It's a great thread... and I am writing a story about Guerrero Negro... because some of you have seen it before, don't think it isn't still
interesting to those who missed it or are new to Nomad. I bumped it up, and after Lee added a post, there was no need for my 'bump' to take up space
in the thread, so I bumped off my bump! LOL

Hey, what a nice thread...glad I found it. 
The Black Warrior
A great place to pull off for a night and a dinner...or simply to look at a whale or two...tour a sea-salt plant....
....or scrape/level-off a damn tope with your boat trailer!!.  
DINNER?
The dining at Malarimmo's has always been comfortable & satisfactory to extrodinarily great for our party.
Point of fact being.. ..., this dining room has been the scene of many a
reunion with old-time Baja veterans. We have met SO many old friends over the last 40 years sitting at these tables...what a treat! And make new
ones each time we stop.
Visiting GN/Mallarimo's is a tradition I hope to continue for a long time to come.
Times do change for some, however...and the mouth-watering abalone dinners are not so available anymore..(not to mention the
..shhh....turtle soup....and we will NOT mention that old treat, right?)...nor some of the other old treats.....
as in....those long-ago fallen doves are no longer falling. 
Have you noticed that most of these 'easy-to-reach Baja' stops are kinda milk-toasty these days...or is it just my nostalgic mania showing?
Oh well, the place has history & ambiance. The motel rooms are neat, clean, cheap, and accept Visa, Norsk & Italians.
The latest news I got is that the management is looking to improve the landscaping...to something like this below:
Maybe....possibly...manana....

Guerrero isn't that big of a town. Not too many options. Two or three? Use your own judgment. Which one is best? Depends upon how tired and hungry you
are.

Hmmm. South of San Quintin, it is the largest community until Loreto, even though Loreto barely exceeds GN in population. Fundamentally, Guerrero
Negro has a population of about 13,000 and an exceptionally high employment rate, thanks to the salt works.
Compare that to Loreto, and find that Loreto's population is merely 1,000 or so larger.
The big dif is that GN was the product of industry- check out DK Ludwig. Whereas Loreto grew from tourism.

We like to drive out to the old salt loading wharf, lots of interesting birds and views of the dunes. Go past the bank and take a right, couple of
miles to the end of the causeway.

We've been going to restaurant Las Cazuelas recently and really enjoying their food. They're on your right on the main drag as you drive into town.

Las Cazuelas is a great place to eat...try the pulpo espanola...yummy and of course lions paw scallops!
Here is a neat video mexicano style of Las Dunas in GN...a place rarely enjoyed by passing tourists. We spent many a great afternoon there...a good
place to have a dip at high tide off the end dune.

Don't forget about Santa Rosalia!
