PUERTECITOS PHOTOS BY BEERCAN


Beercan sent me a lot of photos showing how different Puertecitos looks today... from the old days of junky trailers and U.S. road signs for decorations! Thank you!

Here are some of the photos:



Hey, they even spelled it right!

Nice houses. Wow, that lansdscape is moon-like. I bet there is not a stick of vegetation in 40 miles.

Is this thread meant to be celebration of 40th anniversary of Apollo 11? Sure looks like artists rendition of future housing planned for the moon.

It's just like Maui without the greenery, or the moderate temps. Hot as Hades in the summer and pretty darn cold in the winter. Just like Maui!

The pictures are great.

The last time I was near Puertecitos was in the sixes. It took us longer to drive from San Felipe to our camping spot, just East of the sulfur mines, than from San Diego to San Felipe. San Felipe became to touristy for us so we started going to BOLA.

bajaweenie ---you sure do like to put foot in mouth


Have you spent a winter in Puertecitos ?
Coolist temp last winter was 58 --water temps were in low 60's .
I was there most of the last 4 winters and the coldest that I can recall was about 45 .
I wear shorts and t-shirts during the winter.
