san felipe>bahia de los angeles


burdened with an extra heavy load and soft sand, the white buffalo catches her breath
but not for long
the gas station attendant with his prized golf ball in mouth
met some cool bike tourers from seattle. kudos to them
emmett gets a lifestyle shot
david's truck's fuel tank didn't take kindly to rocks, so we had to patch some holes with epoxy putty
garen the desert marmot
group exploration while the epoxy sets
camper the wonder dog keeps a watchful eye 
finally made it to bahia de los angeles.  while restocking provisions at this little tienda we found this guy on the roof
the next morning we woke to a lovely moonset
and sunrise over cortez

bahia de los angeles>seven sisters

the welcome sight of rain
mmmm lard
camp
got a panga out to a very enchanted pinnacle, and each scored a cabrilla
uncle joe and his trusty 55" socal tracker
porgie, just like the snapper in NZ

at the filleting palapa
the next day, we crossed the peninsula to the pacific, with our eyes set on some waves.
here david's trusty little 2wd taco scampers up the hill under bobby's watchful eye
the sand points answered
...and answered
a fish taco, a lobster taco and in bed by 8

the pacific side

new years day, we awoke to a blustery offshore
though fully zipped, the fine dune sand blew right through the mesh on matt's tent
the indigenous ballena 12 pack
fish hook cactus with fruit
dudleya
hillside cave with midden slide
a steep but worth it climb
midden close up

a unique worn round rock...maybe for breaking shellfish?
luscious lichen
mongo no fit
some familiar faces in foreign places...justin, teddy and devon
brittany readies us for our long trip north to the frontera

tacos el recreo

and finally on the drive home, we fasted all day for adobada & carne asada tacos in maneadero
