Campo Rene trip pics
Google Earth image of the motel/ restaurant are.
The road in is really nice
Two seagulls courting in front of the Restaurant/Bar
The mangroves (?) in front are teaming with bird life. Like a major rookery. I'm having trouble focusing my long lens or I'd really bore you with some
more bird pics. Here are more but not in the best of focus
Now to the Dune & beaches. We put on over 200 miles on the bikes and most of it along the beaches or trails just behind them when available

I heard it was nice up your way Shari but we froze. Wind to 30mph, foggy and too stormy to fish. I'm hoping to visit you and Asuncion area in late
June or July, Aug, Sept. Maybe all of the above. I'm old and the heat here is a bit uncomfortable.

Hey great. Looks like you made it across the salt flats out to "big sandy" at Laguna San Ignacio. Anyone get stuck?

Nice photos Russ!
With those cool off road vehicles, you guys could do a serious search for the LOST SANTA CLARA MISSION, very near Campo Rene!

David, I haven't forgotten about the ruins below San Jose Magdelena. Just haven't been riding out that direction. I've go a folder full of info to
take when I do go.

Good times. Reminds me of some great riding 2 years ago with Fishinrich and rts551.
I'm down to counting the weeks til I get back south. Filling water jugs, buying supplies, new line on the reels, buying pesos
About as good as it gets!
No worries

That looks like another great trip Russ. I need to get "home" to La Bocana. The quad is crying out to me.

Russ, did you ride over the top or haul the 4 wheelers on a trailer to Campo Rene.
We took the trip through the mission and over the top from San Jose de Magdelena to San Ignacio Lagoon last year and it was fantastic. Up at the
very top you can see both the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific at the same time.

Hi Jim,
We trailered over this time. But there is talk of a San Ignacio trip on the "bikes" I won't miss it this time.
