I had promised my wife I'd turn around and start heading home that evening. I went as far south as I could, but the road got rough and slow-going (rocky instead of smooth sand) at about mile 8, and I ran out of time and just camped when it got dark (green dot): -- Geoff

I did see that! From the ground it looked kind of like a big "right turn" arrow pointing to the right painted up there on the hilltop. (I could only see the bottom and right arms of the 4-arm cross at the time, the other two must've been hidden from me on the road.) I didn't get out of my...

Thanks! I was in Mexico for 8 days. Heading south out of Bahía de los Angeles? No, I was a bit preoccupied -- it was late on drizzly afternoon, and I was just driving hard to make it to the San Rafael area to camp on a beach before nightfall.

Here's a northern Baja trip I just took at the beginning of this month. I accomplished my mission of investigating some new secluded spots! As you can see, the trip was through the Laguna Salada area, down the gulf coast through San Felipe & Puertecitos, again down that coast southeast of...
