Scenes from a long bus ride around Baja California Sur (part two)

Our next stop was Mulege:

We had lunch there and I had rice and beans. That makes 4 meals running of rice and beans!

Outside of Mulege, Artemio stopped the bus at Bahia Concepcion. It’s a beautiful beach area on the Gulf of California:

The beaches are lined with trailers and extremely elaborate camp set-ups.

The beach pictured here is Playa Santispac and the nightly fee is about $10. Hopefully you have your own toilet if you’re camping here because I used the “free community” bathroom while we were there and you should ALL be thanking me right now that I did NOT include a picture of it. Even Ron, who’s pretty easygoing, was traumatized by his visit to the toilet!

I got a chance to talk with a couple of the residents. There were about 100 trailers there – all were from British Columbia except for one from Alberta, one from Colorado, and one from Montana. The couple I spoke with drove down from a city 5 hours north of Vancouver. It took them 5 days to get to the Mexican border and then 2 more days to get to Bahia Concepcion. They arrived in November and will leave in April.

Ron and I both felt that the place was gorgeous and we would be happy there for slightly less than the standard 5 months – perhaps 48 hours, assuming a workable bathroom.

That’s it from here.
