And how would you classify this disorder, Mr Bondy? OCDeBaja?
Experience enables you to recognize a mistake every time you repeat it.

So, Ken Bondy -- what keeps you from being here? I just need to post this because I just saw that I had 666 posts; you know what THAT means!!! After
this, it'll be 667 and I'm safe from el diablo! BYW; the photos are great!

Appreciate that bajabound. I do a lot of snorkeling. The manatee thread I just posted in the Baja Gallery was on snorkel. ++Ken++

Looking forward to it, although there's some nice diving in your area (assume you are in Punta Banda south of Ensenada), beautiful thick kelp forests.
Also a good dive shop there out at Bufadora. If you get certified I'll give you an underwater tour in the kelp  . Or not, it's pretty on snorkel too!!

I've snorkeled at La Bufadora, and it is cold, cold, cold. The cold was biting between my hood and mask. There are a whole lot of purple urchins
there, and I saw one big, orange fish. The kelp was nice.

OK you guys seem to need the trip more than I do. I'm only about 200 miles north of the border right now, 75F outside headed for 90F, clear sunny
sky.

Love those cliffs above that beach, Ken. Looks very photogenic. I think DavidK also posted one from that area a while back that got my attention. I'll
have to check it out. Should be easy to get to.

It is easy to get to Joe. K45 is the turnoff as I recall. Right, David has posted photos from that area also, it is close to that big hole (cavern)
in the rocks with the sea lions.

Between Km. 47 and 48, on a curve, follow new power line, that goes over Mex. 1 at the road. If going to La Lobera, a left turn is made 1/2 mile in,
again follow the power line... Ignore Spanish keep out sign, honestly it is meant for riff raff. 20 pesos collected to park for any daytime visit,
more for overnight camping.

Your pictures are always a pleasure to see--thanks.
And, even though we have sunny 70s here in Imperial Beach, we still need to get back to Baja---SOON
We were hoping this month, again, but looks like the first part of April----Hope you make it down soon.
