Today was a travel day and there was no fishing (Gasp!).

Sunrise

We got on the road early and really didn't stop until Loreto for Lunch. Side note: There are some incredible beaches/water between Mulege and Loreto. This area is on my list to explore/camp/fish sometime for sure.

?Volcan?

The lunch place was nice, and the food excellent, but Sloooooow. This is the reason we almost didn't make it to our camp before dark.

Chorizo and eggs

We pulled in to Adolfo Lopez Matteos early evening and did a quick drive through town. It took us a while to find the dirt road leading north to our planned camp. We had out maps, screenshots from google earth, handheld gps, etc. Eventually we ended up driving down this road about 7 miles. It was sand, but pretty hardpacked (no 4wd needed). Lots of stutterbumps (we later aired down the tires for a much nicer/quieter ride). It was one way with very few places to turn around. We were a bit worried as there was not really a viable plan B for a place to spend the night.

To be continued... Photobucket is very slow currently!
