This is the first beach in Mexico, had to let Willow out.

This was my 4th day driving. After days of 7,8,&9 hours in the truck i decided to make Thursday a short drive. Stopped just south of Ensenada at the Estero Beach resort.

Friday drove to Guero Negro, a military base on the 28 parallel.
This town is the closest to the grey whales mating area.
Was woken up by quite revelry @ 5:45am. Louder revelry @ 6am. Did you know that the military had a snooze alarm?
My accomodations were extremely sparse.
A bed and cold shower.
Hit the road early 7am, but lost an hour when I crossed the 28 parralel into the nountain time zone.

Saturday Willow and I had tacos in Mulege, then hit this beach just South of there at Concepcion bay.

Driving is tough in Mexico: no shoulders, on a two lane undivided highway. My strategy was to draft behind a fast local driver. Most of the time it was military humvees, kinda like Joe's personal military escort. Much less mental effort following a large truck and you know they will clear the way.
Sunday I followed a bus doing 120km/h on the 60 km/h road
