Good Baja landmarks...I once lost an anchor close to where that old sailboat is mudbound. And I have coffee now and then in the harbormasters office. You can see that spot from here...:spingrin:

Bruce, take a guess at #1!:?:

It is a beach that connects to an island (in a bay) at low tide... much like El Requeson, but this is in Baja Norte.:light:

Congradulations everyone, you're all correct. I couldn't sleep last night and was feeling nostalgic for two of my favorite places to kick back in Baja.

Thanks for participating, friends.

Thanks Natalie!

For those who wondered, #1 is the beach at Alfonsina's, Gonzaga Bay and that mountain is the island in the bay.

Here's a classic map of the area from 1975. You pilots should recognize it! It's Arnold Senterfitt's 12 Edition Chart. Airports are IDed by the number in a circle which is the page in Arnold's book. Below are a pair of numbers, the first is the runway elevation in feet, the second is the runway length in hundreds of feet. So, '40--24' would mean 40' above sea level and a 2400 foot long runway.

NATALIE ANN ....
When did you take the PIC of that old sailboat in the mudflats in MULEGE ...???
That is the boat that I stayed on when it was in the MARINA at SANTA ROSALIA .... a couple of years ago. The owner got kicked out and moved it about 100 miles SOUTH to this river .... I just E-MAILED his daughter a couple of days ago to touch base with him and she doesn't know where he is staying ..... a true VAGABUNDO .....:bounce::bounce:

One more thing ... If it isn't a recent PIC ... could you check and see if it is still there ... ;D his daughter would love an update ..... gracias .... :bounce::o

David K - thanks for spelling out the Gonzaga Beach answer (guess I overlooked that part). Also the maps you posted are great!

Bob H. and Pompano - Really nice photos and I've no friggin' idea where they could be. Easy you say? I'm looking forward to the answers.

Cristobal - Synchronicity, I love it! The photo was taken in late February/early March of 2004. I'd love to drop by to see if the boat's still there, but we'll have better luck asking someone who's actually in Mulege now -

Hey Bruce, got some time to take a look?

And BTW, here's another boat in the Mulege River; don't believe anyone's lived on it for quite some time.

Natalie Ann....I have to go into Mulege later today and will post a photo on this thread later for you on that boat.

The shrine photo of mine in on the Bay road between Cocos beach and Burros...Bay of Conception about 15 miles south of Mulege.

That long road shot of mine is not fair....meant to be a joke. It's on the way to mi rancho in North Dakota!:spingrin:

The only clue I can get from your photo is the extra wide pavement... So, my guess is the Escalara Nautica 'highway' to Santa Rosalillita??!!
