Baja California with the Z's - Days 11 & 12: Aerial Views and now Boondocking South of Puertecito

 Saturday, March 04

Easy day today, no chores, just relaxing.

The easy breezes led to the flying of the drone by Lori Z.

A decent color show prior to the sun's rising:

I believe we were on the road by 8:30 AM or so.  We returned to Highway 5 and turned the rigs south towards Puertecito.

We did do a brief stop as we approached Puertecito for the view:



After one slight detour in search for what appeared to be a shuttered/abandoned "market", we found the trail off Highway 5 and onto a beach area.

This site is listed on iOverlander, the app we've been using almost exclusive to do planning and deciding.

It was a bit overcast when we arrived but we had the place to ourselves.  After a bit of exploration, we decided to camp in the low lands, not the hill tops overlooking the water.  Stewie, the Z's overlander rig could get up these just fine, Uma not so much.   

Soon, we settled into our respective spots and set up camp.  Lori then went to enjoy some beach time:

Here's a closeup look at the cave-like opening at the left side of the small bay:


After all the above walking about, I decided to get Yagi and rode about for more shots:

I spent some of the afternoon just relaxing in the shade of the sunscreen I'd bought back last Fall and for which I'd not had a chance to use till today.


Tonight's sunset was nothing to speak of, so it was an early night for all of us.  I like this spot, more stuff to look at it seems.

Indeed RichardM, though the access trail was a bit rough...Uma has been on worse however.
