A Day In The Bay
(Two bad things happened lately.
1. I drew to an inside straight.
2. I walked outside onto the sand and noticed my footprints are now about 1 foot deep.
So I made up my mind:
Open-ended straight flush draws only and..
EXERCISE!.)
SO...a couple days ago I was on a hike up the old Camino Real..
.. and noticed this boat heading back to camp.
.
Hmmm..Is he in a hurry for lunch?...and then a little siesta?
.
.
.
Ahh..pretty nice up here. I believe I'll take a nap...right after I finish this pastrami and rye.

Thanks for the pics. We'll be there Friday afternoon. I wish it was a one way trip. Those tall palms on the right were on the cover of the AAA Baja
Book in the mid 80s, when I first camped there.

Here is the Sunset Baja guide of 1971... same palms... been there awhile!
Roger, cool picks of the old Baja main road pre 1970-ish when the Transpeninsular road was graded and then paved a year or two later along Concepcion.
Thanks!

Hi Roger,
I just read your post to Jim, he wishes that he would have been on that poker table. Love your pictures. See you soon. Lauri
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

You're on my kind of diet, Roger - pastrami on rye at the top of the hill. 
Enjoyed the pictures, too... thanks.

Driving the Bay Road...
"It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood." ..remember who?
Well, it was another beautiful day in the Bay and so I took a little drive along the waterfront highway...slowly heading towards La Palapa for
breakfast.
Shrine of the Bay
This Catholic shrine was built a few years after the highway went in and is a familiar landmark to many Baja Road veterans. Located on a cliffside
overlooking Bahia de Concepcion between Playa Cocos and Playa Burros, it's a pleasant and reverent stop for photographers and worshippers alike.
It is supported through traveler's donations and maintained by local custodians. You'll always find candles burning here.
.
Driving past the other day, I noticed some small cactus have been added to the site.
.
.
As I stopped to look closer, I noticed the cactus were flowering on top. Hey, neat! Certainly colorful..why had I not seen them
before? Ahh..the wonders of Mother Nature are truly.....wonderous. 
I decide to take a photo or two.
.
.
I was in a euphoric mood, so to speak, and stooped to smell those nice blossoms...and found they smelled slightly like ...
Plastic!
.
.
There's a moral to this ...but I'll be damned if I know what...nor do I much care.
I just hope my breakfast is authentic...Baja can be a real mystery at times.
