, Conception Bay is still off-grid power..closest power lines are Mulege's micro tower to the north.
Not that far away as the crow flies...or a Comanche. And getting closer every year from the south.
There's been a lot of rumors circulating...but that's nothing extraordinary. I know that some are true..some are not.
The scuttlebutt has been around since the early 70's that power is coming to the Bay soon...soon..any day now. Meanwhile, I am on my 4th set of
solar batteries and content. I've lived 'green' for a long, long time...both Baja and Up North.

Roger- Keep those batteries healthy! Even if they do get grid power to Coyote Bay, we can count on frequent interruptions. Manuel said 1-2 years when
I started building my place in '71. I've been very happy with solar.

Wow! Those pics of Coyote crammed full are wild. Can't wait to see the updates for this year. We saw muchos gentes heading south the last few days.
Viva Beach Camping!
This was us at Coyote May 1999. One other camper and no one showed up the whole week to collect fees. I suspect now that the guy was in Vegas spending
the Semana Santa funds!

Punta Terasa beach. Has excellent diving, fishing, beachcombing..and total privacy.
Only thing is..it's a long hard drive by 4x4 or about 35 miles by boat from Mulege.
Bring your pets!

OK, where is this? East side of Conception? I'm always looking for a nice private beach at the end of a long hard 4x4 trip. I've driven on the easy
side of Conception and never found a good camp and beach (lots of rocks) - this photo does not look like what I saw - where is it, por favor?

chris..
I don't know how you missed so many nice beaches, but here's some help for your next attempt.
Most are reachable by land, especially in your 4 x 4, but I've come across many 2x4's out there..pickup campers, vans, small motor homes, dune
buggies, rails, cycles, etc. There are some that are only boat accessible on the east coast. Good luck and have fun.

Pompano. What's the road like these days on the peninsula? Compared to l8 years ago when we 'started' to drive out there in our suburban, and
turned around. Guess we missed a trip to remember that winter!!!! My cousin couple years earlier did it with his 33' Airstream & GMC pickup
4X4.???????? His story was, "it wasn't too bad". But then again, he was the guy up in Oregon in the early 70's who drove his l940's era Greyhound
bus conversion with a 'pink elephants' head attached to the front grill piece to the top of a mountain on an old logging road, the 4X4's were having
problems reaching.

Phil, that road is ALWAYS questionable..but I did see a couple of pickup campers over at the mine, so it can't be impassable. I say go for it.
.
EASTER REPORT FROM THE BAY.
All beaches from Coyote to Santispac have crowds of campers and revelers, but not nearly as many as years past. The highway does seem to have very
heavy traffic at all times, however, so take it easy out there.
I would post some current pics, but unfortunately my camera 'went missing' from the Jeep when I was visiting some campers.
Rats...the replacement camera will not be here until April 24th. What's helpful for photo-withdrawal?
Maybe roundtuit or someone else in the area will post thier current pics? Thanks.

Roger, check between the seat and the console, or the 'big black hole' under the back seat... that's where Baja Angel (former CJ-5 owner) said stuff
went in her Jeeps.

Wish it was that easy, David. The camera and bag are gone.
But I have been having problems with that camera anyway... a Nikon Coolpix 4300. They don't take well to hitting the sidewalk or my marble floor.
The last couple of weeks I have had to 'intimidate' it to get it working.

A very windy Easter
The winds have been very high the last few days, and that has greatly curtailed the waterfun enjoyment of the Easter visitors. Whitecaps in the
afternoon..and even some nights...have been the norm.
A real bummer when your tent starts billowing and flapping around. That snapping sound drives you nuts at 2:00 a.m. Sand in the margaritas. Sand in
the beer. Sand in the menudo.
Is someone missing a blue 36C bikini top? I live in Coyote Bay..am real easy to find...please stop by...please.

I was so looking forward to your pics! Glad you have a replacement on its way.
BTW, I recently took out a separate personal insurance policy for my camera equipment. I was quite surprised at how cheap it is.
And one very good feature of the policy is that what happens does not matter---it walked away (no need for a police theft report) it decided to go
swimming with the whales, it met up with concrete or marble, etc. Only thing that is not covered is if you intentionally damage it.
Another nomad used sucessfully used his insurance after his quite expensive camera and lens went swimming in Baja.
So, now I hope someone else will post the pictures of those crowds---will make me once again be really happy we are located where we are.
