We were with another couple and they wanted to stay at Rancho Grande......We personally don't need a palapa and prefer primitive places......The
beach was really nice and we had a great time kayaking and swimming but we won't stay there again as the flies were pests like we've never known....so
we moved on......They literally covered all surfaces and this was due to the outhouses behind the sites......so we then moved on to Puertocitos at
Cristina Beach and over a friend's campo....Had a fantastic fish fry at our friends' Bobby and Carol and Jerry went fishing....Caught Cabrillas and
Trigger......On our way out we forgot to delfate our tires and got stuck in sand......Hummer full of elite army guys pulled us out.....It was really
amazing.....Refused all kinds of compensation we offered......will send pics later...

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

I can convert kms. to miles, so fire away!
Flies? Oh, have you been chased around by biting 'horse' flies at Gonzaga like I have (in 1965 and 1974)! ?
Somehow the bay was just so beutiful we went back, anyway... We camped down for the few homes at Alfonsina's, back then... about where the runway
ends.

What have they been doing the past 6 mos., since the pavement was reported to be at that point back then? It was thought that once out of the mountain
section to Huerfanito, it would be smooth sailing on the flatlands?
Thanks cj5orion!

Thanks! Yes, many bridges (instead of vados) so the highway remains open after chubasco rains!

Just got back from a week in gonzaga. Good trip little wind the road is 15 miles north of rancho grande . the last is well graded 30mph at times but
with many poorly marked detours around projects. lots of work, I can hear the equipment from the house in papas working in the wash . I think the
next project will end at the wash at papas . If you are fishing make sure to have you fishing licence we were checked two times by Feds/navy nice
guys no problems . Dont know if they knew thier laws when I asked why I was not useing tanks when i was spearfishing . When I told them it was aginst
the law In Mexico they just smiled and knoded. They asked for lic and ID, did not check fish or boat reg , did wright down names and cf#.
