Baja California with the Z's - Days 4&5

Saturday, February 24

A day of long walks for me and exploration of San Felipe for the Z's.

It would be the warmest day so far in our sojourn into Baja California. I believe it would soar into the high 60s but it felt much warmer as I wandered out onto the tidal flats at the beach.

While I did that, Chris and Lori took the TWs and road to the nearby town of San Felipe to see what they could see.

I was on a quest to see what kind of sea life the tidal flats would render once the ocean water was gone for low tide.

Bottom line, there wasn't much sea life to be had, I guess they were smart enough to go out with the tide as it had receded from the shoreline.

I did catch, only because he was moving at the time, this little fellow who was basically smaller than the fingernail on my small pinky.

Great camouflage huh?

Chris and Lori came back from the ride with favorable impressions of the town of San  Felipe.  They had lunch there, checked out the grocery store, and just basically rode around looking at the town and its people.

Here's pics of some of the sand dollars I picked up from the tidal flats and in case you ever wondered what plastic Flamingos eat....

Lazy Day today, not much got done and definitely no riding.  It was windier today than yesterday too, so a bit less enjoyable.

I did go for a short hike to explore nearby trails but not much in the way of pics.
