Great photos... It was high tide when I was at San Cosme, but I sure wanted to go to the springs... next time! Oh, I should ask (for the mrs.), do they stink like sulfur/ rotten eggs (as the Puertecitos springs do)? We sure loved Guadalupe hot springs... no smell... but are sad that Arturo's side has changed ownership and fear it has lost that special-ness it had.

The Hotsprings there have a mild odour. You only notice it at lower tide, but the water is too hot then anyways. We loved that place! Lots of great hiking on trails and the snorkelling was very good.

Guadalupe hot springs is great. We stayed at La Rana tub. Oscar (host) is a great guy. The other side of the creek was in rough condition.

I bought an old Alaskan from the factory. Had electric lift.


Spent a week fishing Sta. Domingo, camped near the lighthouse one time.

Chico would pick me up mornings to fish.


Finally used it as a spare bedroom in Lopez. Exploded during hurricane Jimena.


Check the factory for used.

Yeah, well, 9K for an old camper... Slightly longer trailer would cost the same - NEW. Not a Bigfoot of course - those are expensive, old or new. You'll have a better mobility with a camper, no hitching up pain, but there will be very few places - worth going and staying at - that you won't be able to reach with a trailer. Dirt roads are OK, it's tight turns that can be a problem with trailer. The cost? 14K total for a new trailer and old half-ton truck, 3 years ago. Both are still alive.

I guess, Ejido next door qualifies as a "fishing village" :)

Thanks... San Cosme sounds great.
The south side of Guadalupe Canyon has no privacy compared to Arturo's Campo #1, at least what we saw. Arturo's was special indeed. Good things don't always last... If you have photos... maybe in a different forum/ thread, I would like to see them?
