Bahia de los Angeles
03 March 2017
The drive from Guerrero Negro to Bahia de los Angeles was spectacular! We were all stunned by the beautiful wildflowers blanketing the desert. Another pleasant surprise was the road -- much better than Mex-1.
As we began our decent to the "Bay of L.A." we got our first view of the Sea of Cortez and the islands. Another stunner. We stayed in Daggett's RV park, right on the beach. Even though there are no hook-ups, this would rank very high on my list of favorite parks. There are defined RV spaces, each with a palapa and fire pit. And ... hot showers!! I've gotten so accustomed to cold showers that a hot shower stands out as a highlight!
Fortunately for us, the water was calm and the wind wasn't blowing much. We had a great beach walk down to the lighthouse and enjoyed collecting shells. (Dave has been very patient with my shell searching).
We had a nice group excursion to the local museum, a gallery, the onyx church, and a viewpoint overlooking the area.
We met some folks with an inflatable double kayak (something we may have to add to our inventory) and they offered to let us try it out. Once again, we had the thrill of kayaking with a small group of dolphins. It doesn't matter how many times you do this, it is always magical!!
This new caravan is a great group of people and they have really bonded during the trip. We only get to be with them for a few days, but they are sure to be fun!!
We had a great Margaritaville Happy Hour and potluck, complete with moose burgers, a bon fire and a few songs around the fire.
We loved the Bay of L.A., although we realize our conditions were nearly perfect and it wouldn't be as pleasant when the wind picks up.
