Dr. Abraham Vazquez, ‘Doc’. Your host and physician at Camp Gecko.

Cody and ‘Fred-Ted-George’, one camp dog hanging around to comfort guests at Gecko.

Bahia de los Angeles campfires are always extra special with ‘magic rocks’ added for color! Magic rocks are copper ore from a nearby mine.

Mike and Steve (4Baja) after a hard day fishing (and maybe a beer or two)!

Jake ‘the wonder dog’, waiting for someone to put a bottle cap on his nose. He flips it into the air then catches it with his mouth! He goes everywhere with 4Baja.

The beach just south of Gecko. That’s Mike’s Mountain in the distance.

Mike’s Mountain

Named after the man who converted a cave at the summit into a guest house. The climb up takes 5 hours, only 3 to get down! Graham Mackintosh writes about it in his first book, ‘Into a Desert Place’. http://www.grahammackintosh.com/

Sink cut from solid stone. The drain runs to the outside.

Interesting details…
