Day 2 El Requeson South of Mulege BCS Mexico

The sunrise.

Today we were excited for a backroad adventure. We packed the cooler and headed to Mulege, 22 miles away to fill the Jeep. We also called mom and had FaceTime with David and the boys. We posted the blog from the 23rd with a note that we were out of service range. No worries… we are out having a blast!

We saw about 8 dolphins sluicing through the water just 100 feet offshore. We stopped to watch. From our elevated vantage point, we could see them clearly. It was so quiet that we could hear the spray from their blowholes as they swam.

This is the path that we intended to follow.

We missed the first gravel turnoff but we found the road to San Nicolas. The ride took across desert. We saw wild burros and their foals and lots of beautiful desert landscape.

We arrived at San Nicolas…really just a very small and simple village on the water. I love the contrast of the cacti and the desert landscape abutting the water of the bay!

We stopped for lunch after passing through La Ramadita, another small, modest fishing village.

San Sebastian was nestled in a protected cove and had nicer resort style buildings.

Here we turned back toward the Bahia Concepion. We walked along the beach gathering shells.

When we arrived at the end of the road…we knew why we had missed the turn earlier in the day…the gate was easily moved and replaced!

We grilled avocados and salmon for our dinner and sat beneath our palapa to eat, enjoying the lapping of the water and a small fire.
