Viva Baja Van Trip #1 June 29-July 7, 2001
The 'break-in' voyage of the new 4WD van purchased by Amo
Pescar for Viva Baja Tours occured over the July Fourth week. Joining with
the van's pilot, 'David K' was his kids (Chris and Sarah), 'Travelpearl'
(Debra), 'El Camote' (Mike), David Eidell, 'Desert Rat' (Ron), and from
Cielito Lindo to San Felipe: 'Miguelito' (Mike Humfreville's son, Mike).
Two special day trips occured during this week. The first was on
Sunday to Las Pintas when Amo Pescar (Mike), Jeans (Mindy), Michelle and
her 'BHL' David joined us at that petroglyph and fossil grotto.
The other day trip was on Wednesday from L.A. Bay south 40 miles
in search of a lost (proposed) mission site, Santa Maria Magdalena. That
day we had as a guide, Jesus Flores, 80 years old, born in Calmalli, Baja
California. Riding in the van in addition was Paulina, Mike Humfreville,
and Baja historian John Perko.
The week started on Friday, at
Cielito Lindo south of Bahia San Quintin for Michelle's 'Boojum Buddies
Baja Bash' (BBBB) party.
Then it was on to Paulina's place on
Bahia de los Angeles, near Camp Gecko. A stop at Rancho Santa Ynez for
lunch and a hike to Tinaja de Yubay also happened that day (Monday).
Tuesday, we toured L.A. Bay's museum, the turtle project,
Humfreville's hut site, and swam with a whale shark at La
Gringa!
Thursday we headed north for the last camp at Alfonsina's
on Bahia San Luis Gonzaga.
Friday, it was home via San Felipe and
Mexicali.
So, kick back and enjoy the photos!>>>>
