Baja - day 3 ..1/9/10












Well, cave paintings, bunk house dinner, and climbing rocky trail were part of today's adventures. Canada may have moose warning signs; America may have deer or elk warning signs, but Baja has Cow warning signs (with horns). We have never seen any of these animals at the warning signs, I guess they take them seriously... however, we did see roaming horses on the road and here in the park today.
We saw a marvelous 'rock garden' area on the way to San Quintin... with Boojum (don't know scientific name) cactus and some called "cardon' cactus that look alot like the AZ seguros, but with many arms coming from the base. We are dry camping again tonight. I did manage to get a photo of the horses in the parking area. Of course it appears I have not yet learned to get all photos upright!.. but that's Roger and me at the foot of the cave where we photographed the 400 yr old (or more) cave paintings. Dinner tonight was here in the rv park (loose term) put on by the family that tends this park. Very authentic and yummy! Turning in early tonight, all this fun is wearing us out!
I did include my latest painting, finished while still in the KOA park in Chula Vista. Tomorrow we go on to Guerrero Negro Malarrimo campground. We will go through a military check point and agriculture inspection. They are very serious here... very strange to see soldiers w/ guns and camouflage! But everyone is very friendly and no problems so far.
Happy trails.....
