Coyote Bay, 1965
Here is a photo of the GUAPANGUERO (converted navy patrol boat) looking very small from the old road as in starts down into Coyote Bay. One of us had
to go into Mulege to catch a ride home. It was much faster to take Manuel' panga in by sea that to go by land. Many hours by land, 45 minutes by sea.
We timed a truck coming down the hill into Coyote bay area from the south until he left the area to the north, took 2 hours.

Vince, I love that 1960's tranquility.
And sometimes the noise!
Vince, remember the only sounds you heard back then?...tornados of screaming gulls coming to our fish cleaning on the beach, nightly coyote
yodels...and those unbelievably LOUD Jake brakes that rattled our windows.
To compare with your 60's photo, here is ..
Present Day in Coyote Bay...
...still someone's paradise.
..and now Easter Madness has added it's flavor. The base thumps at 2 AM are...shall we say...'different'.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.
