Semana santa down Baja way!
Hi there, first post as a report if anything goes sideways blame it on Shari....JK, but she did dare me.
Across Mexicali on 3/29, San Felipe was crowded but not crazy..yet, lunch, get pesos, gas and off to Rancho Grande for a cool Mexican fiesta complete
with live nortenio band, following day continue South with the mandatory stop at Coco's but the star of the show was a no show (They said he was in
Ensenada for an eye operation?) next Calamajue canyon A+ ride end the day in BOLA next couple of days, hiking and visiting old churches..oopps sorry I
meant to say missions. Continuing South we had lunch at a most excellent spot "Playa San Rafael"and spend the afternoon at a very nice cave up on a
slope end the day at cosmopolitan Guerrero negro, the following day we visit with Shari and Juan, had a beautiful afternoon drive along the coast to
Abreojos, spent the night in San Ignacio..some really nice cabanas. the next day was a bucket list check kind of day......whales jumping and pushing
the panga..what an experience! We complete our outing with the last days at Mulege and Bahia Concepcion, returning on the black top with a break
overnight at El Turista...nice little place to catch some ZZZZZ"s but not before a plate of some really good "Machaca de calamar" at Mama Espinoza,
all and all a great round about without the need of running and hiding the children just because it was "Semana
Santa"http://i1360.photobucket.com/albums/r657/nadopedal/th_IMG_12251_zps54c72311.jpghttp://i1360.photobucket.com/albums/r657/nadopedal/th_IMG_0365_zp

Glad to hear you had a great trip. I keep asking Tracy if she's talked to you about it.

Hi Fernando, loving the photos of Calamajue Canyon and the close up of the spring... I have not hiked up to it... was the water warm or air temp or
cold?
To post photos or links, do leave a space between the link url and all other letters or symbols. The photo links for posting here are the links called
IMG in the pop up that shows, or the link list on the photo page. It would be great if they were uploaded at 800 or less pixels (click 'Upload
Options')... Next time you come by, I will show you how.

@ David, the water at the soda spring was cold, do you know if there has ever been a time that is been hot?
I will definitely need a one on one tutorial sometime soon, I am thinking that I did all the steps that you mention above but obviously
NOT...something is a miss...dangg it, I hate when that happens

Okay Fernando, let me know when you would like a step-by-step... you can call or u2u me, whatever is most helpful!
Remember, you can go back to your first post and EDIT it to make fixes, like adding the spaces on each side of a photo link.
