Memorial Day is also when the baby terns hatch... They are tiny, and there is no nest...

Is that the famous Laguna Percebu Sangria?

Great photos, and a great time indeed!

Went to El Rosario in '05, we didn't go south in '06 (I guess); went to Mision Santa Maria with 'The squarecircle' in '07 and again to the mission with more Nomads in '10...

'08, '09, and '11 were great on the island!

Laguna Percebu Sangria looks more like a dirty dishwater but there enough mind altering substance to make you forget about it.

It appears I took less and less pictures as the years pass.





The best blender ever!

Let out more air and put away that shovel (looks too much like work)!

July 4 weekend, 2010:






Ken Cooke and I rode up to EDM-1(Art's) 4WD motorhome to help... Got him to let more air out, and then turn downhill (toward's the sea... he didn't want to) to get rolling!

IT WORKED!

Thanks to all of you! All of those trips looked like great parties. Loved the kids and dogs, looked like most of the adults were doing pretty good as well. Have to swing by that part of the world. It looks way to good to have not experienced.

Hi John, it is just pure Baja and within a day's drive for us... Come totally self contained, bring shade, 4WD and air compressor (as deflating to 10-20 psi is necessary on that sand), and please take out all trash... As we say, if you can haul it in full, you sure can haul it away empty!

The beach is still as beautiful as it was when I first camped on it in Memorial Day, 1978...
