Kayaking at BOLA. you wouldn’t like it, I think you last said kayaks are “stupid.” So details will be kept confidential.
Following trip will be in the mountains, again, details secret ‘cause you are unpleasant, and you spam gps coords far and wide that does nothing but
ruin a good thing. Best you be kept away from the secret spots.
Woke!

JZ nothing planned until Nov. A small group of us plan to do the Pole Line Road then what some call the Green Door (I don't know why) which is a trail
south of LA Bay bypassing Pancho's place. I did it about 20 years ago. We also plan to do the trail east of San Quintin in the mountains with a visit
to the Mission Visita San Isidoro. Then a run to R. El Coyote and out to Mikes Sky Rancho. It's all still in the planning stage for now.

It's called the Green Door because there used to by a car door propped up with rocks at the junction, and covered with decals, naturally. I think I
added the Viva Baja bumper sticker in 2001?
Here's a photo of Paulina and Dern at the green door... before it vanished:
The old and new roads both on this older AAA map:
Jesus was the famous Jesus Flores from the Erle Stanley Gardner books, who had a lost mine location for sale. The Tinaja de Santa María was a water
source on the Golfo Camino Real, written about in Arthur North's 'Camp and Camino in Lower California' published in 1910. Jesus showed me the location
in 2001. The old road from the green door south was the route of the Gardner party in 1966, which they basically reopened and built by hand where
needed. It was that trip that the mystery walls were discovered, and Choral Pepper photographed for here Desert Magazine article in which her research
makes this a likely candidate for the proposed mission of Santa María Magdalena. See geoffff's phots and drone flyover posted recently.

I had a tandem kayak but sold it after the divorce in 2008. It's a nice activity and a very good workout. Ex-wife developed Lupus, so it only was
used 3 or 4 times.

My next Baja trip
Ah my next Baja trip..... we are still on our last trip after retiring full-time in Loreto in 2005. Today I got up at five to go fishing we have a 13
knot offshore wind so we decided to put that off for a few days.
The Norra race comes into town on Tuesday so we can watch the cars come in and the next morning we’ll go out to the arroyo and watch the cars
leave, that’s always fun.
The following week we have a off-road adventure planned, we’ll load up the Can-Am‘s and the razors and trailer them Punta Abreojos we’ll
spend the night in La Bocana and the next morning drive up the beach to Bahía Asunción. The next morning we will off-road to Bahia Tortugas for a
two night stay. The first day we’ll drive the western part of Playa Malarrimo passing by the Pueblo’s Malarrimo and Queen. The next day we do a
little highway time, before turning left and back on to the trail to Malarrimo that takes you to the Estero Mike McCann, after a little beach combing,
we’re back to Bahia Asuncion to spend the night. The next day down the beach to La Bocanna for our last night and of course a great dinner with our
friend Juaquine before heading back to Loreto the next day.
That should keep us busy till the middle of next month then we’ll figure out what next to do. Maybe they’ll be lots of Dorado by then, there’s
quite a bit of sargasso floating around that’s a good sign.

Paris, she's not a Baja dog per se, but loves the desert and ocean.

I love that dog! What a great photo.
We are headed to La Paz next Wednesday 8th May! Will be there almost a week seeing dermatologist for skin checkup, dentist for tooth checkup and
meeting up with Harald one day, the German guy's girlfriend Maria hopefully another day and sneaking over to Los Barriles another day.
Then off to Europa for 4 months and I am besides myself with happiness. England Poland Germany ... Hungary, Croatia and Greece. all by car! Les
gets to plan the way back via Italy.

Your pooch looks like she is having at least as much fun as your son.....maybe more. That's a lot of dog hair to be managing...

I want to explore out at Punta Pulpito, north of San Basillo. Looks like there could be some pocket beaches out there out of the northerlies. San
Basillo is filled with campers that stay there for 3 months. When here is only 7 decent spots close to the beach, it kind of sucks.
One tight switch on google earth on the way to Pulpito that looks like it could be interesting for my camper.

I've been there by boat a couple times, but not by land. There are a bunch of caves along that part of the SoC coastline. Is there a road to get out
to Pulpito?

I had a buddy go out there last year. Once you go south of San Nicholas most of the road is along the beach. Check it out on google earth. I want
to try it next year. Did you do any spearfishing there?
Tried to post a pic of my German Shepard but the photos just don’t come across.
