Our second campsite along this Pacific route was behind some dunes for wind protection. After making camp, we took a walk on the beach...

This sea lion allowed us to come close for photos!

Very cute... The Spanish word for sea lion is 'lobo' (also means 'wolf') and we were near Punta Lobos.

Baja California Sur (Tuesday)

Tuesday morning we finish our drive down the distant Pacific dirt road, have tamales for lunch at Carmelita's in Villa Jesus Maria, and reach the state border near Guerrero Negro where a giant eagle monument was built on the border celebrating the completion of Highway One, in 1973.

The paved highway going from Vizcaino to Bahia Tortugas allows easy access to once a very remote area of Baja. Here the road crosses an arm of the Scammon's Lagoon salt flats. Pavement ended at the junction for Bahia Asuncion. However, new asphalt was being applied for several miles towards Asuncion.
