Last Trip to Mulege
Two years ago, I made "My Last Trip to Mulege" due to my legs becoming uncooperative. I used to do it every August and really missed last year.
However, it seems that they are either better or I'm getting used to them and I expect to arrive on 21st.
I stay at Mulege Inn and spend every day at Coco's beach listening to music, reading my Kindle, and enjoying the birds.
Most meals are a Danny Boy since it's across the street, but at least one meal is a Equipalas (?) for a shrimp salad. I've eaten a El Candil but
they're usually closed in August. I guess it's too hot.
If anyone sees a white haired man with a Kindle in one of those restaurants , say Hi to Baja Bill.

Bill, how long you going to be there this fall??
We will be heading down in Oct. due to finishing up Doc appointments late Sept. and early Oct. and possible knee surgery later this month or early
next month so that might delay the trip this year.
We are either in the Orchard or out at Chivato... so will look for you if you are still there..

Enjoy your time in Mulege, it keeps drawing me back as well after all these years. I have never braved it in August or September however.

Bill: how cool that your last trip 2 years ago turned out not to be your last after all. I met you when kayaking at Los Cocos when you were here on
that trip. I hope we run into you again this year -- at Equipales, or elsewhere in town. Seems there are more visitors -- North Americans as well as
Mexicans -- in town this year, and more businesses are open and doing OK.

Glad to hear that El Candil will be open. That's three restaurants I'll be visiting. It would be nice to meet some Nomads.

I always hope to find El Patron open!
They were in July of 2007 and 2009, then weren't in 2012 and 2015.
I am glad you can go back to Mulegé, Bill!
Some more on El Patron (it's at the end of the north river road... any further and you would be in the sea)!

Going South from Mulege there is a community that has a tennis court next to Hwy 1. I don't know the name of that community. Coco's is the next
beach about 1 or 2 miles past it.

Just a friendly update; the tennis court gringolandia is Posada Concepcion. There is actually one beach between that and Los Cocos, Playa Escondido.
it's hidden back behind the small mountain to the east with a sign pointing the way in; not-so-good road in, not for large rigs or trailers.
Greatest beach for peace and quiet though. Then Coco's is where the highway first 'touches' the water.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

He apparently became bored. It began with limited days, and ultimately good-bye. My personal favorite in Mulege for many years is Los Equipales.

Looks a bit rustic compared to Los Equipales. Seem to remember There was another restaurant along the highway that was actually in a building. The
name escapes me right now.

I ate at that restaurant and don't remember the name either. The power had gone off for all of Mulege at about 4 am. They had customers at 7:00 so I
stopped. I guess propane works for them. Service was a little slow but I cut them some slack. I think I'll try that new one on the way back from
Coco's.

Can anyone give me an up to date report on Ray Lima's old place west of Mulege? Is the rv park open for business and how about the restaurant?

I had three wonderful days in Mulege and Coco's beach. Then disaster struck in the form of my back and I had to limp back home. The doctors are
working on it, and I hope to return in early August next year and meet up with some nomads to learn about life in that area,
Thanks for asking.
