Here are some pics from back in 1998.. The village has not changed much over the years.. A must read is Gene Kira's book "King of the Moon" that brings to life a story about this village set in the 60's...

Dropping down, you have a great view of Isla Catalin and Monserate.



The village is spread around the bay..and back up the arroyo



The "hook" on the north side of the bay offers good ancorage for sailboats

Regarding Gary and Monica Wescott, they have two of those vehicles in the photograph. They are outfitted to the max and they have many sponsors; Ford, tires, all their gear. They travel all over the world and write travel articles.

I met them for the first time last year at The El Patron Restaurant, down by the lighthouse in Mulege. We had diinner and cervezas together. They were very interesting people with a pretty cool lifestyle. Ironically, they are from Nevada City, CA., my other home.

If you go to Agua Verde, look out for the Glowing Man. Some Nomad, I don't remember who, posted a photo here about a year ago.

Agua Verde is one of the most beautiful spots on earth, judging by photos and people's testimonials who have been there. I have not. I want to go by boat sometime.:coolup:

Tony, a few of us from Up North and The Bay are taking a fishing/camping trek-walkabout next winter with boats, campers and camp followers. Agua Verde will be a port of call, along with Mag Bay, Scorpion Bay, Abreojos, La Bocana, and Asuncion.

See you before then in Scotty's and we'll yak it up. This is something you would like to do. You NEED to see Agua Verde.

Roger,
I'll be on it! Sound great! I also have good friends in La Bocana, Les Heil and his wife, Blanca, who recently opened a B&B. May be an option if a hot shower is needed. Good people. Good fishing too. I taught ESL with Blanca in San Diego and went to their wedding in La Bocana last year. For sure, we can drop in on Shari and Juan in Asuncion. I hope a year's notice is enough warning for them. ;)
