After almost dying and killing the F150 on the way in......We began to enjoy the reason for the trip. I may be an idiot but it's good to stretch yourself outta "the normal easy" we wake up with each day. Life was not always as we know it. We were nowhere near the caveman but we all got a taste of it. Good for the soul.
Jon trying to find the mini tube..........Family enjoying every second for a few hours.
This was my favorite day at the bay. Danny caught his first stand up wave. He just went out there and did it. His way. All those years of prepping, training and gently pushing were gone. He just went out there and did it and knew he could do it. He surfed for 5 hours that day. Am I dreaming?
Every day we woke up, made coffee, and headed to the beach. This is what seemed right. We stayed there until the sun made it's nightly escape. All day in the sun burned everyone but the white guy (Jon). Jon was busy applying aloe vera and lidocaine.
Usually as the sun set we went for a drive -- into town for ice, chips, beverages. This night we cruised thru camp, and surveyed the 7 points that make up "Scorpion Bay/Punta Pequena". We thew the kids in the back of the truck and let them bounce over every bump and ditch. It's not often kids get to ride in the back of trucks these days.
Here we are on the final night. Time to burn all the fire wood and take it easy by eating at the cantina. Good food for being in the middle of nowhere. The next morning Jon packed the truck after killing 3 scorpions that were camped under our tent. Sorry.....no rights for things that can kill you when so far away from Kaiser.
Stayed at El Dorado Hotel in Loreto. Nice hotel. Met a US guy who is in town repairing fibreoptics that hurrican Juan wrecked last year. Went to eat at local favorite restaraunt -- great!!! Sunset was epic.
Last Day.....Left Catavina and upon arriving in San Quentin saw the second car accident, this time involving an 18 wheel Mexican big rig and a van. No injuries - amazing. Then we headed for Ensenada and took the road towards Tecate. We waited 4 hours in the border line. Guessing it was due to all the Mexicans coming to Mexico to vote (election day) then returning back to the beautiful US. It was nice to be back home. Never take for granted the tremendous road system we have here in the states. Lines, reflectors, shoulders -- amazing!
