I was going to say it looked a little thin on campers. I hope it picks up, for the local merchants sake. I'm sure they count on a couple good weeks
about now. |

Thanks, Pompano
Love the pictures, anytime of year.
Yeah, the beaches are not so frenetic as years past, but Mulege-town is jumpin' along.
Many, many children coming to the dive center to see the baby rabbits, all so sweet!
The Nomads Bajafam came by yesterday for a quick visit. Michelle, Lionel, the Sister and the Mister report they thoroughly enjoyed their Baja vacation
and are already planning their next. They are looking forward to the quiet beaches of summer down here and the exquisitely bathtub-warm Sea of Cortez
water!

I couldn't agree more, Mulegena, April-May-June-July-etc ..it's just gets better and better.
We always have a grand time cooling off!

Crowds in April
Great Photos Pompano, Thanks for posting them!
Hey does anyone have an idea or care to speculate on how many campers might be around on Concepcion Bay mid April?
We are headed that way and it would be more fun to camp around some other families on the beach rather than in town.
Kinda loaded question I know but the RV parks in Az and Calif can be pretty vacant this time of year. Wondered if the same were true in Baja.

Hey Pompano...Rie here...Always love your photos.
I can only view a sliver of the entire photo. Any idea why I can't view the entire image?
Gracias for any info on this.

Good report, Roger. We were at a friends house here in Coronado when the earthquake hit. The back yard was rocking and rolling, the water sloshing out
of the pool. It made it tough for the kids trying to find those eggs. Did you notice anybody camped in front of our house @ Coyote?

Palm trees at south end of coyote beach
20 years ago, a lone raccoon fell from the treetop and landed on my 2-man tent in the middle of the night while my wife was inside (I was up and
outside the tent and had shone my flashlight on the raccoon, startling it...). Her screams echoed across the bay.
Thanks for the flashback...

EASTER SUNDAY AT THE BEACHES
APRIL 4, 2010 PALM SUNDAY
The crowds are starting to clear out...most will have to return to work on Monday morning. It's a long hard drive to TJ & Ensenada in one day.
ABOVE - COYOTE BEACH
.
.
BURROS BEACH
.
.
COCOS BEACH
.
.
SANTISPAC CAMPING BEACH
.
.
This week all the beaches will be undergoing a massive clean-up after Easter vacationers have left for the north. Then it will be very, very quiet
around here. 
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

captain4tuna and others who may have trouble with Pompano's photos running off the screen, try this:
Hold down Ctrl (lower left corner of your keyboard) and roll the scroll wheel on your mouse.
That will quickly resize the screen large or smaller. Works with IE--not sure about you Mac people....

Mulege beach tranquility
Have no pictures to share, guys, but am delighted to report that the water of the Bay of Conception is WARMING UP!!
Spent Easter Sunday at Punta Prieta, the hidden beach at the north end of Mulege. Secret location or no, there were plenty of famlies enjoying the
day.
I spent an hour swimming in the water, no wetsuit needed. Water temp and clarity was excellent!! Slept in the sunny warm sand post-swim.

But the text is shrinked as well that method... easier to just scroll to the right ... I have posted this before... the Nomad page is distorted wide
for people with 15" monitors.
It's because the photos were not resized to 800 x 600 pixels or smaller (15" monitor size) when they were uploaded to Photobucket or Image Shack, etc.
This has been requested by Baja Nomad.
Next time, please click on 'more options' or whatever the photo site has the link called, right by where you click to upload new photos... then change
the upload size to 15" monitor, Large, or Medium. Any bigger will spread the Nomad page wide and require sideways scrolling to read the text and view
the entire photo. Any smaller and the photo will be hard to view.
Thank you!

Actually, it has to do with screen resolution and not monitor size. If your screen res is less than 1024 x 768, you will have horz scroll for
Pompano's pics as they are usually 1000-1024 wide. Most current monitors will be at least 1024 wide, but older laptops, netbooks and mini laptops
will be smaller, less than 1024. I would hate to see small pics, but ,yes, 800 wide would satisfy the lowest denominator.

Thanks for the tip BajaBruno about screen resizing. Ctrl - works too. I use a new (< 1 year old) netbook and 1024 pixels is the maximum resolution.
Many times I get horizontal scrollbars on this website because of wide photos.
I wonder what resolution the Apple iPad uses?
AND................
Thanks for the pix Pompano!!!
