We took a road trip south looking for an abandoned lighthouse on the Sea of Cortez. Much of the coast off-road is in sandy washes called arroyos and dirt roads wandering around in the hills of the coastline. This is not the rock climbing off-road that we do in AZ, though of course, that includes lots of sand too! Often we could see the lighthouse in the distance; however, finding the right road to it was a challenge. After a couple of 'side trips', we found a road that led to the beach and we backtracked to the lighthouse on the beach... all sand and some pretty deep. The photo second from bottom is of Mike roaring up the last hill, in pretty deep sand, to the lighthouse. With such a pristine beach, it is hard to see the run-down palapas, some up side down, on the beach. We did see two shimper/fish boats anchored offshore. The day was beautiful and we do love the sunshine here. Another day, another adventuer! The painting is an immature Cardinal, from a photo taken at Santispac. Happy trails....
